Woody is the greatest troll the world has ever known. Whereas Dan Snyder is a terrible owner he is surpassed by Woody's artistic choices.soxhop411 said:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through casa Woody
Not a creature was stirring, not even Charlie Casserly
Green ball caps were strewn across the floor without care,
Frustration set in, knowing Black Monday would soon be there.
The scouts were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of first round defenders danced in their heads.
And there I lay, once again feeling like a sap,
Another losing season had fallen in my lap.
When out my penthouse there arose such a humming,
I sprang from my bed to see what was coming.
Away to the window, I sprinted across the manor,
I looked out to see a toy plane with a banner.
“Fire John Idzik” is what the banner said
It's just like the billboard I yesterday read.
When, what to my tearing eyes should appear,
But my own GM looking rather austere
He turned to me and gave a little sob
And I knew right away he was here to beg for his job.
I held up a hand, but he started just the same,
His signings and draft picks, he called them by name:
"There’s Vick! There’s Johnson!
There’s Colon! There’s Goodson!
And Decker! And Geno!
And Milliner! And Breno
Up and down the roster, quite a decent haul
Oh who am I kidding? I have no clue at all!”
At that very moment he broke down to cry,
Lamenting the rookie wide receivers he let pass by.
Loaded with cap space to replenish the crew
He waited and waited til the choices were few
“Sustained success” he mutter the lie
“The draft is our lifeline” another battle cry
As he rambled and stuttered in a dull monotone
His press conference all over with the same pointless drone
He echoed Geno and his fable about Pro Bowl flashes
And he said there’s a chance we can rise from the ashes
“Just one more season is all that I ask.
If I pick my own coach, I’ll be up to the task!”
My eyes how they burned and I gave him a sneer,
I couldn’t take it any more, I’d had it up to here!
He backed up and fear had shown upon his face
He was Tom Brady and I was Calvin Pace
I charged and tackled him baring my teeth
I was on top and he underneath
He’d pushed me too far, there was fire in my belly,
My GM was so scared, his bowels turned to jelly
I screamed and I yelled, I lost all my grace,
“What is the point of all that cap space?!?!?
Why didn’t you try to give Revis a call?
Instead your top corner ended up AWOL”
He spoke not a word, but just went on cryin’
And then out of nowhere in walked Rex Ryan
He bent over and pulled me up by the scruff
and giving a nod, he said “That’s enough”
He walked to the door, but paused at the brink,
As he left he smiled and gave me a wink
But I heard him exclaim, his glee he couldn’t conceal,
"Happy Christmas to me, Rexy’s got a TV deal!"

Lead video on the Jets' website right now is just one long catalogue of Idzik's mistakes. Never seen anything like it. The guy is so fired.

NJ.com says Rex has already cleared out his office and Casserly has begun contacting candidates.
Interestingly that report also notes that Ron Wolf is expected to join Casserly in the search. And that the NYJ website links to an objective assessment of Idzik's performance, probably a confirmation that the housecleaning will be complete.RedOctober3829 said:
And he said (paraphrasing), "Don't read too much into Rex cleaning out his desk. This isn't the first times he's done that." Haha...this organization is such a mess.DrewDawg said:

I have no words for how screwed up the Jets are. That's unbelievable.
Jets apparently looking at Todd Bowles, Jim Mora (currently at UCLA), and Norv Turner as possible HC candidates.
Jets also looking at Duke Tobin (Bengals) as a GM candidate.

This thread started with this 2013 video, and only seems fitting that we await the Black Monday with the same clip. My how times have changed:

It is bullshit, but does Rex deserve better? He is always Rex first, why should others put his needs first, when he doesn't put others needs first?
The blueprint for this is out there. Just find a bar napkin and scribble "I resign as HC of the NYJ"soxhop411 said:
But he'd be resigning from the unpaid money. Can't have it both ways.
Don't put it past the Jets to go into "we don't want him, but you can't have him" mode and screw themselves in the process.
That's right. If they want to spite Rex for the time it takes to fill these vacancies, that's fine if you're into being small minded. They are entitled to do that because they are still on the hook to him financially. But if they string this out even one extra day, they will only be hurting themselves. Guys they want on their new staff will be hired by others.
Woody Johnson can't even take out the trash without setting the dumpster on fire.
If he drags this on only to have Rex get fired after the hiring window closes, it'll just damage their reputation further.
...which is exactly what I would expect WJ to do.

Jets contact Ryan's agent about a candidate for the vacant HC position- even though they haven't fired Ryan yet.

@MMehtaNYDN: Woody Johnson will meet with Rex Ryan tomorrow morning when it's expected the owner will tell his head coach that he's making a change #nyj

Jets owner Woody Johnson will move swiftly Monday to fire both John Idzik and Rex Ryan, per sources. Johnson won't keep Ryan hanging on fate

How long before Elway calls Rex to be a defensive assistant for this years's playoffs like Josh McDaniels did for NE after he was fired by the Broncos?
I'm mostly kidding. But is that even allowed anymore? I remember the league was going to ban it because of the backlash.
PS - My phone auto-corrects "Elway" to "Sleazy".

It's been another amazing year for the Jets thread. Final tally: 1,062 replies and 127k+ views.
Thank you everyone (including Rex, Geno, and Woody) for making this another tremendous Jetsian season!
