Beerfish Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Pretty tough for scouts and personnel guys in that situation. You know you have a good chance of getting the axe and yet still have to do your job for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Pretty tough for scouts and personnel guys in that situation. You know you have a good chance of getting the axe and yet still have to do your job for months. My guess is they knew it was coming - it was likely discussed well before that they would be asked to get through the draft and they would move on.

32EBoozer Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 http://www.ganggreennation.com/2015/5/4/8542905/the-new-york-jets-continue-to-clean-house Soon after Mike Maccagnan was hired, the team let Terry Bradway and Jeff Bauer go. One of Maccagnan's stated goals was to remake the scouting department in his image, as he felt the team did not dedicate sufficient resources to it. Today, we have some news from Brian Costello: It isn't clear if there are remaining holdovers from the old regime, or the past ten years, but it's clear the entire department has seen a makeover. This is what's more typical; to wait until after the draft to fire the scouting department, and Bradway/Bauer were the exception. But now, essentially everyone is gone, and Maccagnan is free to bring in his guys. I don't want to gloat, since a number of I'm sure good people just lost their job, but it will be interesting to see what Maccagnan does next.

slats Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 @SethWalderNYDN: Prophett had been with the Jets since 2000. Courtright, Hinson, Prescott and Turner were hired by John Idzik. #nyj All scouts hired by the accountant had to go. Good. Weird that they knew it was coming and it was done after the draft. How much involvement did they have leading up to this draft? If I told a scout that I was going to fire them right after the draft then I would not trust anything out of their mouths. It's not like that. This is the field these men chose, and they knew going in that they'd be hired and fired based on the whims of new hires above them. If they purposely did anything to sabotage the Jets' draft, they'd be blackballed from ever getting hired again. Everyone did the best job they could on their way to their next job.

If I told a scout that I was going to fire them right after the draft then I would not trust anything out of their mouths. I doubt they were specifically told as individuals that they were going to be fired. A guy like Prophett has survived several FO shake ups. I'm sure they were aware there were going to be big changes, but were also told to "give me a reason to keep you around". It is more common to fire scouting staffs after the draft then before. Just to much change in a very busy time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macagnan didn't have enough time to bring his own crew in for this year. SOP within NFL scouting. Maccagnan couldn't get scouts he wanted since they most likely had contracts with other NFL teams. Another team isn't going to let a scout leave when there is still 5 months of work to do leading up with o the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
