Report: Bob Sutton will be Chiefs new DC

This is what I don't understand. Giving a HC one year to 'sink or swim' with some new GM and new coaches and new players, and maybe even a new QB does what for anybody? So if the Jets go 8-8, does Rex stay and it's another one of those, we will give you another year.

If Rex goes 6-10 does he get fired even if the defense was good, but the offense sucked because Moore/Sanchez and the new OC sucked and the draft picks by said new GM sucked. How is that building anything? And why would the GM get a pass if his coaches and drafts and free agent signings stunk?

GM would have to get a pass. New draftees cannot be fully evaluated in their rookie season. The cap nightmare will be inherited, as will the HC. There will be no way of knowing the value of the GM until he is able to run the team and personnel decisions HIS way, for several seasons. This is why, IMO, the GM hiring is more important than a HC hiring. The Jets have it backwards. They are letting the HC have input into hiring the team's General Manager. Which is so completely ludicrous it can only be a NYJ scenario.

There's another scenario that I know I know....carazy....but:

Perhaps Sutton was offered a promotion with a reputable HC and the Jets had no real incentive to keep him beyond "there's a chance new GM might like him." It's not as if Sutton is a Rex Ryan hire...

Don't use logic, silly.

Remember, Pettine/Sutton etc ..all this means they are going after longer term contracts and fresh starts cause they KNOW Rex (and his staff) are dead men walking in 2013 with new GM.

They are protecting their mortgage payments ;)

SUtton must've lived for almsot 2 decades in the NY/NJ area and at his age says a lot that he's going elsewhere.Beepers, red lights, alarms. He went form Army for several seasons as HC before Parcells brough him in in the later 1990s. Could be the longest-serving assistant with one team until today .
