Speaker 1 (00:24):
Again Jets fans here, what do you mean? Welcome to
green Beans, Jets Pod, and I'm happy that you're here.
We have big, big stuff to talk about today. Always fun.
We're gonna get in deep into the general manager stuff
with the New York Jets. As we have learned, the
(00:46):
Jets or Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets,
decided to fire long term general manager Joe Douglass. I
mean long term, longer than most. Mike mccagnan did get
five draft here, but was fired pretty soon after that.
Once Adam Gase got his his claus in the Christopher Johnson.
(01:09):
It was kind of it was kind of a done
deal right after the pick of quinnin Williams, I picked three.
Adam Gase famously now left the room and that whole thing.
So Joe Douglas has been here for a long time.
He had six you had six seasons. His contract was
six years. Would have taken him to the next couple months,
of course, but he's gone. So we're left with Phil Savage,
(01:35):
who's been a GM for the Cleveland Browns, ran the
Senior Bowl as we know, as the president of the
Senior Bowl and was also a general manager in the AFL.
I think it was so hey, he's our he's here
for now, he's our interim GM. This guy with experience
not going to fall apart. I mean, we want to
(01:56):
keep up with everything that we have in place. We
want to make sure this place doesn't crumble to pieces.
This team, all right, you want to make sure we're
still stay all right. Everything is rolling right about now.
So Phil Savage is in. We have lots to discuss.
Some candidates I'd like to bring forth. Some you've heard of,
maybe some you haven't yet. But we'll talk about all
(02:17):
that and then we'll get into the the decision the
one that's really I believe best suited for the job,
and I think some of you might agree. So we'll

(03:43):
Green Beans Jets Pod Guys. It is a tough, tough, tough,
tough season, is it not? And for guys like me
who've been around here since I was a little kid,
little ten year old Tyke making decisions for a fifty
two year old man, I didn't I didn't know. It
has been a really an exercise in an overcoming disappointment.
(04:09):
I mean, there's nothing else that more encompasses the experience
of being a Jets fan. Sure, we've had our moments.
We've had the sack exchange. In my lifetime. Of course,
we have Super Bowl three and all in my lifetime
we have the sack exchange. That's the batch of fellas
that got me hooked into this team, the sack exchange,
and then their counterparts on the offense. The era was
(04:33):
you know, Richard Todd, ultimately Kenny Oh and then we
had Free McNeil, Wesley Walker, Alton and the like Roger Vick,
Mickey Schuler, all those guys. They they were fun. Didn't
get the ring, but they were fun. Then started then really, man,
it's like, you know, you think Walt Michaels was such
(04:54):
a great head coach. He was overlooked for a short
period of time. If you don't know this little tidbit,
Walt Michaels should have been the successor to Weeb. He
wasn't because of a little nepotism. We hired I believe
it was his son in law. I forget his name
off the top of my head, and it didn't work out,
and then we hired Walt Michaels and he was a
(05:16):
great coach and on the plane ride home after the
Mud Bowl, which was the game I decided to be
really decided to be a Jets fans. Why a fan?
I watched games before that. I watched my aunt Gina
loser Marbles. So I decided to be a Jets fan
that game. But little did I know that our head
coach was having an emotional breakdown. Some say it may
(05:37):
have been alcoholism. We didn't talk about such things back then.
But he was gone, and we started right away with
like we had a great team. We had, we had
the ability, he had a great offense, great defense, and
the ability to kind of run it back, make a
couple tweaks, make a couple additions, and really make a
go for it. Well, we switched over to Joe Walton
(05:57):
and as started kind of the succession of really unhappy,
unpredictable events, unlucky. Let's say, you know Bruce Coslit, Pete Carroll,
rich Cottite, Pee Parcells, Bill Belichick, I'll grow Her, Edwards, Manginie,
Rex Bowls, Gasee and now Robert Salas slash Jeff Ulbrick.
(06:24):
It's been disappointing for most of the tenure. Now we're
here in this season, I gotta say, out of those
forty two straight years of being a die hard Jets fan,
this is number one, tops on the list for most
(06:45):
disappointing season than I've ever experienced. And it's hard to quantify,
it's hard to put a finger on this specific thing.
It just looks like the Jets curse, the black Cloud,
nothing we do. You try it with a draft pick,
he crumbles. You try it with a Hall of Famer,
he doesn't look like one, and on and on and on.
So this one with the high hopes, especially after last
(07:09):
year's hopes, and man, this one's squeezing the life out
of many a Jets fan. So the first real job
that we have to do is we have to take
a look at this general manager thing. So the general
managers that are out there, they, you know, the potential
candidates to fill our general manager spot. I should say
(07:31):
there are plenty. There's plenty of them. Now, there's an
interesting way to go about this, you know, because the
idea is that the Jets are somewhat of a dysfunctional organization.
Right again, number three overall pick, number two overall pick
at quarterback can't do it all. Right, Let's switch gears
and get a vet one of the greatest of all time,
(07:55):
and that doesn't work. So there's an idea that maybe
there there is no solution from that angle. It's like,
you know, bringing in new curtains and new pictures and
a new couch into a house that burned down or
that has no foundation. Sometimes you gotta just you gotta
take a step back, and you gotta look at it,
(08:16):
and you gotta sit there with your other with your
engineer and your architect. You go, sucks, man, it's gonna
cost us extra money, it's gonna waste some time, but
we gotta we gotta dig up the foundation. We gotta
go at this from the bottom up. Sometimes you just
gotta do that. So what candidate is gonna come here? Now?
Even if you get a general manager, because getting to
(08:38):
general manager is not easy in this world, right, thirty
two open positions. Some of those guys have been there
for a long time. You know you're not gonna be
you know, you get the job down at in Dallas,
it's not happening. You're not gonna get the job in Baltimore, right,
it's not happening. Like your Steelers, Like there are some
people they've they've been there, and they're not. They're good,
(09:00):
but there's only going to be a couple openings, so
that increases the attraction. Maybe you're willing to take a
job that might not be the most attractive, but it's
one of only a few positions that you can get
and move up in this realm. So you got that.
But even if you hire the general manager, there's the
(09:24):
very real situation with the New York Jets that our
owner likes to get involved. And when he likes to
get involved, it could mean not just his opinion, it
could mean that decision that you, as a general manager
really think is the right thing. I disagree and I
overrule you, so that, as they say, is that you
(09:47):
got no ability to move now. Look, I've been in
executive roles and the leaders. I've done it. Sometimes like
you run the house, you run the house. Sometimes the
owner just steps in and goes do this, and you say, hey,
i'd like to tell you, Goyes, I don't really want
to hear your opinion right now. I've made a decision.
There are reasons that go above you and beyond you,
and you know information you may not be privy to.
(10:10):
This is what I need you to do. Are you
gonna do it? Or do I need to find somebody
to do it? And you gotta go, ah, I'll do it,
unless it's like I need you to kill everybody and
you go, okay, well I'm not gonna do that. But
that rarely happens. I think in most scenarios, I don't
think you get asked to do that, so I haven't.
So sometimes you just got to do it. Now. Once
(10:30):
in a while, that's fine. Of course, you got the board,
you got the owner or whatever, and they make these decisions.
But if it's consistent and you know it's going to
detract from the overall job that you're responsible for, it
can wear on you. And if people know that going in,
maybe they won't. They don't want to do it. So
you get the general manager. Even let's say you do that.
(10:51):
Now you got to get the coach. You got to
get the coach. So what coach watching what's gone on
here and knowing full well that even if you and
your general managers are thickest thieves and are on the
same page, the owner could come in and say, I
want you to get Tim Tebow in here. I want
(11:12):
you to get this guy. That guy you want to
keep I don't want to pay him. The quarterback went
down four plays end of the year. We got to
get a quarterback. I'm giving too much money to the
quarterback position roll with Zach and Tim Tim. So there
you go. You know who knows who wants to do it.
So you gotta overcome a lot of obstacles. And even
(11:33):
if you do, you don't know what the results are
gonna be because if we haven't gone down to a
foundational level, it doesn't matter. You can get the world's
greatest whoever. And if Wood he's just gonna overrule him,
then he's gonna overrule him. Right, So we don't know
what this is gonna look like. That said, you gotta
go get somebody, So you want it to be the
(11:54):
best situation possible. Now that there's two ways to look
at this one. As you go out there and you
want to secure the greatest coach that you can get,
a guy that you believe as a leader, a guy
that you've seen have success in the NFL, is widely respected,
and you can go out of Vrabel and you can
bring him in first, and you can say, look, I
(12:15):
want you to work the phone, so to speak, and
get your guy in here, the guy you think would
most accomplish your personnel needs. Now he'll still be the
general manager, but you're kind of the boss to him.
You're the guy. You're running the football operations. You could
do that. Maybe that's attractive, Maybe that's not. Maybe that
(12:38):
gets a guy with a track record like Vrabels and
the respect that Rabel has to come into this organization.
Maybe you can do that. Maybe you go back to
the well and you do this whole thing. We have
somebody out there who has had some success. This guy
right here, the guy who signed that football. Maybe you
go out and you get Rex. He wants to he's
(13:00):
a Jets fan, he's loyal to us. He gave us
the last two playoff years that we've ever had. Crazy enough,
and the guy can look what he's done before to
great success, was take a team that was built, add
a couple pieces and get them motivated to play violent football,
(13:25):
to believe, to kind of squeeze the lemon right, get
to that that higher level that they were that they
just weren't able to achieve. Maybe with the previous organization
that being Eric Mangini, but this time would be Salah
Olbrick than the bunch. He's there an argument for that, sure,
(13:46):
but then what GM if you're if you want Rex,
You're gonna have to hire Rex first. I don't think
any general manager, serious general manager candidate that you bring
in is gonna say I want Rex to be my guy.
I just don't see it. He hasn't coached in the NFL.
And what is it eleven years now, twenty twenty, What
is it twenty twelve, thirteen? Yeah, it's eleven years. He
(14:10):
hasn't coached. He hasn't even been a position coach in
the NFL. Now, maybe he's been offered he didn't want
to because I'm the head coach now. I mean, I
don't know. But no matter how he slic said he
hasn't coached in the NFL, is he has he outdated?
I don't know. Now, let's be let's just be factual.
We can hypothesize all day long, but to be factual,
(14:31):
Rex Ryan had two good years and four bad ones here.
He's never been able to really produce, you know, what
we would call a consistently high level offense. The best
was when he you know, inherited in many respects the
offense that was here. We had the man Golds to
the Brickishaw Ferguson's, the Thomas Jones and Kotchery and Brad Smith.
(14:54):
They were all already here. Now they got rid of
Tom Jones. They brought in j Green and Ladanian Tomlinson.
So there's that, right. They traded for Brillan Edwards his
first year. They traded for s Antonio Omes the next year,
So there's that. So it was wile he was here.
They added to it. Tannembaum did, but buying large, you know,
(15:15):
the team was here. But Rex had three offensive coordinators
in that six years. He had Brian Schottenheimer then scapegoated him.
He had Tannembauma's GM scapegoated him. So he gets uh Sperano,
God rest his soul for one year. And then he
gets Marty morning Wig, who I think was a good
defense you know, a good offensive coordinator. I mean I
liked Marty morning Wig overall. He called that time out.
(15:38):
Remember the timeout. Remember the timeout. You guys know what
I'm talking about. If you don't remember the timeout, you
got to ask somebody in the comments. We'll tell you
all about the timeout. The timeout man ruined, ruined a
lot AnyWho other than that pretty good. And then he
had Greg Roman up in Buffalo with ty Taylor, so
(16:00):
there's that little connection. I believe Tyrod Taylor was the quarterback.
So I don't know, but you're gonna put yourself right
in the same situation that you were when when we
fired Mike Tannabaum, which which is you're gonna have to
get a lower level GM, somebody that's willing to come
in here and work with Rex, because if you hire
the general manager first and try to shoehorn Rex into
(16:23):
their resume, they're not gonna want it. They're gonna tell
you no way. They're gonna tell you no way. There.
I mean, who Mike Tannabaum. If you want to go
hire Mike tannaboum, I'm sure we's willing to reunite with
Rexy Sexy Rexy and get the job done. Let's go
finish what we started. Baby, we got off course, bring
(16:44):
it back in Trader, Mike's back in control. Maybe is
that what you want to do. I don't know who
else we got out there, Well, you got Ray Agnew.
If we're gonna be serious about this, the vable thing
is interesting. I think any GM would love to hire
a Vrabel. So if you hired a GM and you say, hey,
(17:06):
look we really want optimally, we really want you to
try to get Mike Vrabel in here. Okay, well that's
an idea. I think any GM would be like, oh man,
I'd be happy to get that done. They might have
their other ideas, but I think most would buy into that,
certainly quicker than buying into a Rex Ryan regime. I
(17:26):
know we love him. I know he's fun, I get
I don't even know if he'd do a terrible job
right out of the gate. I believe that he can
get these guys amped up. The problem is it wears off,
you know what I mean. If you don't get that
ring baby quick, you gotta go snatch that thing. If
you don't do that, it's gonna wear off and we're
gonna be stuck. But if you want Vrabel, any GM
I think would want them, so you could get that done.
(17:49):
But again, you know, we don't know. When you bring
a general manager and they're gonna have their they're gonna
want to pick their own head coach because it's their resume,
it's their reputation on the line. So if Woo he
start saying stuff in the interview, like, hey, it's like
what they did with Matt Ruhle. Matt Ruhle came in,
he was going to take the job as head coach,
and they said, we want you to have we want
to hire your defensive coordinator. From the rumor is they
(18:12):
wanted Greg Williams to be the defensive coordinator. They wanted
Adam Gase to be the offensive coordinator, and he said, no,
I want to pick my own, guys. I think the
same thing will apply. So let's say we're going to
be serious. We're not going to do the hiring Vrabel
first as the coach, and we're not going to do that.
And then we're not going to shoehorn Rex in this thing.
A guy like Ray Agnew's way up top, guys, and
(18:33):
I'll tell you why. He's the assistant general manager of
the Detroit Lions, who have done a fantastic job acquiring talent,
not only acquiring talent, taking some risks, but having the
coaching staff in place right. They did a really good
job with their coaching staff. Two of their guys, Ben
Johnson and Aaron Glenn, are both being considered as part
(18:57):
of this head coaching cycle will at least get looks.
I think Ben Johnson will be the number one on
many lists. Aaron Glenn's going to be in the conversation
as well. He's doing a great job. Former NFL player
doing a whole thing. Agnew is a former NFL player
and his son is currently a scout with the Jets.
(19:18):
Now that could be damning. I'm hearing word out of
the Jets that everybody in the house is looking at
what he like. He's a bit unhinged right now. That's
just what I'm hearing. I don't know, maybe maybe not,
but that's what I'm hearing. So if Ray Agnew's son
(19:41):
is here and he's saying, Dad, listen, don't take it.
I'm telling you, this guy's gonna kill you. This guy's
gonna steal your soul, baby. And then he added to
that he was a Patriot. So there's a lot of
little overcome there. I don't know so much about Ray Agnew.
I think he'd be a good get, but I don't
know if that'll happen. Now, you got the guy from
(20:01):
the Chiefs Burghazi. He's a Paisan, a Borghazzi. I think
it a Bergonzi, a Burgonzi, Hey Bergonzi, Assistant general manager
of the Chiefs. So the Chiefs have done now, interestingly enough,
I'll tell you, the Chiefs drafts have been most aligned
(20:25):
with what I would have done. Over the past let's
say four or five years. They get all the guys
that I would have gotten. They get them sometimes even
later than I would have gotten them, so I would
have got them. You see what I'm saying now, Guys
like Creed Humphrey, Guys like Carl Loftis. Don't get me wrong,
I love JJ like Trey Smith, Guys like Leo Chanel.
(20:48):
So there's a lot, there's a lot of guys. Got
Carson Steel everybody, right, So there are guys like It's
just one of those things that the Chiefs tend to
draft closer to the way I would draft. So I
like him as a potential candidate. And this is a
guy so like the Jets like to get guys from
(21:10):
teams like you know, you just look over the years
we get like, you know, an offensive court Bruce Cosla
just comes to my mind. He was a great offensive
coordinator for the Bengals, for the losing team in the
Super Bowl. Okay, it's one of those were Robert Sala.
We hired Robert Sala. I mean, he's we were a great,
(21:30):
great team. They lost to Super Bowl two years ago.
They were They didn't even make the playoffs the year
that we hired him. So it's one of those things,
man like, we always go for the guy like. He's good.
Don't get me wrong, he's got a resume, he looks
like a good whatever coach, general mounts. But we get
the guy on the losing side. You go get Borganzi.
(21:52):
And this is a guy with three straight Super Bowl trophies.
That's the organization, you know what I mean. He knows
how to get over the hump, not get to the wall. Man.
So he's one of those. And he's been a director
of player personnel, he's been a director of football operations.
The guy's resume is stout and he's a winner. He's
(22:13):
part of the winners. Now the NFL helps them, of
course a little bit. Can we say that not every
team gets the help that may be Burganzi got. But
a guy like him, is he gonna even be interested
in coming to a place like this, You know what
I'm not thinking he does. Now let's turn the page
(22:36):
to a former GM. You got Dorsey, John Dorsey currently
on the chief staff. He's a senior personnel director exactly
something like that. But he was the general manager part
of the team. So this is the thing. Dorsey more famous,
I think for taking Baker Mayfield first overall than you know,
(22:58):
over Islan Darnold and everybody else when he was the
general manager of the Browns. But this is the guy
who drafted Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Kill.
This is a guy who was well respected around the league,
(23:19):
has done the job before at a high level. Bold,
so you like that. He's got to be bold, not
afraid to trade, not afraid to do those kinds of things.
And he comes from again, an organization that just won championships.
Did I say he was the director of the I
(23:39):
meant he was with the Chiefs. But now he's with
the Lions. So again we're looking at the Lions, We're
looking at the Chiefs. Dorsy is interesting. He's not necessarily
they didn't win a championship yet they might this year. Man,
they're looking pretty damn stout. But again, he's helped build
the team that went to the championships. For in recent memory.
(24:03):
I mean, who's better than the Chiefs? Right, Who's better
than the Chiefs? So Dorsey's an interesting one that I
think the Jets should consider. Now you got Grigson another one. Well,
he's from the Vikings, but he's interesting, and you don't
want to do this higher hacket to get Rogers thing again.
You want to make sure that you feel like the
candidate can do it. But look at the good job
(24:24):
the Vikings have done with personnel over the over the
last few years. But also there's a connection. One of
the top head coaching candidates. I know he's polarizing and
I know a lot of people don't want him, but
the truth is he is a super strong candidates. One
He's in my top three. You got Vrabel, Ben Johnson,
(24:45):
and Brian Flores. Brian Flores, former head coach of the Dolphins,
squeezed a lot out of a little down there ten
and six, nine and seven the last two years before
he was fired. He wasn't fired for anything to do
with the job other than he wasn't gonna take money
to tank. The ownership wanted to give him money to tank.
(25:05):
He said no and told everybody about it. Now There's
all kinds of stuff with him about the league. People
don't like the way he handles the media. People don't
like what he said about TUA. There's an article out
there from August of this year where he talked about
all the reflection that he did and how he handled
to and he feels like he learned from it and
he was regretful. And that's a guy like you want
somebody that's strong, firm, knows how to do it, but
(25:29):
can be humble and learn and be you know what
I mean, like take ownership of stuff that they've made
mistakes within the past. You know. So, I don't know.
Brian Flores comes here, head coaching experience, successful head coaching experience,
busting is ass doing a great job with the with
(25:49):
the Vikings defense right now, hates the Miami Dolphins, knows
the AFC East. I don't know, man, it's one of those.
I think he'd be somebody to consider. You hire the
assistant general manager of the team. He's on now and
that might be his first phone call. Not a bad
(26:10):
batch to bring into this team. People that are serious,
people that know what they're doing. I like it. Well,
let's talk about another candidate. Outside of the box that
I think should get the job. Okay, all the talk aside,
there are more candidates, of course, you know, it was
all kinds of guys. The guys from the Eagles I
hear talk about. You know Champ Kelly, who was in
(26:33):
the mix when we hired Joe Douglas. He's the assistant
GM of the Raiders. You know what I mean, I
don't know what are the Raiders doing? You know what
I'm saying, I don't know. Again, I don't want that.
You know, you got a great personal guy tucked into
a bad team. I just wanted somebody with some success.
I'm tired of it, right unless we're gonna go way
outside the box for that. Let's get into this week's
(26:54):
intelligent Greg. All right now, some of you guys see
this coming, some of you don't. Some of you have
no idea what I'm about to say. I'm about to
say something to you. I am a firm believer. When
I look at the Jets coaches and I look at
(27:16):
the Jets general managers when they leave, they look like
somebody who's taken on the president's job. You know, the
job is the United States president. You know, they look like,
you know, they look young. They look like I got
barrels of energy going in And at the end, you
look at Barack. Obama's a great, great example. He was
a young man and he left. He looked like somebody
(27:37):
dragged him through the aging machine. You know what I mean, Like, hey,
come out of here, buddy, just advances in age. And
but that's it's what's a high stress job. The Jets
guys look like that. Joe Douglas's most recent interview, he
looked like he was weather beaten. Yeah, no, I have
no answers, man, I don't know what's going on. I
serve it the pleasure of the owner of blah bah blah.
(27:58):
I'm tired fishing recently. And the word that came out
of there, who knows how true is somebody who knows
him said he never felt so at peace. Yeah, you
think because we invited you into the lions Den, you'd
never seen anything like this before. Sure you played for
the Richmond Spiders. Sure you hung out with Ozzie Newsome,
(28:19):
then you went to Howie Rosman after a brief stint
in Chicago, had one year in Chicago. He stayed up
there for five years. Maybe he would have known what's
coming here. He was in Chicago for what amounts to
five minutes, and he left and he went to the
Super Bowl winning Eagles. You don't know what it's like
in here. And the truth is is that only a
(28:40):
certain group of people do know what it's like in here,
really know what it's like. You can't come in here
and in four years figure out how to account for,
deal with, absorb and let it roll off. That's a
Jets curse. You have no idea how to deal with that.
(29:01):
What this really is. There is no franchise like the
New York Jets. And that's in all of sports. It
doesn't matter. We're like the team in Major League. Remember
those guys every we's smoking cigarettes. This guy's praying to
the statue. The other guys, you know whatever, fifty years old,
you know. So it's like, you know, that's what it is.
(29:24):
It's like it's just a cloud. Nobody really thinks that
anything's gonna happen here outside of the organization until Aaron Rodgers,
when Bill Parcells came. That was one thing. Aaron Rodgers comes.
The NFL puts us on all these primetime games. Nobody
knows the NFL even said something as think about as
crazy this is. They said, we felt the Jets owed
(29:46):
us for Aaron Rodgers going down. We owe you, we
owe you. You'd throw us on all these primetime games
after never we haven't done anything since twenty ten. Nothing.
We had an illusionary phantom year in twenty fifteen with
a bunch of old heads that captured greatness, spill lightning
(30:08):
in a bottle for a minute. Still didn't get to
the playoffs. And they do that, They put us out
front like we are somebody, and then they'd say, we
thought the Jets owed us well, because you're not looking.
You don't know what it's like in here. And that's
why my chosen general manager happens to be green Bean me.
(30:32):
I should be the next GM of the New York Jets. Again.
I've been evaluating and looking at drafts, players, prospects, been
to the Senior Bowl, gone over draft boards, done all
this stuff for the better part of twenty years. Before
it was cool, before everybody had a mock draft simulator.
We were doing this stuff on Jet Nation and on
(30:53):
the Greenhouse. We're all comparing our draft boards, doing all
this stuff. I might not have the experience as a
general manager, as a personnel person in this league. But
what I do have experience in is I have been
leading multidisciplinary teams for the last fifteen years at a
very very high level. If you think football players are
(31:17):
difficult to corral, all the personalities, all the money, everything
like that, I'm going to tell you that my field
is ten times worse. I'm in the addictions field. Okay,
multiple additions, from detox to residential treatment, to outpatient treatment
to opioid use disorder clinics. I've been the executive director
(31:40):
of all of them. I had to flip houses of staff.
I've had to motivate people who didn't want to be motivated.
I've had to get staff to how they're going to
get through to people, budgets, you name it. I've done
all of it for the last fifteen years. I've never
been fired, never, not once, and I've risen consistently. I
(32:03):
know what the Jets need. I know how to build
and motivate teams, fiercely loyal teams that would live, eat, sleep,
and breathe nothing but the New York Jets. I know
how to do that. And here's the kicker. There is
not one candidate. Whether his name is Jack Dorsey, whether
(32:24):
he comes from the Steelers or the Cowboys, or the
Ravens or the Niners, it doesn't matter. No one knows
what it's like here. By the time they know, we
already hate them, they've already failed. From a quarterback to
a coach to a general manager, We've been here the
(32:45):
whole time. They don't know what it's like. We know
how to account for the Jets curse only us, And
with my experience as a director a very very long
charge teams for multimillion dollar organizations, national health groups, I
know that I could fix the Jets in two years.
(33:09):
You give me two years. Give me three months to
figure out what's going on around the building, another month
to figure out where the bathroom is, and from there
my team will know exactly what they're doing. I will
allow people to exhibit and utilize their expertise as counselors, advisors.
(33:30):
Everybody will be able to flourish in their roles, and
I make the final decision on who comes and goes
and how we're going to do this thing. Value football success.
That's the new mantra. No all gas, no breaks. Sometimes
you need the breaks everybody. Sometimes you need to apply
(33:54):
the breaks. If you're head and toward a tree or
a clip or something like that, I'm gonna suggeses that
we pump, maybe just feathers slightly, the breaks. Sometimes you
need to do that. Now on the other side of this,
Woody our owner, our leader. If you're looking for headlines,
(34:14):
there is no better headline, then given one of us
in house, one of our own, the chance to run
this team. We've tried everything. You hired Corn Ferry, you
hired two former gms, ron Wolf Casserly, you brought everybody
in here. We're trying to figure it out. Nothing works
(34:38):
because nobody is us. I'm gonna put my open letter
to Woody Johnson in the description. No, I'm gonna put
it in the comments of this video. I'm also gonna
mail Woody this letter. I'm gonna mail him my resume.
I'm gonna get in touch with him on Twitter. I'm
gonna get in touch with him anywhere that I can,
(34:59):
any that I can. But I want you to read,
my viewers to read the letter. It'll be in the
comments of this video. I'll pin it to the top
for you, and I want you to make the decision.
I'm also gonna have T shirts and I'm gonna be
given away for the next foreseeable future until they either
(35:23):
hire me or make the terrible decision not to. Greenbean
should be the general manager of the New York Jets.
I will staff this team with people who care, are passionate, live, eat, sleep,
nothing but New York Jets football experts. You have experts
right here, and I will lead them to the Promised
(35:47):
Land and get us the Lombardi Trophy that has been
so elusive since nineteen sixty nine before the merger. It's time.
Enough is enough, keep it in house, and let's go
win some Super Bowls. Let me know what you think
in the comments everybody. With that all said, I'm gonna
get out of here. I love you guys, can't wait
(36:08):
to hear your thoughts. And with that all said, as always,
go Jets.
