I threw up in my mouth once I realized that he was the one who used a first round pick on Tim tebow

Good writeup here

Admittedly, I know nothing about him and haven't read his info yet, but Broncos GM from '09-'12? Doesn't that mean he's the guy who traded away Marshall, Cutler, drafted Tebow, and hired Josh McDaniels?

Mike Westhoff says on @SNY that a few of his coaching/FO sources say Brian Xander is the name to watch for #Jets GM.

 

 

Xanders is the senior personnel executive with the Lions. Was the Broncos GM from 09-12

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, has signed a contract extension with NE that runs through 2020 season, per NFL sources.

Well. He definately didn't want the job! Or any other to be sure. Being a general manager sure does wonders for somebody's resume.

@RapSheet: #Jets requested to interview #Seahawks Director of Pro Personnel Trent Kirchner, source says. He’s GM John Schneider’s right-hand man

Interview both the GM & HC positions Saturday?

[C Mart]

This is a surprise. Wonder if Dennis Thurman stays. He knows the defense almost as good as Rex did.

The coaches will all be gone once the new HC takes over and brings his own coaches aboard.

@jeffzrebiecsun: Gary Kubiak said he's told John Harbaugh they he's not interested in head coaching vacancies right now. Could change if season ends.

@RavensInsider: gary kubiak on wanting to be head coach again 'I had my turn I don't think about what's next I'm really enjoying what I'm doing'

Thanks Gary!!!  I didn't want you anyway

[Jettington]

Everything about the Jets HC and GM search is so uninspiring. Are we really talking about Tom Cable and Gary Kubiak? Are we trying to get better or worse?

 

 

[sourceworx]

I'd wondered if Kubiak wanted to be under all of that pressure again after his health scare last year.

I don't blame him if he's content being a coordinator for now.

agreed, I bet everyone in his family would freak out on him if he interviewed.  I read the type of stroke he had makes another one more likely at some point

[Jetsfan80]

That should not determine who to interview. Belichick was a DC. Now he's known for offense.

 

LOL no he's not, unless you mean he's known for nodding when Tom Brady presents his ideas for what to do.

I agree. Woody needs to make a splash. Cable and some no name GM is not going to cut it. That's going to be one empty stadium. I had Jets sales dept calling begging me to buy season tickets for $50 a pop. I can't imagine what the 2015 deal is going to be. Maybe if you agree to buy a hot dog and a beer they will throw in the tickets and parking LOL

[OuttaSightPF]

Maybe free season tickets to anyone who buys a #7 Smith jersey =)

@BrianCoz: Jets are acting quickly on the GM search. Interviewed Bill Kuharich this morning in NJ, interviewing Trent Kirchner now in Seattle. #nyj

[C Mart]

@BrianCoz: The Jets plan to interview Mike Maccagnan and Rick Mueller on Sunday or Monday, according to a league source. #nyj

[Larz]

3 GM candidates accepted interviews with the jets ?  I guess it's not the worst job in the world afterall

4 + Graves.

mueller is a scout with director of pro personnell experience. 

 

maccagnan is a scout, but only a director of scouting title.  brian gaine is really the guy you want to hire away from the texans.  maccagnan may be a reach

 

kuharich has the best overall background of the 3

 

no capologists here

Mccagnan reviews 2013 Draft

Texans director of college scouting Mike Maccagnan oversees a group of nine scouts – two national scouts, six area scouts and one scout who evaluates college and pro prospects. They started studying the 2013 draft class about three weeks after the 2012 draft, more than 11 months of player evaluations that led to nine draft picks from April 25-27.

Kirchner?

 

lol.  there are so many I forgot one !

 

he is the guy you want, the top of the scouting tree there.  

 

I wonder who crunches numbers for the scout ?  negotiating with agents and constructing solid contracts is very different than watching film

I'd dive back in for that deal.

At this point I need a lap dance from Woodys wife to consider attending a game LOL
