@alexmarvez: Source tells @NFLonFOX there's a good chance fired @ChicagoBears college scouting director Marty Barrett lands with @nyjets front office

@KMart_LI: #Jets looking to retool scouting dept. Wouldn't be surprised if they brought in more ppl w/ front-office connections from Texans/Rams/Bears

Knicks still have the same lackeys running around MSG. Nothing has really changed there.

 

And now Isiah is back at MSG lol

interesting that Macc unloaded the Director of Pro Personnel as well.   Really has very little to do with the draft and college scouting - this is a total house cleaning.   

 

It's great to see this finally happening after all these years.  And, to think, Maccagnan had this great draft he just had with the help of the people who have been hampering this franchise for years.  Can't wait to see what he's able to accomplish once he's completely surrounded by his own team.

Mike Maccagnan's shakeup of the Jets' scouting department reportedly continues to move forward.

Word got out Monday that Maccagnan, the Jets' general manager, had fired director of pro personnel Brendan Prophett, plus five scouts. Such moves are common just after the NFL Draft for first-year GMs. Bears GM Ryan Pace made a similar move on Tuesday by not renewing the contract of Marty Barrett, the team's director of college scouting, according to the Chicago Tribune.

And while it's certainly not a done deal, but Barrett already appears to be headed to the Jets, according to Alex Marvez of Fox Sports:

There's an obvious connection here: Barrett had spent 18 years with the Bears, the last three as their director of college scouting. And one of Maccagnan's first hires back in January was Rex Hogan, whose official title with the Jets is senior director of college scouting. Hogan had been a Bears scout for nearly a dozen years.

If Barrett were to be hired, it's not clear exactly what sort of role he would have with the Jets.

A native of Amherst, N.Y., Barrett had been a Bears scout since 1997. Before that, he spent three years as a scout for the Saints. In both roles, his responsibilities included the west coast. Prior to that, Barrett was at Rutgers as the assistant to the athletics director/football operations, plus as spell as a graduate assistant/defensive backs for the Scarlet Knights.

Barrett began his career as an assistant coach at a number of small colleges, including his alma mater, the University at Buffalo, where he set 14 school records as a quarterback and was later inducted into the university's Hall of Fame.
