We still have key positions with glaring holes. 10-6 would be great but 8-8 wouldn’t be bad considering how horrible we were. Would you agree that 8-8 is fair/realistic and a sign of progress or would turn on Gase if it’s anything less than 10-6? Just curious and I’m curious how fair people will be given this first year under Gase. 10-6 can’t also be the expectation because pretty much every new Jets Coach accomplishes that their first year. That’s just a bizarre coincidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are unhappy about is our owner is a moron who let Mac preside over the most important off offseason in decades and after that job was done, fired him. Why? Why let him set up the team for probably the next 3 years and then fire him? Mac didn't control anything. Chris Johnson signed off on everything he did. Most likely because he knew he was canning him after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that's been coming out the last few days is that Mac is very indecisive, which kind of makes sense. I think the Jets had an offer (or two) to move down, but Mac couldn't make up his mind. As time ran out while they were up to make their pick, he panicked and just defaulted to BPA. And I think that sealed his fate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 20 hours ago, JoeWillieWhiteShoesHOF said: Great post. Yeah, I just don’t get it. I have been a Jet fan for decades and I have NEVER felt more uncomfortable with a Jet GM on a day to day basis, than Maccagnan . I have NEVER felt more uncomfortable than with the last so-called Head Coach, and that includes Lou Holtz, who I’d take any day over Bowles, because at least you’d get some laughs to go with the losing. But most importantly Holtz would never punt in the opponents territory 2 scores down with 5 minutes left in the 4th Qtr. Holtz would never kick a FG in the 4th Qtr so he could say “See we lost 30-3 and now my resume won’t include what might have been a shut out”. Maccagnan and Bowles entire tenure can be seen as huge incompetency coupled with pure cowardice in trying to protect the jobs that deep down they KNEW they didn’t deserve. The mind numbing just pure stupidity and blatant incompetence of both Maccagnan and Bowles was just too much to take for any Jet fan who has been around longer than a few years. Sure, Adam Gase is a pure back stabber, but you know that might translate into lots of wins on the football field now that he has one of the top young talents in the league at QB. Gase is still the same coach who was 11-0 with a healthy Ryan Tannehill. As far as Maccagnan goes. Put a mannequin in his chair holding a cup of Starbucks, set a computer to “Robopick” on draft day....and you are Ions ahead of where you would be with that idiot in the job. For those crying about his firing, for some reason that I’ll never understand. The guy STILL doesn’t know what an Oline is....5 YEARS LATER. One of the greatest days in Jet history...finally firing the second half of what very well could be the worst “GM”/“HC” pairing in NFL history. And lastly, I’ll say it again, if Gase is just “middle of the pack good”....Jets are winning 10 games this year and getting a Wildcard berth. Believe he likes Dunkin Donuts, but otherwise, correct. Last month in the late rounds he was taking special teams players and a Rutgers corner with knees so bad he will start the season on the PUP list rather than simply taking servicable OL guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, unreal. He also moved down in the 4th so he could move up in the 5th. That “logic” really fails me. I think in many other industries the Johnson’s would be able to actually sue a guy like Maccagnan based on him being hired because of misrepresentation. I saw a clip from Colin Cowherd’s show last night and he was saying that basically no one in the league barely knew this guy even 4 years later, he had virtually no contacts to help wheel and deal like virtually ALL GMs have. Another rumor is he locked himself in his office and would just watch college tape, the rest of the Front Office had no vision of where he wanted the team to go because the guy was not only never around for them, but he never even articulated it. I totally believe that, since you try to make ANY kind of sense of the roster he “built” it looks like someone just throwing sh*t against a wall...”Oline? What’s that? Let me draft another Safety or an old D Tackle from a school no one ever heard of in Canada”. The Jets were paying this moron GMs wages but he just said “f**k it, I’ll do what I’ve always done...watch tape” haha. Then he delegated virtually ALL of a GMs duties to baby Heimerdinger hahaha. I swear I really want to hear more and more about Maccagnan, because not only was it as bad as I thought it was, it seems it actually was much much worse. And lastly, and this is the worst rumor of all, he was supposedly about to be fired by Houston when his mentor Casserly stepped in, vouched for him, and got him upped to a GM position with our NY Jets...that’s hands down the real villain here, Casserly. Maccagnan can’t help that he’s an Idiot, that’s just how he was born. Also, I read awhile back that Woody Johnson begged Mike Holmgren to come in and take over the whole ship and that Holmgren’s wife nixed it. So Woody deserves a little slack. He tried. Just a horrible confluence of events that swirled and dumped the pair Maccagnan AND Bowles (Worst “GM” in the league AND Worsf “HC”..how is that even possible, statistically, at the same time? Haha) on the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
