Hey Jack, its a fact, the jets are wack

Obvious troll is obvious

Is Bradway still on the payroll?

I actually wouldn't be too pissed if they kept him on. I get the lingering resentment and he'll always be the Doug Jolley guy to me, but his track record is one of the few that isn't horrible in the current FO. He's the reason the Jets traded up for Revis and he's been in Tannenbaum's ear for another QB going on two drafts now with Dalton and Wilson. There's actually some evidence that he's good to have in an advisory role, just not in any way making decisions. But it also may be time to just do away with everyone from the past two administrations. It's probably time to start completely anew.

I hate Sanchez so much more for not making sure T0mShane got that tattoo.

I would be performing some serious back-alley scalpel job on that as we speak.

Just wait until they name Bradway the interim GM while Mike goes back to contracts. Im not kidding either. The Jets dont let guys go they just shuffle the chairs on the Titanic

No way

[Churchill]

Best of luck, if this report is indeed true, to Mr. Tennenbaum in his future endeavors.

Rex's future, surely, will be up to whomever the new General Manager will be.

It's not personal. Whomever is the best available person to coach, should be the Coach. If thats Rex, alrighty then, if not, then he should be fired and the better option hired.

That simple, really.

I can't possibly imagine that happening. Even if Woody thinks it would work out great, even he's not that big of an idiot to not realize the insane backlash that would come from making that move, and that alone would keep it from happening. He would get absolutely crucified by everyone; the fans, the media and league-wide as well.

That said, I'd bet Bradway is still kept around in his current role, or a comparable one, at the very least through the upcoming draft.

well,if you ascribe to the theory that the GM should select the coach, you wait to fire Rex. The GM might want him, God forbid.

Theres 2 ways to do this, one, you hire the GM you believe is the best candidate, and you give him the freedom to do whatever he wants to do with Rex.

The other way, the Jet way, is to ask candidates what they would do, or tell candidates that Rex is staying, and then only hire a candidate who is willing to keep Rex on.

I am fairly confident that the Jets will go the Jet way.

That's false.

Rex Ryan remains head coach per the press release. This info is available in the other thread.

Needed to happen. Good for him. Now Terry Bradway and the rest of the FO are all in limbo until a new GM decides what to do with them, same with Rex.
Given that we are firing Sparano regardless and Pettine's contract is expiring, might be the best time to fire Rex. Otherwise Woody will have to eat the new assistant's contracts next year.

Ideally Rex accepts a DC position if we can bring in a respectable HC (Reid?) and a competent OC

[Lil Bit Special]

Wouldnt it be easier to bring in a new head coach too since you're probably changing all your coordinators???

The following statement is from Jets owner Woody Johnson:
Our 2012 season was a disappointment to all of us. My goal every year as owner is to build a team that wins consistently. This year, we failed to achieve that goal.
This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season. Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship games, we are not where we want to be, and a new General Manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track.
Starting immediately, we will conduct a search for a new General Manager. I’ve consulted with a number of football executives and I have also engaged the services of Korn/Ferry International, the same search firm that conducted the NFL Commissioner search in 2006. Our process with Korn/Ferry will be led by Jed Hughes, who heads their sports practice and who previously led the General Manager search for the Seattle Seahawks, among others. When we have updates on this process, we will provide them to our fans and the media.
Rex Ryan will remain the Head Coach of our football team. I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team.
Like all Jets fans, I am disappointed with this year’s results. However, I am confident that this change will best position our team for greater success going forward.

Oh no. keeping REx as a DC is not ideal. It is like having a ghost around. It would split the team. When you clean house, clean house.
