Hahaha.
Blank must have had a stroke or something. He is one of the most savvy business people in the country and is regarded as a top owner. Not to mention Dimitroff is a pretty good GM.
Just doesn't make sense. K/F must have nudes of every executive in the league or something. Idzik should have been a death sentence for them.

The team has plenty of talent. Just no balls at all. That is on the coach not the GM.

Their OL has been decimated by injuries two years in a row and that has been the biggest culprit.

I am not sure if other teams, before the Jets, employed KF to conduct a search in the past. KF puts several candidates before the decision maker(s). I am willing to bet that's what occurred with the Jets. The ultimate decider, WJ, made the choice. KF is one the best recruiting firms in the business.

I think one of the heads of KF was hired before by NFL teams. Whether that was under KF or another firm I don't know. I completely understand the value of recruiters in the business world. I think sports has different elements to it that don't allow you to treat it like a traditional business when making hirings. IMO a football team needs to be run by football people first, not a bunch of suits. They have to be football people first and executives second. At least on the football side of operations. You can hire all the suits you want for the business side of things but the GM needs to be a football guy first. And I think you are probably right. They didn't make the hire themselves. They brought the candidates to Woody and he made the decision. And being a suit, Woody went with the suit. I am glad to have Casserly and Wolf in the fold now.

If they're stupid enough to get rid of Dimitroff, then I'd jump all over his ass.
Aggressive GM who will do whatever it takes to field a quality offense.
He's also one of the few who would actually have the balls to make a move for Mariota/Winston.

With Dimitroff, I think Cooper would basically be guaranteed to be the pick if we stayed put. We're talking about the same guy who made one of the biggest trades in recent draft history to move up for Julio Jones. He certainly values offense, that's for damn sure.

Cooper is the pick no matter what. We can't afford to gamble on another very questionable QB who will most likely bust. Get some fucking pices to work with already and go from there. We'll still need a real #1 WR. Cooper is much more of a safe bet. And we fucking SUCK with our gambles.

Agreed about Dimitroff. I'd bring him in if let go. He can acquire talent, it's not his fault the team is soft.....

Besides, didn't he trade his entire draft to move up for Jones? Isn't that the samething many JI's poster complained about regarding Tanny? Only asking because for all those moves, Atlanta made it to only 1 NFCG when it was the #1 seed in the NFC a few years ago (and still lost). At least we have 2 AFCG appearances.

LOL. Korn fucking Ferry. Hiring an NFL GM is not even similar to hiring an exec for one of the thousands of random companies that are looking for talent. You don't use a head-hunting firm for that (obviously). Inb4 "the Seahawks did it!!1!"
