I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.

On NFL Network @RapSheet said Woody Johnson feels that he got "duped into thinking Idzik had more football knowledge than he really had."

Go figure a guy who's only job he's ever had in his life was managing his trust fund is bad at managing people and judging talent.

Granted, he wasn't exactly given much of a roster to start with, but it says a lot that Idzik's best move was probably getting Chris Ivory.

From the Desk of Robert Wood Johnson IV

Dear Ozu,

I am writing to you, a loyal New York Jets Season Ticket Holder, to share important news about the team.

Like many of you, I approached 2014 optimistically, and our 4-12 season is deeply disappointing to me.

After carefully assessing where we are as a football team, this morning I informed Rex Ryan and John Idzik that they will not be returning for the 2015 season. Both Rex and John made significant contributions to the team which will be building blocks for our future. Over the years, Rex brought the Jets a bold confidence and a couple of great post-season runs, which all of us will remember.

These were very difficult decisions, but winning matters above all. My obligation to Jets fans – especially all of you – is to position us for sustained success on the field. We did not make enough progress toward that goal this season, and I have determined that new football leadership is necessary moving forward.

Today I am starting our search, with guidance and support from respected football experts, including Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf, two Super Bowl winners with decades of invaluable experience and insight.

We are considering all options to improve this team and to ensure that our new Head Coach and General Manager work hand-in-hand to build and maintain a winning culture.

I know how much you have invested in the Jets and the results of this search, so I encourage you to visit newyorkjets.com and follow @nyjets on Twitter for updates and additional information throughout the process.

Thank you for your continued passion and support for the New York Jets.

They need to hire a GM first so he can conduct his own search. Picking a coach before a GM is loving stupid and very Jetsy.

I'm going to laugh so hard if the Bears give Trestman a lame-duck year under a new GM like they did with Lovie.

Jerry Angelo was fired after the 2011 season; Lovie didn't get canned until 2012.

Very rarely, since most GM candidates with any clout are going to want to choose their coach. Unless you mean like within a day or two, that probably happens occasionally just due to logistics.

If the Bears don't gently caress this up, the Lions' window to win the division just closed or is rapidly closing. Maybe I just have fan PTSD but I don't like their odds against GB and resurgent Vikings & Bears squads. Last year and this year were as good as any to win but alas.

Are you so sure about that? This follows his usual pattern of "year 1: great offense --> year 2: everything falls apart and he's fired shortly thereafter."

EDIT: Huh so I guess firing the GM before the head coach isn't all that unusual.
