DoubleDown Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There is no inside info here, it's all speculation. These "experts" know little more than regular fans, and they are often wrong. Just last week, ESPN and Mortensen were reporting that Mangini is "safe" to keep his job. They were on the money with that one. Cowher is going to meet with the Jets, go over his options, and make a decision with his family. To draw a conclusion one way or the other at this point is dumb.

Bravejamriot Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Tanny deferred to Mangini on a lot of player decisions. He isn't a football guy he's a cap guy. The new coach could have a lot of say in the players on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joiseyjet Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 If Woody really wants him, buh bye Tanny. They don`t have to get rid of Tann. Just promote him to Pres. (which I don`t think they hired a new one since Jay Cross was fired ) and give Cowher the GM role also.....And I would let Cowher make his Draft Picks his first year the pother years Draft picks would be tied directly to his record 10 wins gets you picking from 3rd round down 4th,5th,6th....11 wins & higher and you get to pick the 2nd rounder win the Div. and you pick them all in the second year ....

JMJ Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Only the Jets could lose out on Cowher because of this garbage GM. Tanny is a great GM. Mangini was fired because Tanny did his job SO WELL and Mangini couldn't do anything with Tanny's gifts. He got a team in cap hell below the cap while adding players such as Thomas Jones, Alan Faneca, Damien Woody, Tony Richardson, Calvin Pace, and Brett Favre all in the past 2 seasons. So in other words, he took a team in cap hell, added a handful of Pro Bowlers (while drafting some very good players in Brick, Mangold, Leon, Harris, and Revis), and has us in a better cap situation than when he started. He also proved he only cares about doing what is best for the franchise in firing a lame duck coach who he obviously is very good friends with despite it obviously being VERY HARD for him to do because it was what was necessary at the time for the betterment of the team as a whole. How you (or anyone) can hate Tanny is unfathomable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing out on Cowher because of the ****ing accountant is a travesty. Something 31 other GMs, with money would have loved to do if Tanny didn't do it better. I'm sure the Jets were the only team that wanted Faneca, the only team that wanted Pace, the only team that wanted Woody, the only team that wanted Richardson, the only team that wanted Favre, etc, etc. Tanny beat them all. And if you try and say that all he did was offer more money than the others (which isn't true), it is still a testament to him being a great GM by having the team in a position that he COULD offer more money for "no brainer FA's" than other teams could. And not just one or two of them, but FIVE of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 say what you will about Tannenbaum, no man can do the job of GM and HC in the NFL at the same time. There aren't enough hours in the day. Woody is right about that. If that's part of Cowher's terms, he can stay on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
