Ted Sundquist

[Dirtstar]

i like it.

experienced GM, came from a winning program, worked with a tight-ass coach so he's not likely to put up with a lot of clowning from Rex.

much better than some of the other names we've heard about.

VP of Football operations: Omar Khan

Gm: Ted Sundquist

If you rolled JI posters ultimate wish list all into one, Sunquist may very well come the closest to meeting that list.

Scouting Background. Check.
GM Experience. Check.
Part of a Winner. Check.
Track record for Free Agency. Check.

I could get on board with this.

Or he's piggybacking Shefter

@AlbertBreer
Also, sounds like ex-Broncos exec Ted Sundquist did very well in his interview with the Jets. Seems have to a legit shot at it.

@Ganggreen345 @AlbertBreer Is this from an independent source or are you getting that from Shefter's tweet? Big difference...

@AlbertBreer @Ganggreen345 Independent source, of course.

I'm down.

[Jet Fumes]

Did he say "Jets" and "detailed plan" all in the same sentence?

Thats actually kinda funny! Just the suggestion that they should have had one with Sanchez was enough for me.

Hired.

Throw the house allowance at him.

And no disrespect to the posters who think we shouldnt get any retreads, on the surface I agree. But, Johnson, again, is clueless and needs to get a guy with a proven ability to run a football team.

He listened to Tannenbaum and Bradway cause Tuna said to trust them. He is looking for facts now apparently, and Sundquist can provide them with his resume.

Listen I am no Sundquist lover, but he seems to have the best resume of the guys mentioned and he has done it before. He wasnt a part of a successful organization, he ran a successful organization.

Get him a cap expert, maybe Khan, and call it a done deal. Let him find talent, let Khan get them under contract.

[mavericknyc1980]

This would make me very happy. This hire is very important.

I know. Go read Breers timeline from last week. I just posted the scenario he tweeted within 24 hours of Caldwell signing with Jax.

Khan... VP of Football Operations (contract and cap specialist)

Gamble... Pres of College Scouting

Sundquist... General Manager


Any chance they hire a FEW people to right the ship?

Sign this beast

I would say no chance, but in the hypothetical world that would be pretty cool

I tho k in order to hire Gamble or the others for non-GM jobs, would we they have to get released from their contract of their current teams?

To elaborate further, if teams thought that their key employees were being raided for positions other than General Managers, they could start denying permission to interview.

[canadianjetsfan]

check out the blog post he wrote on the Sanchez and Tebow. He said some interesting things. This guy gets it!

http://tedsundquist38.com/2012/03/26...heztebow-plan/

"As a former GM, selection and development of top 10 players can’t be taken lightly, especially under the “old CBA” way of doing business. Too much financial and opportunity cost is invested. Every ounce of effort must and should go into the development of young quarterback. Sanchez has not lived up to expectations of the fans and the media who put him on his pedestal in 2009. Despite only two seasons removed from a trip to the AFC Championship, he is being questioned from every angle imaginable; leadership, production, dedication."

"Sanchez has yet to reach the full potential projected after being the second QB selected in 2009. After consecutive playoffs appearances, New York took a step back towards mediocrity this past season. The Jets picked the Southern Cal QB even with only a little over a season’s worth of starting experience. To thrust Sanchez into the situation he’s found himself should have come with a detailed developmental plan, and I don’t and haven’t seen one."

Truer words have never neen spoken.

Don't get greedy. Just please confirm this as a done deal so we can tell all the whiners, and worriers to do you know what to my Woody, or my Johnson.

Not sure how it works w mgmt positions. Coaches can leave for promotions. All the team would have to do is put president in front of someones title assuming they dont already have the title president already, then its a promotion.

Good question tho and I dont know the answer.

Actually coaches cannot leave for promotions. They have to be at the end of their contract or released from their contract by their current(former) team.

I think they used to allow this and then teams started taking advantage by coming up with clever titles and abusing the assistant HC title.

[nyjets1969]

This guy can fix this franchise. The Jets need to sign him.Look at what he did in Denver and his blog is 100% correct. If this guy was GM Sanchez would have never been drafted. This is the best candidate the Jets have interviewed next to Caldwell. SIGN THIS GUY PLEASE.

You can crap on any reporter, but Schefter might be the most reliable one out there. I doubt he is reporting this information for his own personal agenda.

"@AdamSchefter - Sundquist is a very smart football man with outstanding character. Would be a great choice for Jets"

this is not a report, this is giving the man a bj on twitter


and btw i think he is one of the best candidates and would be a good choice , i just think that Schefter trying to push him a little bit too much to rile up the fans, and seems he is doing a good job at it.

It is a strong endorsement but I don't think Shefter would say it on a whim. I'll bet the guy has talent.

That tweet was from Russ Lande to Shefter.
