He already turned them down the last time they came sniffing around before they hired Idzik. I have to think he has a handshake deal to take over for Ozzie in Baltimore or at least that he's too smart to work for an owner as bad as Woody.Shelterdog said:
Rapaport reporting that the Jets asked to talk to Seahawks Director of Pro Personnel Trent Kirchner, John Schneider's right hand man.
Seems like the most likely landing spot for him at this point. Any head coach who hires Rex is going to have a bunch of media shit-stirrers and/or idiot players calling for Rex to replace them the second their team accrues 2 losses.E5 Yaz said:
I would like to see Rex as an analyst for a year or two. I see potential in Rex as a coach but he has some flaws, a few years on the other side would hopefully help him become a more well rounded/less boisterous coach.

According to the twitter machine he is actually contractually designated as Ozzie's successor. Ozzie's 58 and ownership seems pretty stable and patient so I'd stick around in Baltimore if given the choice.
My money is on Bowles as HC and replacing Mornhinweig with Trestman.
Also Cooper isn't lasting until pick 6. Jets fans lose out on their big 3 in Cooper, Winston, and Mariota.

Jets haven't gotten final word back yet from Eric DeCosta or George Paton. Both are considering whether to decline or accept an interview

Yup. Gotta think the Jets probably tampered as well. No way DM opts out unless he knows the Jets job is his.RedOctober3829 said:
I would think Marrone, McDaniels, or any coach with options would want to choose the best-run organization, with a slight eye on current talent and only a tiny weighting on division strength. Divisions and talent can change but ownership sets the tone.E5 Yaz said:
If Marrone takes the Jets job, either he's not very career savvy or the Pegulas in Buffalo must be a disaster.
Or he knows they have no chance with EJ Manuel next season and no chance to draft a QB in round one as that pick is headed to Cleveland. His stock is high right now and if he stays in Buffalo and they tank badly without a QB he is fired and becomes a retread coach. Now he pockets 4 million dollars for nothing and is a hot candidate. It's a no Brainerd for him.crystalline said:
I don't understand why his stock is so high. What was the clincher, losing a must win game in week 16 against the Raiders? This is why I figure there had to be tampering -- there's no way he sat back and thought "yep, 9-7, my work here is done, time to cash in on the open market".jsinger121 said:
Personally I think he is a lousy coach but he sees himself turning around the Bills from 6-10 to 9-7 with Kyle Orton as his QB. Other teams probably have interest in him but if I'm running a team I wouldn't give him an interview.moondog80 said:
Well, if this is true, what the hell does he think the NYC Press is going to be like?

He only needed to turn to Orton because he completely whiffed on drafting and developing E.J. Manuel. I don't see what he brings to the table that Rex Ryan didn't. Once the honeymoon wears off, the train wreck is going to be spectacular.
It's not mission impossible, taming these guys. Pop in a tape of Mara and Coughlin pressers early this week. They provided meaty answers to substantive questions. When reporters trolled, they took the high road, turning the drive byes into substantive questions, then answering them. The tools in the gallery were embarrassed into good behavior. The aura was, we know we are bad; we know what needs to be done; and we are setting about doing it.ifmanis5 said:
It helps when Mara shows up in a business suit instead of a cap. It helps when Coughlin shoots straight, and is his passionate and sometimes funny self.
Nobody enjoys Coughlin face more than I do, but both guys were impressive and likable.

I mean, his stock being inexplicably high seems to be a great reason to cash in before the market for his services becomes more realistic. Football coaching is a hugely unstable job. If it turns out over the long run he is a really good coach, he'll still have success. If he's really the mediocrity we think, then he's just bagged four million dollars for his family for doing nothing, and can sign another deal at at least the same money. Syracuse is a private school, so they don't publish salaries, but he was probably on what, a couple mil for the three years he was there? That's six million, throw in maybe the same amount over his six years as an NFL assistant, and perhaps two million total from the various position coach gigs he had. It doesn't seem ridiculous to me that he'd take what amounts to maybe a quarter of everything he's earned as a coach to date for a year of doing nothing. There's no guarantee, as noted above, that he doesn't get fired from Buffalo at the end of next season anyway, if they don't sort the QB situation and get a couple of critical injuries on defense.
The only scenario this leaves him worse off is if he fails in his next job where he wouldn't have failed by staying in Buffalo, and he gets the blame for it. It's at least plausible that anyone coaching for Woody gets some kind of "Well, it's the Jets" pass. Any success he might have will get overplayed because it's New York.
Marrone seems like Rex without the charisma and humor.
Yeah, I think the idea of the NY media being tough is a myth. Rex had them eating out of his hand, as does (much more justifiably) Coughlin. There is perhaps more of a pack mentality that goes after the wounded like a shark, but otherwise I think the NY media is pretty soft. That said, I guy with no seeming social skills like Marrone might be just the type of guy they'd go after.
Personally I'd love it if he's the hire. He's easy to dislike, has no record of being a winner or being a good offensive coach, and will possibly be hired before a GM which is a recipe for Buffalo style discord -- bring it on, baby!

If this is true and can be substantiated we're probably talking about something as severe as the Jets first round pick, high as it is, going to the Bills. Add in a low round pick to the Pats for Revis and this could be the Jetsiest offseason to Jets them all. Maybe Marone signs elsewhere just to add to the level of Jets.RedOctober3829 said:
More like they give Buffalo a pick and still fire Marrone in 2 years when they still suckEd Hillel said:
Ed Hillel said:
Let's not forget that the night before Rex was canned, there were reports that they reached out to Rex's agent about their interest in another one of his clients, which Marrone happens to be. At the time we all laughed because it was so Jetsy to reach out to a coach's agent without first firing that coach, but now that it has correlation to tampering? Hilarious.
I mean I think a class organization like the Jets would never allude to an agent that it would pay a coach still under contract x amount of dollars. Curious as to why the name of the other Sexton client was never leaked...hmmPBDWake said:
The question is can anyone prove the Jets tampered? They've been on a roll the last week.
Likely response by the NFL to the Bills' ownership:Tyrone Biggums said:
"You have just been given a license to print money. Quit yer bitchin and get on with it. Don't bring scandal on the Church."
Here is your guidepost: mere hours after the opening of FA, in the middle of the night, Haynesworth agreed to what then was the biggest contract ever given to a defensive player in the NFL. Daniel Snyder was spotted having a long dinner with big Al's agent just weeks before. Nothing came of it, notwithstanding that one of the biggest whiners and fixers in the game, Jeff Fisher, was the guy whose team was the victim of the tampering.
The League does things about these things only when (1) they have it in for the guy tampering or (2) the incident explodes into a media shit storm that can't be ignored.
The NFL is like the old Mob.
Agree this situation is worse in substance. My main point re Haynesworth is the League's willingness to overlook smoking gun evidence of tampering. In that respect, the situation with Big Al was more blatant.Papelbon's Poutine said:

What GM is going to want the Jets job if Marrone is hired? Given his highly public (failed) power play in Buffalo, it's suicide to take it

No QB, no viable FA option, and a bumbling owner who not only should have shut up about Revis but also about Marron when he resigned.soxhop411 said:
As Curran mentioned on radio, Woody would be the "dumbest guy in the mini van."
I'm not convinced they'll get Marrone. There's so many other qualified candidates out there.SeoulSoxFan said:

So what about Doug makes him an attractive hire? I am asking honestly.soxhop411 said:
I have little opinion about him, but those Bills teams were not amazing and failed when they needed a win in Oakland.
