@AdamSchefter: Falcons director of player personnel Dave Caldwell is scheduled to interview today a second time with the #Jetsfor GM job.


His drafting is terrible compared to Gamble. This makes no sense.

Interesting. The local radio stations here in Jax said that Caldwell has his 3rd interview today and his by far the favorite for the Jax job. 3rd interviews are typically dotting the I's and crossing the T's.

I wouldn't assume too much out of this. Yes, he is the first person to have a second interview, but that could have just as much to do with the fact that he was also the first person to have any interview. Obviously the Jets must be interested to even bother, but I wouldn't say that makes him who they already want to hire, considering there hasn't even really been enough time to bring back any of the other candidates. I would have to think there would be at least one other candidate brought back for a second interview, otherwise why even bother, but I suppose you never know.

It seems as if the Jets search for a new general manager has taken a turn.  It was widely reported that San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble was going to replace Mike Tannenbaum as the team’s GM.  It was assumed Gamble would become GM after reports surfaced that he canceled a second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their GM job.  Gamble to the Jets does not look as defiant as previously thought because he is still interviewing with other organizations.

The Jets did interview New York Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross on Monday for the GM position but it was wide thought this was done just to satisfy the NFL’s “Rooney Rule” which requires teams to interview a minority candidate for certain positions within the organization and Gamble would be named GM soon after.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter the Jets have scheduled a second interview with Atlanta Falcons director of player personnel David Caldwell today for their GM position:

Falcons director of player personnel Dave Caldwell is scheduled to interview today a second time with the NY Jets for their GM job.

With owner Woody Johnson and head coach Rex Ryan scheduled to meet the media at 11 this morning it leads one to believe they do not have Gamble nor any other GM candidate on board as of yet.

As we hear it, both teams want Caldwell. But one league source says that Caldwell and the Jaguars had a financial gap that couldn’t be bridged, which has prompted Caldwell to explore more seriously the opportunity in New York.
And the opportunity in New York has arisen for Caldwell in part because, as we hear it, Tom Gamble’s interview with the Jets didn’t go well.

Looks like we are getting a Polian guy no matter what. Both Gamble and Caldwell are from Polian-tree.

[Stonehands]

I am sure this meeting will help Caldwell's ability to get more money from the Jaguars.

After that press conference suspect we are looking at internal candidates only. Ross and Gamble are only interviewing with the Jes to either get better deals with their old teams or elsewhere.

That press conference could be the worst debacle for this franchise since Bellicheat fleeing to Foxboro. Woody Johnson has hitched hsi franchise to a moron named Rex Ryan.

I think JETS are just interviewing Gamble again to find out how much interest Jax has in trading for Tebow!

Is it customary for teams to send a private jet to get the GM candidate in for an interview ?

Last night Woody's private jet was spotted at the nearest airport to the Falcons facility. So they brought Caldwell in on a private jet!

Don't worry bud, he was just using us for negotiating leverage. He's overqualified for our GM position
