If not for Joe Namath and Weeb Ewbank, they’d be right down there with the Lions, Bengals, pre-Payton Saints, and expansion Browns.

But there is hope, Jets fans. Woody could die and his heirs sell the team to someone who has a clue. He could sell the team himself. Or he could bumble and stumble into the right guy to lead the team, like the Rooneys did when they hired Chuck Noll to coach a Steelers team that had won nothing in almost 40 years.

Like I’ve said from the beginning, the man who takes the Jets GM job will be a guy who as no other options.

Really? Who’s running who?

If he doesn’t know how a receiver should identify his route as a hot read if the corner is playing an outside leverage with an off side blitz, how is he going to find a receiver that knows what he should be doing?

Shouldn’t someone be asking them esoteric football questions?

Still, a million dollar allowance won’t get you very far.

Precisely the competent, highly-sought-after football expert that the Jets need to begin to save the franchise. Not.
When you have to hire a desparate leftover, that does not encourage confidence in the results.

Sort of being told by several doctor’s offices that they don’t have any openings in the near future, so you have to make an appointment with the hack down the block – for some reason his appointment book is not filled up.

Ring number 1 has Mark Sanchez

Ring number 2 has the Ringmaster Rex Ryan

Ring number 3 has Woody Johnson

The clown cars driving around have many other loud and obnoxious members of the circus

Other than huge piles of money I can’t see any reason why anyone would want to be a GM, coach or player there next year.

The Bears interview 13 candidates for head coaching jobs and they’re being “diligent and thorough.” The Jets cast a wide net for a GM search and they are “clueless without a plan.”

They screw up every single step of every single process.

Sparano? Tebow? Sanchez extension? Keeping Rex Ryan? Theis Glat knows nothing about football dolt being apart of hiring a GM?

It’s just amazing watching this team crumble.

A million dollar housing allowance will cover the first and last month’s deposit on an early 19oo’s studio apartment on the upper east side.

Take it from this (cough) ‘fan’ of the Detroit Lions: when it comes to NFL ownership, money can’t fix stupid.

And what good does he do? How bout firing him and bring in a real football guy to be the President, give him a hammer and let him build a real football team or maybe Woody should just sell to someone who may have a desire to do so. It seems like 5 minutes after the West Side Deal for the stadium went dead, so did the Jets. He had a chance to move the team back into New York City, maybe Queens, but chose to share the house with the Giants, hows that workin out?

I would fire Rex and sign a veteran QB (Jason Campbell type) who can come in on a one year deal for a very small price just to be a starter again. This would offset the price of keeping Sanchez ( which they pretty much have too) as a back-up one more year.

I couldn’t possibly screw the organization up further than it already is anyway. And Rex would be out of a job after the first season, because I’d cut just about everyone on the team (especially the offense) just to get out of the cap mess as quick as possible!
