jgb Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Article insinuates that the Jets had two different finalists, but due to Macc running a Mickey Mouse search, they were forced to settle on Gase who "somehow emerged" at the end of the process. The irony is almost too delicious for this to be true. Is this why Jets fired Mike Maccagnan? Here's what reportedly happened during their recent coach search The New York Jets made an abrupt change in leadership on Wednesday by axing general manager Mike Maccagnan just three weeks after the 2019 NFL Draft, and while the team has a long history of confusing decisions, this one remains a head-scratcher. That's because Maccagnan is only a few months removed from overseeing a spending spree -- of almost $200 million -- to restock the Jets for Year Two of the Sam Darnold era. Joining Will Brinson on the Thursday edition of the Pick Six Podcast, Andrew Perloff of The Dan Patrick Show shared one of the potentially big reasons Maccagnan has been ousted in favor of more power for new coach Adam Gase -- and it has to do with the way Maccagnan went about hiring Gase in the first place. "That coaching search, both from what I've heard inside and the outside, was a mess," Perloff said. "There were basically two candidates at the end, and Adam Gase somehow emerged. From everything I've heard, it was not well run or well organized by Maccagnan. So I think that might've played into it." Not only that, Perloff continued, but it was apparent early in the offseason that it was "kind of a weird marriage" between Gase, "this sort of hardcore, disciplinarian coach" and the type of big-name free agents that Maccagnan paid -- guys like Le'Veon Bell, who landed a big-money deal but didn't attend early voluntary workouts. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/is-this-why-jets-fired-mike-maccagnan-heres-what-reportedly-happened-during-their-recent-coach-search/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villain The Foe Posted May 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2019 There could be validity to this. It wasnt like Gase was the top guy. I heard that Macc originally wanted Matt Rhule as the HC with Gase and Williams as the coordinators. It seems like Gase became the coach out of desperation given that they didnt get their top guys originally for the job which included Ruhle, Kingsbury and Todd Monkin. I heard that most of these guys didnt take the job because they wanted to hire their own staff and either Macc or Macc/Chris wasnt allowing it. Gase wasnt even a consideration, and he's gone from being a desperate hire to running the entire ship. I've never seen anything like this in my life. This just reminds me back when folks were laughing at the Browns after Haley was trying to undermine Hue Jackson. Well, Order was established because their is a compartmentalized hierarchy that John Dorsey made sure to maintain when the shenanigans were occurring, and he righted that ship quickly. Chris Johnson basically allowed a new HC that's been on the scene for 15 minutes force out your GM that he claimed to have "loved his direction and leadership" just a couple months prior. This is why at the end of the 2017 season heading into the 2018 offseason Macc and Bowles should have been fired there. Look at all of this dysfunction that is around Sam Darnold now. Whatever GM we get, he's going to have to be fully on board with whatever Gase wants to do. This is completely backwards. Furthermore, Gase will not be answering to the GM, it'll probably be the "partnership" nonsense that never works. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least (presumably) if Gase sucks he will be exposed quickly and booted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Order was established because their is a compartmentalized hierarchy that John Dorsey made sure to maintain when the shenanigans were occurring, and he righted that ship quickly Please. Let's not hold the Brown's up as some kind of model of stability and success. Need I remind you of their string of "successes" over the course of the last 10 years. They're 31st in the league. Only the Rams have lost more games. Our beloved Jets aren't nearly as bad, ranked 21st. Explain that one to me. Now, they've pretty much filled their roster with a who's who of every overhyped underachievers from the past couple years who's worked his way off their former teams, but managed to avoid suspension or prison. The balance is a group of top draft choices garnered from having the perenially worst record in the league. Congratulations. This cast of characters has been handed over to a lifetime assistant, who inherited the position based on short term "success" and a popularity contest, judged by your wunderkind quarterback. They've won no Super Bowls. They've not won any playoff games. To date they've done nothing but be touted as the latest "flavor of the month" by the mob. We'll see how well this works out. Already, "Osmell Beckam Jr." appears to be stirring the pot with his no show at this weeks "team activities" and his comments about his non-attendance. Freddy Kitchens is already "dancing". Maybe it's a sign of things to come. Maybe, not. Have fun...……. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GreenFish Posted May 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2019 This feels like a reach. It seemed like CJ was running the show. Manning called CJ not Macc.

And we've got a team built by an idiot and a coach hired by an idiot. And you're content to settle for one less idiot like we actually won a game or something. Set the bar lower, seriously.
