Butterfield Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 They wouldn’t be wrong by telling him that. Would you go to an organization like the jets if you could make just as much money and stay with a well run machine, with more stability and less scrutiny? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares? Is the courtroom and jail still in the basement of the stadium like no other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scott Dierking Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 You know what attracts me to work in an organization? -A clear plan of how we move forward as a leadership team. -A clear hierarchy and reporting structure. -Minimal meddling from those that do not understand the verticals of the business. Do the Jets offer this? 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Philly is trying to keep a good personnel guy on the payroll? Thats funny on what level? Painting us as a "sh-tshow." If they wanted him to stay with more money, that would be one thing.

NYJ1 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Honestly, I don't know why everyone is wanting to bribe Douglas? He is a good candidate, but it looks to me as if Gase is shooting for control hence hiring a stiff that's nothing more than a face? Everyone is nervous right now, I'd imagine? I feel a little nervous myself. I know when stuff like this happens the uncertainty gets people worried? But honestly there's no need to be? The Jets have some excellent players in place. They still have almost 40 million under the cap and two young franchise type players in Adams and Darnold. A GM candidate would never get so lucky to have a roster like that for their first gig.

And of course, we hate ourselves so we assume that they'll try and save a few bucks low balling him? Based on? Maybe they could just point a finger their own way. This is a Philly team that hired Kelly a few years back after scape goating Andy Reid. Kelly then forced his GM ou of the way, wanted total control over personnel moves and got it. Took a team that was poised to win into the toilet. That kind of shlt show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norm428 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Have we even asked for permission to talk to him? Can't hire him until we get permission and then there's that Rooney Rule thing. Hope this doesn't drag out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Reid did not get scapegoated. He earned his way out of town and worn out his welcome. Ownership screwed up by falling in love with Chip Kelly. They corrected that and let the adults manage football. Something the jets have been unable to fathom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be wrapping this up quick if they want to get it done. It’s not hard for someone to second guess coming into this $hitshow of an org. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app NOT a circus or any other derogatory word you want to use...Why? Because the Jets now have GOT THE QB. Why Mike McCarthy was begging to come to NY. He never would have, pre-Darnold. NY is the pinnacle. If the guy wants to stay in that little sh*thole of a city called Philadelphia be my guest. Someone else will own the glory as Darnold leads many many deep play off runs over the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the Jets couldn't have a replacement named immediately upon Macc's firing was that they needed to, at the very least, interview one minority candidate. For all we know, Douglas already has bags packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Organizations can change, if they want to: The Browns appear to have corrected their course, giving Dorsey more control and Haslam restraining himself. The Pegulas in Buffalo seem to be letting Beane and McDermott work together. They will surprise people. The Rams were a mess, and now seem to be on the right track. Snyder and the Redskins are what they are. The Giants were considered among the Class of the NFL, and now are no longer. The Johnsons can fix this, or make it alot better, if they admit their problem and make change. I am not optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring someone with an acumen for managing NFL personnel managers. Like say a VP of Personnel? It is ok for the Johnson's to admit they have no idea how to run a front office NFL organization. Hire people that do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say for the sake of argument that Joe has the right kind of stuff to be a successful GM. It doesn’t matter if this place is a mess. That’s the nature of the work. They’re hiring you to come in and fix it. Shouldn’t scare away a competent candidate unless they thought they weren’t going to be allowed to do their thing - which in this case, I think Ownership is saying the opposite. Here’s the keys.

CTM Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 1 hour ago, FidelioJet said: No, I think the concern is that the Jets seemed to have made they fired Mac with a clear plan. On the surface it made this move more palatable to me - They had JD basically locked up. But if it turns the guy they thought they had locked up as part of this plan - stays in Philly. It just shows the further disfunction of this organization. That ship has sailed, you just fired a boob after letting him run the most important offseason in quite some time. If Darnold ends up working out, we have what 3 seasons of him being cheap? Its going to take 2 years before Macs paw prints arent heavily all over this roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
