If you fire Idzik after making him keep Rex, you might as well throw a hazmat bubble over the entire facility, because you're never getting anyone to work here ever again.

Au Contraire Iddy had no backbone, more qualified GM's turned down Jets job cause of rexey. He fired Tanny's scouting staff cept for Bradway and got "12 yrs a slave", at least with Tanny's scouting staff they got Richardson.

 

New GM will get to pick his own guy.  there are only 32 jobs in the world, so there will be no issue once Woody allows a football man to run the show.

 Idzik drafted Geno. Do you really trust him to draft another QB?

 

 If there was not a QB worth taking in that draft the GM should have brought in a competent Vet to win now. Chris Johnson looks bad. 20 Mil in cap space says FU to the fanbase @ 1 - 8.

I know this is your new narrative with your man J0hnIdzik, but the guy thru two years has done a bad job. It's okay to fire him. Potential replacements should believe they'll be better GMs than he's been, and shouldn't be concerned that he got a quick hook. In Woody World, the quick hook is the unusual move, not the common one. Rex has been here six years, Tannenbaum had been here since Parcells, Bradway is still employed. No one looks at the Jets as a place where they'll have no job stability, and that view won't change after one quick and timely firing.

And if that's the best reason to keep him, there's no good reason to keep him.

This time around, the job will be much more attractive than it was when Idzik was hired. There will be no head coach he's forced to keep, no best player he's forced to trade. The cap is in much better shape, and they'll have a high draft pick. Plenty of people will line up for this position.

By this standard, Belichick should never be allowed to make another pick as long as he lives.

GM candidates work decades to just get in line to interview for these jobs, and the quickest way to throw all that away is to take a job with a bad owner who lets Manish Mehta and moron-sponsored billboards dictate how he runs the team.

You, slats, would not take this job under those circumstances. The best course of action is to let Idzik have two more years to implement his plan, and pray it works.

What quality head coaching candidate is going to come work for a GM who is on thin ice?  If Idzik is retained, you're limiting the pool of coaches who will be willing to come here.  

 

Even your boy Bevell might not take that risk.

Idzik is only on thin ice in the hearts and feeble minds of Rex apologists.

You don't know that for sure. None of us do.

 

But if he is retained, the perception will be that he is on a very short leash. That will factor in on a coach's decision to come work here.

Disagree on both counts. It'd probably be a nice bump in pay for me, and I'm getting close to retirement anyway.

Your view that this job becomes less attractive if Idzik is fired after this season is just flat out wrong, IMHO. And the idea that giving this guy another two years is the best course of action is crazy. The team now is much worse than it was two years ago. You talk about potential GMs not wanting to come here if Idzik is fired, what head coach candidates are gonna wanna come to work for Idzik on the two year plan? And do you want to continue the keep the GM fire the coach, keep the coach fire the GM thing going in perpetuity?

This is a great time to clean house. Under a new GM, the head coaching job is much more attractive, too.

Wrong if you do not Fire Iddy now you will eventually turn into a Cleveland scenario. Iddy fired in 2 yrs and new GM hires another HC.

No great HC candidate will take this job with a LAME DUCK GM.

 

If you have Herpes, 2 more years of his IDDYOCY will not cure it.

I voted to fire idzik. let the new gm ( hopefully the right one) figure out the rest of the lineup as he sees fit. he can keep who he wants (if any) and discard the rest. woody needs to fire idzik, hire a new gm, and then step out of the way completely

Do you, or anyone, exactly know what Idzik's plan is?

In his short time here, it looks like the same plan the Jets have used since they hired Rex.

Focus on drafting defensive players, ignore offensive playmakers and the Oline and totally screw up FA signings.

And you think Idzik deserves 2 more years?

Maybe, but that guy realistically has about as much of a chance as Bernie madoff does getting involved in a hedge fund

Either way, this new guy isn't hacking it. When Alosi was here, we were one of the league's healthiest teams year in and year out. Since he was fired we've been injury-riddled. That's more than just a coincidence. Proper training plays a big role in injury prevention.

We've known that we are extremely thin at OL for the past three seasons.  Two years is plenty of time to implement a plan to bolster this unit. 

We knew we had ONE (at best) nfl caliber CB ... a draft and a free agency period is plenty of time to have a serviceable squad.

 

This is on Idzick and scouting.  And its unconscionable to go into this season with the roster that we have. 

 

Time to start fresh and build from the bottom up, bring in someone with a comprehensive vision and let them hire brand new staff to implement.

The T0mShane wet dream plan:

 

1.  Fire Rex

2.  Fire every scout underneath Idzik.

3.  Hire Parcells in a well-paid, 2-year consultant role.

4.  Allow Idzik to have ultimate authority on next HC decision (Bevell) and steal as many of Seattle's scouting people as possible.

 

If a turnaround doesn't happen by the end of 2016, completely start from scratch and hope Woody sells the team.

Burn the whole thing down.

Yup.  I think it was slats who said to make sure all the corners are swept clean.  That's the only answer.

 

We're paying now for Woody having kept Rex when he hired Idzik.  Put us back two years.  Unless everybody goes at once and we start over with a true leader, we get pushed back another 2-3 years with no end in sight.

Looking at the contracts he's handed out (including Rex's), everything is geared toward 2015-2016. There's actually a nice, young core signed beyond that.
