Mike McCartney ‏@MikeMcCartney7
I've spoken with too many personnel guys who would relish the #Jets GM job. I'm not buying recent reports nobody wants it.


FYI: McCartney is a Former #NFL Pro Scouting Director.

But...but...that goes against everything the geniuses around here have been saying? :confused:

Logic and critical thinking isn't the strong suit of many around here.

But SAR I says differently. Who are you gonna believe?

I'll take the words of professional well known NFL personnel guy any day over any forum troll thank you.

and Jake Steinberg, a college student who wants to be an agent, tweeted that the search is "a mess" last week.

So I'm going to ignore what McCartney says he's been told directly from people who actually work in the field in favor of a tweet by a college student.

Let's see:

- Biggest market and stage in the world
- An owner that is willing to open up his wallet


Yes, why in the world would any respectable GM candidate want to come here? :rolleyes:

A chance to be an NFL GM, with a top flight search firm running the search, and we're expected to believe via Glazer that no one will take the job? Laughable.

I have no idea who to believe. Just posting the article.

SAR 1
 

You mean SAR 1 really doesn't know diddly squat...............I thought so

Could there be folks who think they might land a better job next year and walk away from this opportunity? Sure.

But Glazer's quote - "can't give job away" - is a joke. A GM job's not like a 1981 Betamax tape of Logan's Run. :rolleyes:

Believe the scout
 

Every candidate who agreed to an interview,wanted the job, except for Caldwell,who always intended to go to the Jaguars. Heckert was the only one who declined.

BTW, could someone please explain why Woody, Glat and the firm should worry at all about a person who turns this down and in effect is saying "I don't think I can do the job. I can't succeed at this opportunity" ?

That right there tells me that's the wrong person to hire and if I'm WJ I'm thrilled this person admitted it.

And as someone wrote yesterday and I agree, the Jets could have called back Heckert after he lost out on the KC GM job to see if he was now interested.

Why is it easier to believe this guy than any of the other guys tweeting differently? This guy says something we want to believe. I just want this situation resolved today. There's a college all-star practice this week that the top man on the Jets with final say in the draft should be attending.

I know, but if you just look at it without all the media slants it just doesn't make sense. At least 10 people have interviewed for a position that is a dream Job for any aspiring football executive. The pinnacle of sports management. I just don't buy that these men would line up to interview and just say thanks but no thanks.

Tom Heckert who's been fired twice I believe was not interested which tells me all I need to know about him.

This is a dream job and the Jets are looking for the best fit. They're smart to talk to as many candidates as possible before deciding.

I have no doubt Mike McCartney knows dozens of QC guys or fifth-tier personnel people that would love to have the job.

There might be some overriding factor. Rex? Salary cap? Woody? Sanchez? Or a combination of all these issues which could spell disaster for a first time GM and his future.

In my life, over the years, I've turned down jobs because I didn't like the dynamic. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes? We'll find out once the process ends and someone who didn't take the job speaks about it.

Anybody consider that perhaps Gamble is trying to do the right thing by his current organization and not create a distraction while they are still alive in the playoffs?
