Jetsbb 1,308 #1 Posted January 10, 2020 It is customary for the GM to go on both radio stations at the end of the season. Mike Maccagnan and Tannenbaum went on WFAN after each season was over. I was looking forward with Joe and Evan taking over for Joe Douglas to come on with them. Of course as the new lack of access policy Joe skipped it. Will be interesting as now Joe and Evan take over the afternoons if the Jets will allow them to go down to training camp and interview Gase and Douglas. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriot Killa 21,899 #2 Posted January 10, 2020 JD didn’t sound like he’s in love with talking when I heard him on the Michael Kay show. I just need him to build a nice roster, not really worried about his speaking skills or willingness to do interviews. definitely something I would of liked to hear as a fan though 13 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He comes across much better than Gettleman in interviews. BTW, there is no rule, Douglas gave a mid-season press conference and Gettleman did not. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

y2k8 1,448 #9 Posted January 10, 2020 Gettleman just hired a coach. And they need to sell this unknown to a pissed off fanbase. It was also the first time anyone has seen Gettleman since August. 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides his awful job performance, his embarrassingly bad mid season press conference in 2014 is what got him fired. It had nothing to do with signs or planes with banners. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaver 1,451 #13 Posted January 10, 2020 Even if he went on there, it's not like he is giving away trade secrets. You won't get anything out of the interview. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR24 3,957 #14 Posted January 10, 2020 I care if my GM can draft, acquire good players and structure good contracts. That’s about it I couldn’t care less what interviews he does or doesn’t do besides the media always crushes us anyway regardless of what we do. **** em 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The truth is the Giants are the circus nowadays, not the Jets. Gettleman is a hack who showed up in Carolina after the team was mostly built up by Marty Hurney. Next season the Jets will be in the playoffs and Giants fans will be on the outside looking in and talking about the draft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have extremely high expectations, but I believe in actions not words. A 15 minute "GM speak" interview on a radio station is worthless, particularly in 2020. Years ago when the format was new it meant more, now with all the "hot takes" its pure garbage 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is not nonsense its a look at his psyche. He obviously was afraid to go on with the new afternoon guys Joe and Evan because he knows they have been highly critical of the organization. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
