Is Idzik Done? Idzik has alienated staff, coaches By Adam Schefter | ESPN

[Ken Schroy]

While speculation persists about Rex Ryan's future with the New York Jets, the man on the warmest seat in the organization just might be general manager John Idzik.

Multiple sources within the organization tell ESPN that Idzik has alienated not just Jets fans, but those in the organization around him in the front office and on the coaching staff. Those sources in the organization said Idzik has not played the game of politics well, internally or externally, and it has cost him support in various areas.

John Idzik has not only alienated Jets fans, but members of the Jets' front office and coaching staff as well, according to sources.

 

Jets management is aware of the unhappiness being expressed about Idzik and that is expected to be a consideration when Jets owner Woody Johnson decides just how major the changes he makes to the organization will be.

The people behind the website FireJohnIdzik.com, who raised money from disgruntled New York Jets fans to put a billboard near MetLife Stadium, announced Friday that it will distribute "protest towels" to fans at the Jets' final home, Dec. 21 against the New England Patriots.

The group produced 10,000 "protest towels" that will be available late next week in various bars in the New York/New Jersey area. Show a ticket to the bartender, and you get five free towels.

Fire idzik guys are definitely making a big splash.

The Fire Idzik guys are not creating the internal struggle that's been going on for as long as the articles are alluding to, this has been a deep-seated problem that was manifested months before those guys got together.

I only did that because I remember you taking great joy in correcting my grammar awhile back. 

[BigRy56]

I really liked Idzik up until this previous offseason. He's a guy that's in way over his head and it's clearly time for him to go. The Jets need to hit the full reset button this offseason to get this arrow trending up.

You may personally hate him, but he is the single most reliable NFL reporter in the world. He does not fabricate things.

It's usually a joke, I don't particularly care about online grammar. But the expression has nothing to do with a feeling of being planted deep within one, but instead refers to its being seated firmly within one’s breast. It's seated

Yes, the situation definitely required stirring up... everything had previously been quiet on the Jets front before this.

I love the fact that the sole distribution channel is "various bars".

Thanks Izdick

Woody should fire Idzik, then hire a new GM  with the stipulation that he must fire Rex.

Seeing him do Old Navy commercials is kind of awful. It's not as bad as Dre selling out to Apple, but it's pretty bad.

[SoFlaJets]

I'm with sg3 on this... that fireidzik guy is all about making a name for himself...wait...what IS his name anyway? Yea well if I KNEW it then I would definitely be right.

POTWN

that's right, I'm setting a new precedence by nomming MYSELF for a Post Of The Week...that's if we still HAD a POTW competition.

If 20-year-old Dre saw his roided-up, tight-fitted-shirts-wearing, apple-partnering current self, he'd probably shoot him.

 

He's a business genius and $2.6 million cash up-front is nothing to sneeze at, but this is the dude that gave us the chronic. Now he's gonna be a board member of Apple.  That's the American dream.

[vincenzo69]

Idzik needs another 5 years to prove himself.

This story sounds like a plant from Wrex PR agent.

For $3 billion, I'll let the reanimated corpse of Steve Jobs sodomize me.

 

I'm just shocked a headphone company could command such money, but it shows what I know...

[Beerfish]

Who gives a fig if he has alientated the coaching staff and front office.  The coaching staff have failed horribly and the scouting and dvevlopment staff stinks as well for the most part.

 

Too bad so sad, he is going to fire the crappy coaching staff after the year anyways.  Dunbar is about thew only I could care to bring back, guys like Rex and Lal and Lee and the rest can gtfo.

Beans is retired. He did it best. And I miss the POTW nomination button.

some placements are guaranteed.  you find the replacement for no additional cost.  sucks.  it's called backfilling

What? No. Come on. No.

[Gastineau Lives]

The Jets have four wins on this date next year and we're in fire Idzik mode anyway. Chop him now.

That's what you think.  He's going to get fired before he has a chance to fire anyone.  

[Beerfish]

I have no problem with him being fired as long as the whole crew goes, all of them, all crappy  coaches as well and most of the crappy scouts.

people have been underestimating us all along. If you seriously think that we don't have a few more tricks up our sleeves then we look forward to proving you wrong. No worries, these towels will get in the hands of our supporters.

Why don't you just hand them out to fans as they're entering the stadium? Wouldn't that make more sense than this "pick one up at the bar" idea?
