UnitedWhofans Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Mehta said on the radio that a GM laughed at the idea of MacCagnan being a GM. Then again, it's Manish Mehta who has no credibility whatsoever and whose paper has been blasted by national media and local media for their treatment of Doug Marrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This will probably reheat the Marrone talk. Jets want second interview with Mike Maccagnan Posted by Josh Alper on January 8, 2015, 9:36 AM EST The Jets added another name to their first round of general manager interviews on Wednesday when they announced that they’d talk to Buccaneers exec Jon Robinson, but it looks like that interview will come after they’ve decided to move to the next step in their hunt for John Idzik’s replacement. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Jets want to have a second interview with Texans director of college scouting Mike Maccagnan. Maccagnan, who initially interviewed early this week, is the first of the six candidates who have been interviewed to be linked with a second meeting with the team. Maccagnan was hired by the Texans in 2000 and worked with the Redskins from 1994 to 1999, so he has a lot of experience working with Jets consultant Charley Casserly. Maccagnan also has worked with coaching candidates Doug Marrone and Gary Kubiak at points during his career. Casserly and owner Woody Johnson have both said that the team would prefer to hire a general manager before a coach and the move to second interviews on the front office side may be a sign that they’ll stick with that plan.

Maccagnan also is friendly with former Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone. He signed Marrone to a contract with the London Monarchs of the World League in 1991, and three years later he hired Marrone as a scouting intern for the Ottawa Rough Riders of the CFL."

jetrider Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Maccagnan was hired by the Texans in 2000 and worked with the Redskins from 1994 to 1999, so he has a lot of experience working with Jets consultant Charley Casserly. Maccagnan also has worked with coaching candidates Doug Marrone and Gary Kubiak at points during his career. That's quite a collection of suckitude. Beat guys saying he's known as a very sharp talent evaluator but is quiet / withdrawn Jets need an experienced hardball GM that can muscle trades and hustle agents. Those guys with scouting credentials are in their own scouting worlds. This sounds like a Casserly manipulation. Maybe he gets a nice kickback if his boy is hired. "It comes as no surprise that Maccagnan has emerged from the field, considering his close ties to Jets consultant Charley Casserly. Maccagnan received his first NFL job from Casserly, who hired him as a scout with the Washington Redskins. When Casserly became the Texans' general manager in 2000, one of his first hires was Maccagnan. Maccagnan, a native of Hightstown, New Jersey, has been the Texans' scouting director since 2012 -- the year after they drafted defensive star J.J. Watt. Houston's past three drafts have been underwhelming. In fact, the past two have produced only two starters. He has been described as quiet and unassuming, with some league sources wondering if he's equipped to handle the glare of the New York spotlight. Maccagnan has ties to two of the Jets' head-coaching candidates, and that could be a factor as the team prepares to begin the second stage of the selection process. He's most familiar with Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, the Texans' coach from 2006 to 2013. Maccagnan also is friendly with former Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone. He signed Marrone to a contract with the London Monarchs of the World League in 1991, and three years later he hired Marrone as a scouting intern for the Ottawa Rough Riders of the CFL." And there's Kubiak and Marrone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important requirement for the job, IMHO, is an ability to identify and evaluate talent. Having a strong sense of how good a player is, and what his relative worth is. He can hire a henchman to hardball, muscle, and hustle based on those evaluations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Idzik Well it's a good thing his demeanor isn't making the draft selections. I mean Christ, one cut his teeth as a scout and the other on the business side. The guy could be a raging Sean Avery type douchebag for all I care, so long as he is good at his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If there is anything about him that might be close to similar to Idzik, we must move on. In fact, obese, loud, black women are really where we should be looking.

But who would that be that could handle owners and GMs? Make Maccagnan a personnel director or scouting director if that's where he excels. I'd hate to stay put at #6 and suffer another year of Geno. Lovie wants Winston in TB. We still have a slim shot at the Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
