According to ESPN New York, "the word on the street" is that the Jets are telling potential GM candidates that they won't be considered for the job unless they agree to keep head coach Rex Ryan for a year.
It's similar to Phil Emery's arrangement with the Bears last season. The Jets' caveat could end up costing them a respected up-and-coming talent evaluator if Tom Gamble (49ers), Marc Ross (Giants), David Caldwell (Falcons), or John Dorsey (Packers) decides he would rather bring in someone who shares his own philosophy.

Cimini quoting Mehta who got the lowdown from Pettine....hardly credible.

Without even evaluating the validity of this particular story, it is kind of ridiculous that we're supposed to believe something must be more legitimate simply because it was reported by "multiple" sources. When you look at it, each article on the topic is simply pointing back to an article from a different source, and that article cites another site/paper as it's source as well and in the end, it all leads back to the same one report from the beginning that people were significantly less inclined to believe at the time.

If true.

Woody is married to Rex.

Rex is married to Sanchez.

Jet fans are married to Misery.

It's like sitting in a bar...one guys has an opinion, so does the guy sitting next to him...and so on...now we have multiple sources suggesting something...it's beyond comical...but ESPN is paying him...so go figure.

Woody has a tattoo of Rex sucking his wife's toes.

I hope we're on Intervention instead.

Common sense should tell us that having Rex as a coach is less attractive as having the job vacant.

Woody is trying to pinch a few pennies and and have a martyrdom at coach for next year. As long as moves aren't made in a "save Rex" mode to the roster, I can live with it.

6 mil is not pennies. I love how free and easy we are with OPM. Jets fans complain about bridge and tunnel tolls 15 bucks OMG but 6 mil of woody's money is no problem.

a case can be made that the franchise health long term is better if they wait a year on Rex and Sanchez than if they just burn 14 million for no apparent reason. if you guys are in the rebuilding mode then rebuilding can take a long damn time. what's the hurry if the house is a complete tear down

Well, I have this brilliant scheme for Woody to offset the loss of 6 mil. Let him charge people to personally license their seats, to pay for merchandise and all the other goodies that winning football teams enjoy. If he puts a good product on the field, one that people are not physically disgusted with, Bingo!

Woody's money?

Every cent of that contract will come out of our pockets. The Jets don't pay operating costs out of Woody's personal inheritance. In fact, the value of his franchise is worth more to him if he gets a capable GM that wins. A Super Bowl more than makes up for that 6 mil. It's called return on investment.

PS. Given your politics, I find you calling people out for spending OPM HILARIOUS

rebuttals 1) there's a less than 5% chance of a Super Bowl whether or not they fire the HC and cut the QB. 2) if it's our money, Cost vs benefits he should spend it on free agency or whatever instead of paying 2 people a combined 8 figures to not work for the Jets.

as for my politics first off wtf are you to ask. Potato is that some sort of euphemism for a butt plug?

but since you did I am also a kick the fg on 4th and 1 from the one type of football fan. 3 yards and a cloud of dust works. I root for the home team. as liberal as I might be in other areas (not that it's your business), i'm that Conservative as football fan. Reactionary even.

If Rex is such a brilliant mind, as you claim he is, some other team will snap him up, and the Jets would not be on the hook for the entirety of that contract.

If the jets are stupid enough to spend multi-millions extending a qb who hasn't done anything, then they should consider spending to align their coaching with their new direction. That is smart money spent.

[slats]

If the Jets job is unattractive because the GM might have to hold onto Rex for a year, how unattractive is the KC job where the new GM is being brought in to essentially do Andy Reid's bidding?

Could you imagine Rex cursing out doctor drew
