Potential GM hire

[MBGreen]

Optics aren't even the biggest of concerns, it means we're being closed minded when making important decisions.

You have a process in place, you go out and get the best guy for the job. You don't jump into things with your mind made up and decisions predetermined

The Jets will interview a few candidates.  But i'm convinced it's Joe Douglas's job if he wants it.

I'm not worried about optics either, if it lands us a competent GM.

if you put aside SOJ nonsense and adam gase hate, the next GM is walking into a dream job

his job from now until next year's FA is to be a roster manager.  or to execute gase's roster management.  it's barely a real job.

all the hard parts are done.  either the Jets are going to be good and the new GM's job next year will be to round out an already competitive roster while still having a lot of cap flexibility, or the Jets are going to be mediocre and he'll pretty much be doing the same thing except with a built in fall guy for the 2019-20 struggles, and then get the glory for whatever happens in Darnold's year 3

it's at least 2 years security for a job that barely requires doing.

Or you could say it's a dysfunctional organization that chews through GMS and HCs. You'll have some bizarre inept reporting structure and you don't even get to pick your own HC.

Yeah it's great to have Darnold and basically be off the hook for this season. But there's a lot of current major issues

LaCanfora's take.  Which shouldn't be held in high regard, because he's a clown.  But some of the article is interesting (if true).

No one is calling that fat, lazy eyed slob for advice on hiring a GM.

I'm not a fan of his.  But he was one of the first to report there were issues between Gase and Duff at the draft. 

There isn't much going on this time of year, so i don't mind reading excrement like this on a slow work day.

This comment has upset me so much that I'm considering taking one of my five weeks of paid vacation to recover.

Isn't that a normal amount of vacation time for people with real jobs?

It is in civilised countries, but not in the US.

You get five weeks a year?

[dcm1602]

You get five weeks a year?

I started off with 4 weeks and 4 days a year (4.8 weeks) which increases by like 2 hours a year or some excrement

[MBGreen]

You get five weeks a year?

in Manitoba, you typically start with 3 weeks.  Unless you're a govt schlep like myself, then you start with 4 weeks.

According to Florio, Scott Fitterer (Seahawks) will be interviewed later this week.

Don't know much about him.  I still prefer Joe Douglas.

He has a excrement name
