Mark Sanchez said Jets wanted a more professional look on media day this season. Last year Bart flipped off a photog, Holmes stormed out.

I said same thing when I saw him slink out, early guess is yes. RT“@NickSpano: With Tanny gone, does that mean Ducasse is toast?”

Norv Turner fired by Chargers. He's high on Jets' OC list, but that will be a tough get. #Jets

I think Norv has been living off of that insanely talented Cowboys team he was lucky enough to be a part of for too long now.

That said, he would be an enormous upgrade over Sparano.

Then again, keeping Schotty would have been an enormous upgrade over Sparano.

I don't think so. Sparano may not have been brilliant at what he did but he was certainly an upgrade over Schotty!

Turner will have his pick of several OC jobs this offseason, with the Jets' being near the bottom in talent pool and under the most scrutiny. Unless he really wants to work with Rex (translation: the Jets offer him well above market value), there's no way he comes here.

There is no way any good OC is coming here to work with Rex, who is a bad year from getting fired, in cap hell, and atrocious offensive personnel.

They will have to take a chance on a young OC who nobody else wants who is desperate for a chance.

Mike Tannenbaum releases statement, calls job with Jets 'opportunity of a lifetime'

Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum already gave a speech to players and coaches today. Just a few moments ago, he released a statement to the media as well. Here's the statement in full:
I want to thank Woody and his entire family for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime -- serving as the General Manager of the New York Jets for seven years.
I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of rebuilding a winning tradition for Jets fans over the past 15 years. My days with Coach Parcells through my years as General Manager of the team that went to back-to-back AFC Championship games have been the fulfillment of a dream I have had since I was a little kid and I'll always be grateful to Woody, the two head coaches, Rex and Eric, as well as all of the players, staff and the entire organization for this opportunity.
While of course it is disappointing to not achieve the ultimate goal of winning a championship, I am incredibly proud of our overall winning record and success. I feel very fortunate to have been the general manager who drafted cornerstone players during a period that yielded four playoff victories and 22 Pro Bowl appearances.
I appreciate that it is rare for someone to stay with one organization with such a wide range of responsibilities for so many years. My time with the Jets will always be special to me and my family and it has prepared me well for whatever comes next.
There are champions on this team that haven’t been crowned yet. I am confident that the base we've established will allow the New York Jets to continue a winning tradition for years to come and I wish everyone in the organization the best of luck.

[Lurking Troll]

Jeez...what OC wouldn't jump at the chance to work with Rex and Sanchez?
