C Mart Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Someone should merge some of the Mccagnan threads. Basically same titles. For those concerned @BrianCoz: Heard that Ron Wolf took the lead in the Maccagnan 1st interview since Casserly knows him so well and came away very impressed. #nyj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Again, everyone has to start somewhere. If he is hired than he's my guy and I'll back him. Maybe he becomes a legend. Just not my 1st choice. Honestly I would have no issue with him if I wasn't skeptical about Casserly wanting to see his piss boy getting a shot. Casserly has nothing to lose in this whole scenario. That is what worries me. Reportedly per Brian Costello, Wolf conducted the interview and was very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Half the fan base is already against this guy because their prerequisites for a GM are extremely skewed. It begs the question, why are there these cap/contract guru types in NFL franchise? If all these GMs and other scouting exec types have this innate skill, why do all of them have a specialist that does the majority of it for him? In positions like this, it's just as much about whether he knows how to successfully delegate and identify other capable people to surround himself with. Idzik couldn't do those things. Rex couldn't either for that matter. That's why they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Why? Just because of Title? no ! he is the third banana. the team he works for doesn't think he is GM material. If they did, they would have promoted him the way green bay did with wolf's kid to keep him happy and off the market. He may be the best GM ever, but I just am very leary of this candidate, it seems like they jets are settling for friends of charlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 you are not wrong. if everything goes well and he comes in and hits homerun after homerun personnel wise he won't have to deal with issues from the NY media. But, how often does that happen in the NFL? The Ravens are an elite pro sports franchise. Did Ray Rice give them some PR issues this year??? The Seahawks are defending world champs and their front office and coaches have built an amazing team. Did the whole Percy Harvin debacle cause them some problems? In the biggest media market in the league, media savvy is a requirement. Frankly it's why I gave up on Idzik. That mid-season press conference was what did him in. I agree, it shouldn't matter but it does. How often do you hear from Jerry Reese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's so simple and easy. And I thought running an NFL team was complex.

His own team can't see it, but he kept old man wolf awake long enough to be impressed. #SOJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The media savvy thing is a weird complaint.

Ken Schroy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Dan Quinn favorite to land Jets coaching job: sources By Brian Costello January 9, 2015 | 7:09pm The Jets are getting closer to hiring a new general manager, but the search for a head coach could last a while. Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has emerged as the favorite to land the head coaching job, according to league sources. But the Jets must wait until after the Seahawks season ends before offering him the job. That could be Feb. 2 if the Seahawks make a return trip to the Super Bowl. The Seahawks face the Panthers on Saturday in the divisional round. The Jets interviewed Texans scouting director Mike Maccagnan for a second time on Friday for their general manager opening, according to sources. He is the only GM candidate to have been asked for a second interview and is viewed as the favorite to land the job, perhaps as soon as this weekend. Owner Woody Johnson had dinner with Maccagnan on Friday night, a sign there is serious interest. Many people viewed former Bills coach Doug Marrone as the favorite to be Rex Ryan’s replacement, particularly if Maccagnan became the GM. The two have known each other for 25 years. But a source said Marrone is not one of the top candidates for the head coaching job. Even if Maccagnan is named GM, it seems unlikely at this point that Marrone will become the coach. A source said Quinn, Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and Seahawks assistant head coach/offensive line Tom Cable are the top candidates. A league source said those three had the best interviews with the Jets out of the six candidates who have interviewed so far. Marrone was seen as the front-runner for the job after opting out of his contract with the Bills on Dec. 31. The Jets acted quickly to line up an interview and brought him in three days later. The consultants leading the search with Johnson – Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf – were both very high on Marrone, but Johnson was not equally enthused about Marrone. Two sources said that Marrone did not bomb the interview as has been reported, but Johnson was committed to letting the process play out and did not want to hire anyone quickly. As he interviewed candidates, Marrone was not at the top of his list. All searches are fluid processes, so it is possible Johnson could change his mind on Marrone, but that does not sound likely. Johnson does want to speak to Quinn again. The team interviewed him on Jan. 1 in Seattle, but cannot talk to him again until the Seahawks lose or the bye week before the Super Bowl if Seattle wins the NFC championship. If the latter is the case, the Seahawks also would have to grant permission for the Jets to talk to him. Quinn, 44, has been the Seahawks defensive coordinator for two seasons. A Morristown, N.J. native, Quinn was the defensive coordinator at the University of Florida in 2011-12. He has experience with the Jets, having served as the team’s defensive line coach under Eric Mangini in 2007-08. The Jets may have competition for Quinn. Besides the Jets, Quinn also has interviewed with the 49ers, Falcons, Bills and Bears. The main question with Quinn seems to be the timeline, not his credentials. Will teams be willing to wait until after the Super Bowl to hire their head coach and then assemble a coaching staff if the Seahawks make it that far? Fellow Seahawks assistant Cable also impressed the Jets in his interview on Jan. 2. Cable, 50, has head coaching experience, having coached the Raiders from 2008-10, going 17-27 there. He also spent three years as the head coach at the University of Idaho, where he went 11-35. Cable has been accused of domestic violence by multiple women and also allegedly broke the jaw of one of his assistants in Oakland. Bowles, 51, interviewed with the Jets on Wednesday after helping the Cardinals make the playoffs where they lost in the first round last weekend to the Panthers. Bowles, from Elizabeth, N.J., is another hot coaching candidate after leading a defense that was 5th in scoring. He interviewed with the Bears on Thursday and reportedly will talk to the Falcons on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patman Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Being able to handle the media is a concern- you need that along with being a good talent evaluator Why? you just don't talk to them. The GM unlike the coach has to address the media once a year. Are you concerned that he is not a great public speaker Like BB. As long as he does not say stupid like like "I would have signed Revis for that money and want him back on the jets" You don't tell any of them nothing and you don't respond to anything that they say, and your OK, if you tell one of them something the rest want some too, if they don't get it they get catty like girls. As long as he does not play favorites to get his message out, the media goes back into their hole. The GM can be interviewed by members of the jets Web news crap and communicate with the fans that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article makes zero sense, on one hand Maccagnan is the favorite and it says that he wants Marrone but that the jets team wants Quinn. That is going back to the Idzik/Ryan thing. What if Quinn decides to go somewhere else and Morrone is also off the board, then neither side gets the guy they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
