2015 Jets: Back on Track

What is the protocol for that? Is it supposed to be a low-round draft pick, with potential for higher if he ends up signing with the Jets? Is it just a fine? I mean, this one was exceptionally blatant and from the owner, no less. Generally, the major sports seem to look away at tampering (except maybe MLB), but hard to ignore this one.
I 100% believed the report last night that they were prepared to let Rex twist in the wind. I suspect that one of Wolf or Casserly or maybe both passed the word that this stuff won't fly. And when SF and Harbaugh mutually parted ways in a classy way, it became clear even to Woody that this was untenable.
Some tampering rulings from the past:
http://sfo.scout.com/story/740323-nfl-hits-niners-hard-with-tampering-penalty (from 2008) after the 49ers allegedly contacted Briggs' agent.
So there is precedent.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/18/league-finds-lions-guilty-of-tampering/ (from 2011) after a blanket statement about Chiefs players from the Lions DC
So there is precedent.
They just asked Belichick about the Revis situation on WEEI. I was fully expecting the standard "no comment" type of answer, but it seemed fairly clear he wasn't happy. "I would hope that would be something the league will be looking into. It's something they should be looking into."
He really, really hates that organization.
EDIT - We'll never know, but I'd guess he doesn't say that if Mara or Tisch made a similar comment.

Also -- even if Woody wants Revis back, why would you go back to that situation? If Revis can play in NE for the next four years, why the fuck would you ever leave?

It looks like Jerry Jones got out of his Adrian Peterson tampering snafu by having his front office call Minnesota's front office and ironing out hard feelings. If the damaged team needs to ask the NFL to look into it (not sure if that's the case) then apologizing to Kraft could potentially get the Patriots to not pursue it with the league.
The tampering is only the third funniest development out of the Jets after:
1. Woody saying he got "duped" by Idzik, and
2. Woody wearing that stupid white hat with his suit.
When he was a kid people probably called him "Spalding."

Per Danny Kelly at Field Gulls, Jets "management" has 4 hours on Saturday to interview Seahawks DC Dan Quinn for their HC job.
This would be too smart by the Jets, so this won't go well. I forbid them from taking Quinn. They can have OC Darrell Bevell though.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaase let this happen. Welcome the new GM with one less pick to try to shore up the Swiss cheese of a roster.
Jets bringing in Frank Reich, Tom Cable, Todd Bowles, and Gary Kubiak for head coaching interviews.
Beat me to it. A Kubiak hire would basically guarantee a slew of 6 to 9 win seasons and present no credible threat. Maybe he would even bring back the lettermen jackets.BigSoxFan said:

BB is 4-1 against him and the 1 loss was in the meaningless game where Welker got hurt in 09.

Not a very inspiring list, although I give them credit for looking at some young guys like Reich and Bowles to take the reigns.
I can't imagine them bringing in Bowles, as he is essentially Rex Ryan Lite. Reich is an interesting option, although I don't think he's ever really shown an ability to elevate offenses, and he seems pretty mediocre.
If the Jets end up with any of these 4 choices, I think its a win for the Patriots.
Could someone fix the thread title? "Temperin" is driving me crazy, unless there's a joke I'm missing.

Woody wants Coach and GM to report directly to him. It's like he never managed anything or read a management book in his life.

Holy shit, I did not know that. 50+ year old coordinators with mediocre track records? How inspiring.

Damn. I truly don't get it. Does Rex Ryan enjoy tempering chocolate or glass when he's not massaging feet?

Except that Jerry Jones has some actual football knowledge. It's more like Ted Turner and the Braves.

#Jets are expected to make a significant push for #Ravens assistant GM Eric DeCosta, per source. Many have tried for the respected executive

Par for the course, I say. Four out of five threads there eventually turn into a Spygate rehash.soxhop411 said:

I'd die a happy man if DeCosta was given absolute control and then hired back his old Ravens buddy Rex.
But seriously, leaking that you're trying to hire a guy who probably isn't going to join you is just fucking stupid.
