Ian Rappaport don't discount Scott Fitterer he was incredibly impressive in the interview.

[Jetsbb]

 

[Nixhead]

Scotty Fitt! If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit! I don't want the Jets hiring this piece of Sh*T! Im just kidding about calling him a piece of SH*T but too many nicknames and rhymes go with this guys name to hire him. You guys will have a field day when he makes a bad move. Still a NO on Fitt!

[32EBoozer]

no thanks... I’ve moved on from Seattle executives 

[varjet]

I have been wanting the Jets to play Ravens football for 10 years.  That was early Rex. 

Stay the course with Douglas. 

[NYJ1]

I don't care. If Fitterer is the best man for the job, then he should get the job even against Gase's wishes. However, I haven't seen the Seahawks drafting all too well in recent years? Twitterer should have a real live body of work demonstrating his ability to project players on an NFL field. Otherwise, go with the guy that can prove his past success.

[jack48]

you dont hire a guy based on an interview. You base it on body of work. You interview to get a feel for the guy, to see if you want to be in the same room with him on a regular basis

What body of work? None of these guys have a track record. None have had final say over players their organizations signed or drafted. This is all on interview, philosophy, and recommendations.

[LinemanCT]

Did Christopher Johnson like the way Fitterer held his fork maybe it was the napkin on his lap... I mean wtf just hire Douglas already 

[MDL_JET]

Lol yay we hate him already. He’s def the guy! Welcome to the Jets!

[sourceworx]

I think Cimini reported last week that Fitterer and Gase hit it off throughout the scouting process leading up to the draft.

maybe the guy had a nice bulge. chris johnson seems like a guy who likes a guy with a nice package......his favorite move is labyrinth

[JohnnyLV]

FWIW Mark Dominic thinks he is the second best of our candidates behind Douglas who he thinks will not take the job.

[Ghost]

I honestly don’t want anyone from the Seahawks. Gives me ******* nightmares. 

+ that entire team neglected the offensive line for the Seahawks. Just sign Joe Douglas

I don’t know who Mark Dominic is but he thinks Douglas will NOT accept? 

[TuscanyTile2]

Are we playing up this Seattle guy because Joe Douglas is going to turn us down and we can pretend we liked Fitterer betterer?

Then why would Joe interview? Such a waste of everyone’s time.

Mark Dominic is the ex-bucs GM who straight up hates the Jets probably because he got taken on the Revis trade 

[Matt39]

Aka the cheapest hire

I think I was being dramatic.  I really just wanted to use "Fitterer betterer" in a sentence.

Taken on the Revis trade by Idzik no less.  Too bad he turned those pics into Sheldon in 2013 and Jalen f'in Saunders in 2014

If you are not going to take the job, why interview in the first place?  Should have just pulled a Paton and declined.  Whoever Marc Dominic is.  That's a pretty silly thing to say.

Yeah I don't want another GM that can't draft OL.  Seahawks have been awful at it.

[RobR]

Within a week he'll be reporting, "As expected Douglas is the new Jets GM".

[Sarge4Tide]

There's very little info on Fitterer out on the web ....by far the least of any of the 4 rumored candidates .  Even on the Seahawks website there's nothing.  He obviously keeps a low profile either by  natural predisposition or organizational policy

Why interview for it then? Just to say you got an interview for a GM position? 

[New York Mick]

How does he know how he did in the interview?

that is why he interviewed

[GreenFish]

WTF. I take a break from the Jets for about 24hrs and then the team tries to stab my guy in the back! I'm done with this team.

Now that I think about it, Fitterer has the makings of a top executive. Alright...I"m back. Let's go.

He don't.

 

[HawkeyeJet]

The actual interview doesn't sound as negative for Douglas as it's being made to be, in my opinion.  All it really says is that Fitterer will "be there in the end" with Douglas.

 

[GreenFish]

Mark Dominik weighs in on Jets GM search. Talks a little bit about Fitterer and talks about the appeal of the Jets GM position.
