My guess is Angelo and Gaine?

Probably. Gamble dropped off the radar, Popp doesn't seem to be getting much buzz, and Ross and Cohen have all but vanished.

Every day it just gets worse and worse to be a Jets fan. Patriots now have the easiest path possible to the SB, we are considering "cant draft" angelo or "parcells failure tree" gaine. The news is NEVER good, every f'ing day.

We all want a ray of hope...Jed Hughes....

I assure you that there are no leaks coming out of Korn Ferry... The business is too important to let that happen. Therefore everyone speculates based on what they get from candidates, their agents, or people inside the Jets.

Hughes is going to play a bigger role in all of this than just lining up candidates. He understands what Woody wants to accomplish and I am sure his recommendation will be what best fits that. We need to rebuild our offense and Angelo has failed miserably at doing that with the Bears. I would think that Hughes will point that out to Woody.

Hughes seems to have done a nice job with the Seahawks search and I am confident he will recommend the right guy to fit what Woody is trying to accomplish... Woody's plan is certainly open for debate and scrutiny. He owns the team, it is his call. We will see!!!

I was told last week Cohen was the leading candidate. That was before Angelo interviewed. Regardless, Woody is still very high on Cohen...


Jake Steinberg ‏@Steiny31
I would say (in no particular order), Gaine, Cohen and Angelo are the finalists for the #Jets GM job. #nyj

How credible is Stieny actually?

And I would only be content with Gainer from that list. 66.6% chance of screwing this up......yup!

Well, he apparently covers the Jets for SNY and is followed by Cimini, Namath, and Mortensen.

Steinberg has no credibility, his summer roster "locks" were worse than sideshow bob's predictions.

Brian Costello ‏@BrianCoz I was told not to read much into Woody Johnson's plane being in Fla. today. Does not sound like he's picking up Gaine on the trip.

I did too...Gaine or Idzik will work for me since Popp wasn't interviewed (at least via reports)

Yeah. As soon as it was discovered that Popp did not directly work with the cap, his image was sullied.
