Saxum Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do the scouting job and get fired. Question is were they fired for poor job they did or did they wait until after draft to keep lip on information they knew? The New York Jersey Jets have fired director of pro personnel Brendan Prophett and five members of the scouting department. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/jets-fire-pro-personnel-director-brendan-prophett-5-152014888--nfl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The Jets scouts whose draft scored an "A" from ESPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelsay2sackseason Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 either this was planned, and they kept the group intact until the draft is over for efficiency reasons. or..... something so obvious was overlooked in the draft and the owner found out, injury, or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonechiller Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 well, they did take Petty! most on here would say, that is reason enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is not that uncommon as Eagles also canned a couple scouts after the draft. New guys in charge want their own ppl in place and will now start fresh for next years draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Normal with new GM. They wait until after the draft because the scouts have a lot of important info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Man Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Their draft was arguably, really awesome. This is a total head scratcher in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Normal with new GM. They wait until after the draft because the scouts have a lot of important info. It happened here with Modrak after Buddy's first draft as GM http://articles.philly.com/2011-05-05/sports/29513145_1_tom-modrak-bills-fans-giants-quarterback-phil-simms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Normal with new GM. They wait until after the draft because the scouts have a lot of important info. Yep this. By the time the new GM was hired the scouts had already been working for months, and the scouts the GM wanted still had jobs with other teams.

Malazan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 either this was planned, and they kept the group intact until the draft is over for efficiency reasons. It was this. Nothing that happened at the draft caused them to be fired. You keep the old scouts because there is not enough time for new scouts to do anything.
