Popular Post choon328 Posted May 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2019 Current list of interviews requested: (I stole this list from @Sarge4Tide) Joe Douglas - Eagles Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Fitterer - Seahawks Co-Director of Player Personnel Champ Kelly - Bears Assistant Director of Player Personnel Terry Fontenot - Saints Director of Pro Scouting George Paton - Vikings Assistant General Manager Of those 5 Fontenot, Kelly and Fitterer can all be considered for the Assistant GM role as well bc it would be a promotion for them. People are forgetting that they still need to replace Heimerdinger. Of those 3 I think Fontenot and Fiterrer are more suited to want that job bc they are not as highly touted as Kelly. Although there was some speculation that Kelly might be willing to jump into an Assistant GM job if offered. A team of Douglas and Kelly makes sense bc of their history with Gase and that may be what the Jets are hoping for. Just thought I'd throw that out there. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 While are certainly multiple positions to fill, with these guys all under contract to their current teams, they could still be blocked from taking any other position. There is no general "promotion" rule in the NFL, neither for coaching nor front office positions. It is only specifically head coaching and GM positions that teams are required to allow their lower-level staff to interview for and take. Everything else is basically considered equal by league rules, mostly to keep team's from poaching from each other just by having higher-level titles while essentially doing the same jobs, such as tacking "assistant head coach" onto their title. So just as we've seen position coaches get blocked out from interviewing for coordinator positions, the same can be done for any of these going for an Assistant GM position. Do we not remember the Eagles blocking the Jets' pursuit of DeFilippo 2 years ago? It's all the same thing. Now granted, there are plenty of teams that will allow their staff to pursue positions that are theoretically higher, even if it does not meet the NFL's qualifications, simply as a general courtesy to their staff. However, my only point is it's far from a guarantee, so while no one could blame the Jets if they tried to pull that off, they certainly can't be banking on it either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'd love to steal Fontenot as assistant GM. Champ or Joe Douglas as GM would be fine with me. Both Chicago & the Saints are loaded with young talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdhc Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I would hope that the new gm would pick his own staff not have it hired for him by the Jets. That would be a** backwards and you know the Johnsons would never do something like that, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule is, unless he's in his last year of his contract, they can block taking him away, unless he has total control of the roster. An assistant wouldn't, so my thinking is he still can be blocked.
