Thats why Woody is keeping Rex. He already knows Rex will be scooped up by someone real fast.

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.
I do like Rex, but I think it's a massive mistake to guarantee him the job before a new GM is put in place.

Agree Slats, but that tells me the new GM has agreed to come already under those terms.I do like Rex, but I think it's a massive mistake to guarantee him the job before a new GM is put in place.

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.

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
See, I've told you this before, but people never know when you're joking because of how serious you always are. Just look already, several people actually arguing that this won't happen.
(Chandler)'s a nice piece as long as he's the 7th most important player on your roster....I think they're going to be disappointed when they see he's just a pumped-up Drew Gooden.

Statement from New York Jets Chairman & CEO Woody Johnson

If the new GM cannot pick his own HC then this franchise is clueless. It is also going to limit his list of candidates for the GM position.

It will limit the position to either a GM who is totally green, or one who has been castrated so much, that he has no other choices.
Ladies and gentlemen, your new GM, Tom Heckert.
LOL ignorance is bless.
