dpberr Posted November 27 Posted November 27 9 hours ago, SoTier said: You are suggesting a "GM by committee" structure for the FO with the committee being employed by an outside entity. That -- turning corporate control over to employees of another corporation -- doesn't seem a good business model for any enterprise to me, and especially for an NFL team, which involves a relatively small number of employees at the upper levels. Are any NFL franchises currently employing a firm to run their FO? No. The Jets (Johnson) would hire a firm to provide the entirety of the general manager and front office services. The Jets would not have separate front office personnel on their payroll like their own pro personnel executive, analytics, scouts, etc. Quote

He’s too smart to put himself at the helm of a perennial dumpster fire franchise with one of the worst owners in the NFL. Woody brought those guys in to try and give the job some legitimacy because NO ONE is going to the Jets unless you are grabbing a division 2 college coach There are only 32 NFL head coaching jobs in the NFL someone will take the Jets job as think they can make the difference or be back in the game. I agree Johnson should have his options and don't see Jets an ideal fit but money and the media spotlight has enticed many to New Jersey. Yet if he doesn't go am sure there's a list of 4 or 5 NFL coaches that would. Another option could be Brian Flores yet I'd think they'd want to go with an offensive mind see current defensive regime has failed them. Quote

I don't think that's a path that the NFL will go down any time soon if ever. Quote

The whole Aaron Rodgers fiasco was the result of poor decisions made higher up the corporate food chain than HC. Unlike most, I don't believe that Saleh was fired because he wanted to fire his OC, Hackett. I think he was fired because he refused to fire Hackett when others in the organization/on the team wanted to cover their asses by firing the OC. As it turned out, firing Saleh and relieving Hackett of his duties, didn't improve the Jests offense at all. Woody's brother hired Saleh when Woody was in the UK. Quote

I’ve seen companies hire outside firms/consultants for routine administrative tasks, but hiring out strategic/evaluation services seems like a reach. Quote

He isn't going to take 3 or 4 interviews like years past where he has interviewed for jobs he isn't sure he wanted then ended up withdrawing, sometimes when teams were basically about to hire him - see Washington last year. I think that is smart. Continually leaving teams at the altar is not good for your reputation. Ben Johnson doesn't need his "name out there" at this point. He is the hottest thing in a headset.... he should only interview for jobs he is convinced he would take if offered. I somewhat doubt that includes the New York Jets. 10 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Woody's brother hired Saleh when Woody was in the UK. On Joe Douglas's recommendation though.

He’s not HC material. Decent Defensive mind if there’s a stacked D roster. Quote

Decent Defensive mind if there’s a stacked D roster. I think he is a good defensive mind. The Jets D has definitely lost something without him. He didn't get it done as a Head Coach. I suspect he now settles into the career DC mode. Bit Jim Schwartz like. 1 Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted November 29 Posted November 29 (edited) This isn’t good. Ownership is the single most important factor of a team and so many people don’t even realize that. Every person, from GM, to coach, to scout, to concession manager are responsible for carrying out ownership’s vision/goals. I have no idea if Bezos will be good. I know Woody Johnson is a disaster.

You say this isn't good, but then you say you have no idea if Bezos will be good?? I say it may be good for the Jets if Bezos can do for them what Steve Ballmer did for the Clippers.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 29 Posted November 29 Not a sale. A trade. Bezos is offering Blue Origin to Johnson in exchange for the Jets. Woody fits the role of space cadet more than NFL owner. 🤔 Quote
