Because you don’t want to reorganize months of work just before the draft.

 

This is often the time of year when teams make their front office and scouting changes.   Not just the Jets but all teams.

 

When we hired Ballard in January of 2017, he reorganized and let some staff go in May.   This is often the time when it’s done.

This is arguably a better time to rework your front office, including at GM. All the heavy lifting for the 2019 team is done. You can take your time interviewing candidates, it's easier to accommodate interviews since there's less going on, you don't have to worry about assembling a coaching staff before the Combine, etc., etc. 

 

In the Jets case, they just guaranteed nearly $140m in free agency. That seems like a strange approach if you're thinking about replacing the GM, but it's not my money...

From what I understand the front office/scouting cycle is different than the team/roster cycle. The team cycle ends with the season's end either at the end of week 17 or when the team is eliminated from the playoffs(or wins SB)... while the front office/scouting cycle ends after the draft and thus this is about as good of a time to change GM(and hopefully his staff) as any. 

 

It's still weird to me to have a new GM saddled with a coach hired either by the previous GM or without the new GM's input. I think this is a bad practice.

Gase will have a say on when and if they hire a new one

I know they might change the people under the GM at that time but usually I thought they changed GM's around the same time as they changed coaches.  

 

I understand what you are saying and it makes some sense.  But at the same time you just had a GM spend a bunch of money and conduct a draft without having the chance to be judged based on that work.  

 

My guess honestly is that it probably has more to do with the GM/Coach relationship.  It wasn't working and ownership picked their coach over the GM.

He was judged Gase and the higher ups did not approve of certain players he signed

I get all that, but if your not happy with the guy why let him keep the keys to your lambo for the most important parts of the offseason. Its coming out now that Gase doesn't want Bell....well to late haha

You're operating under the assumption that they were unhappy with him earlier in the offseason. 

 

There's one report that says Gase didn't want Bell. Might be true, but it comes from a reporter who has been known to sensationalize, at times. Especially about the Jets. 

 

There's another report that suggests that there was a problem between Maccagnan and Heimerdinger. And then the owner is saying he's been considering this and finally decided within the last few days.

 

End of the day, my angle is the decision to change GMs isn't just about one offseason. It's about the direction of the franchise in general, and there is no rigid timeframe for that kind of decision.

My understanding is...    it’s not that Gase didn’t want Bell.   But that he didn’t want Bell at the price and terms the Jets paid.

 

Either way... to fire the GM 5-6 weeks before the draft us just not done.   Remember,  John Dorsey got fired around thus time a few years ago.   If you have to cut your losses,  this is when it’s done.

Yes....   in a perfect world you’d fire the GM in January.    That’s easily the best and most desirable time.

 

But....

 

If a problem surfaces around March (free agency) or (April) and there’s no other way to fix it, then making a change in May/June is the next best time.   It may not be great timing, but after January/February it’s viewed as the next best opportunity.

There are reports that how FA and the draft was handled was a significant factor in the events that have followed.

The Jets owner say no, but I agree that it is a yes. Then Gase immediately trades a former round 1 pick (Darron Lee) for peanuts (maybe because Maccagnan had brought in Mosley?)

BINGO!  Same way Ballard gets a semi-bye from me on his first draft here....  it was before he hired any of his own front office personnel....  he had all of Grigson's  staff still in place, and outside of Ballard's own work, had that staff's research to go on.... and didnm't know the coach he was building a roster for past a year...

I don't have the link handy at the moment but right after this news came out, there was a report that Gase didn't want Bell nor Mosely at the prices they were asking.  

 

So...Bell and Mosely are now playing with huge contracts for a team whose HC doesn't think they're worth the money they're making.  Should be a great start to their coach/player relationships.

For what it's worth.... here's a Jets beat reporter's account. I'm assuming he has fairly credible sources given the relationship details he shares.

 

https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/ny-sports-jets-behind-scenes-adam-gase-mike-maccagnan-20190517-wnaoganfijefdi452rtuxb4tsa-story.html

 

Two things are certain.....

 

1. If Adam Gase was already under a microscope by mere virtue of being the Jets new head coach.... he's just engineered the "NY media scrutiny" equivalent of having the Hubble telescope used for a colonoscopy.

 

2. New England fans are popping hernias laughing at it all.

Gase is a failed HC who somehow "failed up". However, he's right, the Jets over apid for both Bell and Mosley. In reality it's contracts like those that gets teams killed in a couple years. Now the rumor is that Bell is on the market and that teams might be willing to jump since the Jets already paid 12 million of his contract.
