I would assume Woody would do it if Tanny's job is indeed done.

Tanny, Rex, Sanchez, Tebow, Sparano and Pettine all need to go.

Rex is not a HC. He has proven that over the past two years. It started with allowing the NE win to become their SB.

Rex Ryan will remain coach, Woody Johnson announces. Tannenbaum is out. #Jets

[JetPotato]

There simply is no point in firing the GM if you've hitched yourself to the coach. Why open a role you aren't putting yourself in position to fill it with someone better?

Mike Tannenbaum is out, Rex Ryan stays. The #Jets have hired the firm that found Seattle's GM to find their own. #NYJ players talk at 10

I knew something had officially gone down when I couldn't get on the board. It's already turning out to be a happy New Year!

If the GM doesn't like Rex after 2013 I'm sure the situation can be rectified...

Our post on Pat Shurmur's firing. Tough situation, but he never made a strong case to stay http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...gn=Twitter_atl …
