NFL: Jets fire GM Mike Maccagnan and VP of Player Personnel

[GKJ]

Jay Glazer is having a bonkers off-season

Seriously...I am not a fan of the pay the RB philosophy either but who the **** else were the Jets going to use that money on the next couple years? Might as freaking well if you're the Jets.

And I've never heard of a head coach being worried about money concerns before. The guy's got a Napoleon complex.

Coaches leave the money situation to the GM. They want talent but Gase is playing the long game here I guess.

Gase pulling a Chip Kelly I see.

This ALWAYS ends well

Redskins firing McCloughan a few weeks before the draft finds this timing odd

Another victim of an internal power struggle.

I was just told by a friend who works for a network in Boston he supposedly had some sort of out of work incident last year as well. Ownership wanted to fire him right then and there but decided not to. It then evidently occurred again this winter which FWIW ownership supposedly didn’t find out about til last week or the week before. I have to assume it’s DWI or domestic in nature if this is true

Kills me how these billion dollar organizations with essentially unlimited money never find out about these events. IMO its worth it to have a PI/former law enforcement guy with connections on your payroll for stuff like this. Get ahead of the headlines/rumors.

Jay Glazer is having a bonkers off-season

Lets see how he performs on Ballers first before we make that claim

Jets fans need to stop giving this team money.

How will this affect the Jets on the field?

Is THIS the year they overtake the Patriots?

Jay Glazer is having a bonkers off-season

Glazer is one of the best insiders there is so that's not surprising.

Him and Mike Lombardi get bows for breaking the story, while our useless beat writers didn't know jack.

Jets trade Darron Lee, 2016 first-round pick, to Chiefs for sixth-round pick, per reports

Took him what, 48 hours to make a trade?

This didnt work out in Miami and Jets fans better hope they hire a GM.

It turns out that maybe hiring the guy who was Peyton Manning's position coach was probably bad. Again.

 

[NJDevs26]

Joe and Evan was better, especially since this happened in real time while they were on the air



And a mini off air rant on top of it lol

So Gase did not want Bell because that money shouldn't be spent on a running back..and CJ Mosely pick up was again, money issues..

This should go over well in the locker room..

This is just speculation.

When it comes to Jets related stuff, Joe and Evan are always better since they're actual Jet fans. Plus, Benigno is crazy

 

[GKJ]

Jets meeting with Joe Douglas tonight. He is the favorite. But I don’t know if he’ll take it without final say, nor should he. Saints director of scouting and someone from Seattle also in the mix.

 

[Hasbro]

Gase was on the Broncos staff when McDaniels pulled this maneuver, which should give you an idea how quick on the uptake he is.

 

[Baxterman]

Has there been any reasonable explanation on why they did this when they did? Other than Gase being a snake in the grass and forcing him out?

I mean I support them firing Maccagnan but it should have been done before the draft and off-season and certainly before hiring Gase.

Sports hirings always are a little odd to me but NFL at times is the most perplexing as it seems like some of the worst guys are given the most rope based on nothing, ie Gase, Garrett, Kingsbury, Taylor, La Fleur. I guess it is because it seems in football owners have/want more input than other sports but there just seems to be more bad coaches, that are obviously bad coaches, not only hired but then kept too long and given too much control than in any other sport.
