Former GMs Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman to lead search for Jets new GM and HC

[Kelly to Allen]

Tannebaum worked with Terry Bradway for a long while.  I would expect his son Mike who works in the Chiefs organization to have a leg up for GM.   I also fully expect they will try hard to go after Ben Johnson who was with Tannenbaum in Miami.    A few other coaches to consider who have worked under Tannenbaum or Speilman; Dennard Wilson, Vance Joseph, Matt Burke, Kevin Stefanski, Brian Daboll, and Klint Kubiak. 

 

That said, none of this matters if they screw up the QB decision again.

I'm guessing nobody prominent wants anything to do with the jets so woody is bringing in tannenbaum because he trusts him as a friend. That's fine I guess 

 

But if he's smart he'll listen to Rick Spielman. A football guy from a great football family and solid resume. He's not perfect and has some misses but he's not a clown. High character guy

 

Id honestly just hire Rick spielman as gm and let him run things if I was in Woody's shoes. 

 

If tannenbaum is in charge or he's making the hire this is going to be a disaster. Tannenbaum should simply be a friend here looking out for Woody's interest and nothing more hopefully.

yeah, heard them talking about this on One Bills Live this afternoon and was cracking up.

I hope the Mike Tannenbaum that I see giving opinions on television isn't the same guy who is helping in this search. I always found his takes really dumb.

People were calling for Pegula to find a football czar when he was looking for GM/HC many wanted Polian to be that guy. I don't blame Woody for getting perspective from guys that have been in league before. Not sure they're the best but at end of day I'd respect their thoughts than Woody alone.

 

I mean if going to go with hot names I think hottest HC candidate is going to be Ben Johnson from Detroit and we could see a team pair him with Ray Agnew, Detroit's assistant GM. Yet if I'm either one of those guys I ditch Rodgers ASAP.

OK, They can end their search, I'll do it.

 

HC - Doug Marrone ... It's his dream job so he'll be great

OC - Nathaniel Hackett ... A A Ron will be happy

DC - Rex Ryan ... It's on baby

QB - Aaron Rodgers ... A new 3 year 150M fully guaranteed contract

Marrone does do well at rebuilding the culture. He's a different version of McD. I think if we would have kept Marrone one more year (and I wasn't opposed) we would have made the playoffs. I didn't want him to coach after we turned the franchise around, I wanted a McVay or Shannahan type.
