Comments on: Jets G.M. search moves to Jimmy Raye http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/09/jets-search-moves-to-jimmy-raye/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 03:18:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: harry1941 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/09/jets-search-moves-to-jimmy-raye/#comment-2252073 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:05:27 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1640873#comment-2252073 Woody Johnson is keeping Rex Ryan, as the head coach no matter if the GMs like it or not. Rex Ryan will be picking the players in this year’s NFL draft in Apail, if no GM is hired. He wanted to clean house his way. What makes a coach and GM look bad, is that the players are not doing their job right. Bill Belicrap of NE looks good because the players are doing their jobs. I put the blame on the players, not Rex Ryan. Get rid of the lazy ones on the offensive line.

Jimmy Rae III is well respected in San Diego for his ability to find talented players and was rumored to be the future GM of the Chargers

I think Spanos was just blown away when they interviewed Telesco so they went with him but they clearly want to retain Rae.

In addition to the players you mentioned Rae was involved in finding undrafted free agents Antonio Gates and Chris Dielman.

So Raye was in charge of college scouting when SD got: Merriman, Sproles, Castillo, Brees, Rivers, LT, Michael Turner, Nick Hardwick

More of Raye’s picks from SD: Nick Hardwick (pro bowl C), Shaun Phillips (pro bowl DE) and Nate Kaeding (pro bowl K), Vincent Jackson (PBWR)

Do any Chargers fans know the reason they passed him up? Seems like a legit prospect.

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Jimmy Raye Sr. He was at one time an assistant coach in SF. Jimmy Raye Jr. has worked in the Personnel Department for the Chargers for several years.

Woody Johnson had already made it clear that the Jets are only interested in a weak and neutered GM

If Gamble refused to accept that demand of the Jets (and why would he?) then one could expect “the interview did not go well)

The Jets should have many choices if they are seeking a meek, sub par GM candidate.

This guy was rejected by the Chargers but is the leading candidate for the Jets GM? In what universe does that make any sense?

Nobody wants to join this train wreck.

It’s gonna being interesting to see what they roll out next season.

It just means Telesco was better to them. I heard a lot of good things about Raye around San Diego and was actually rooting for him for the Chargers.

The Chargers themselves had a GM opening and specifically chose not to promote this guy who worked for them for years. And now the Jets are interested. LOL

Maybe “didn’t go well” meant that once Gamble found at the he would basically be second fiddle to a bad coach, he wasn’t able to act interested in taking the job.

There three options sitting in front of Johnson this offseason: fire Tannebaum and Ryan, fire Ryan and not Tannebaum, or fire Tannebaum and not Ryan.

Is it any surprise he picked easily the worst of those options?
