Popular Post More Cowbell Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 Today is confirmation that this organization is as dysfunctional as ever. I don't care if Mac sucked as a GM, it made absolutely no sense to fire him now. Things were actually taking on the resemblance of a team and front office that seemed to have a plan and was putting it together. Today the Jets ripped all that up. We are once again the most screwed up team in NY from an organization standpoint. If they were going to fire Mac, after he picks a new HC, spends tens of millions in FA, and just completed a draft where he had the #3 selection was not the time. Mac should have been shown the door the day after the season ended. He did nothing to make a case for keeping his job except draft Darnold which he did deserve credit for. Most of the time putting a FQB on your team buys you a year and I think he deserved to see it through for making the moves that landed him but I would not have been shocked if he was canned along with Bowles. Nobody would have, but what happened today is freaking as dysfunctional as anything that ever happened in the NFL. This team is a freaking joke. 17 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SayNoToDMC Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 Complete joke of a franchise, but what's new? Still rather fire him 2 years and a 3 months late than make it 3 years. I could also care less in a year what the cry babies in the media had to say about us in May because they lost their source. Not if things work out. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if things work out. Exactly what makes you think things will work out? We had people in place at the top that at least had defined roles in the things they were brought in to do. As bad as Mac was, he was brought here to be the GM and Gase was brought here to be the HC. Now Gase is the GM and if you think another GM is going to waltz in here thinking he is going to run this team with egomaniac Gase in charge of the team now from top to bottom, think again. We are going to get Idzik 2.0 as a GM. We are screwed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallinPB Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Think about it, at this point if the team is successful this season it would be a good part because of Macc and we just fired him. This is his team for the upcoming season and we fire him now? Sad day for the franchise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not about removing Mac. He deserved to be fired for drafting Hackenberg alone as well as the sring of second round busts. This Is about this team effing up something royally as can be. Something that would have made sense had it been done any other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfine Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The media is just pissed off because they feel lied too and they are peddling the circus narrative. Whether the timing was bad or not, We didn’t fire Ron wolf or Ozzie Newsome. It’s funny that every move the Jets make Is so controversial...even trading a non pro bowl underachieving LB is scrutinized.

Ok, you seriously think this was CJ's plan, to fire Mac after he hired a HC, Spemt like crazy in FA, and drafted the 2019 class? This was all thought out an executed to perfection.

Even a year or two after saying he was much more involved. He does not make the move after last year and now only makes the move after the guy that is so bad he needs to be fired has set the team up for the next few years. No, the op is right on this one. We look stupid and it was stupid. Making Gase essentially belichick after a few months on the job is crazy. Good that mac is done but the timing is purely idiotic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone will lose any sleep for losing a GM in May. Time will tell but I frankly don't care if its late, its done and needed to be done. I don't think Woody would have ever done it, he would have realized his mistake and waited to end of season, I like that Chris acknowledged his mistake, owned it, addressed it and ready to move on now and not even later. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what happens if we do well this year and in particular, the draft picks and FA signings Mac had come up big? Is it still a good decision that we fired him? This is why I feel it was a bad idea to do it now. Just my opinion but you shouldve just kept him to see how everything panned out this season. These are his players we are going to play with this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The disconcerting part is it really is not that tough just to be competent and the jets find that so hard. The owners are totally out of their depth and still want to be involved and call all the shots. Simple and competent: Black Monday fire the coach and GM and we have a lot to offer and look forward to. Simple, logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
