New York Jets HC/GM Search: Quinn the Favorite, Marrone Out?
By Scott Salmon
Jan 5 2015, 6:35p
According to Chris Mortensen on SportsCenter, Dan Quinn is the favorite for the New York Jets head coaching position. Mortensen also stated that Doug Marrone doesn't have much of a chance, despite reports to the contrary that stated he was an early favorite. Both candidates have already been interviewed.
It seems as though the team has been asking both their head coaching and general manager candidates who they would like to work with. In a sense, they're killing two birds with one stone. Armed with this information, they can bring in a combo at once, without having to conduct consecutive searches.
According to Mortensen, Quinn has said he doesn't want to work with Trent Kirchner because he doesn't believe he's a personnel guy, for whatever that means. It's slightly confusing since Kirchner has a heavy scouting background, so I'm not quite clear on what that means exactly. Perhaps he means more players already within the NFL, as it relates to free agency and such. We do know that Quinn wanted George Paton, who is out of the race and declined to be interviewed. Regardless, I'm quietly deleting all of my Kirchner/Quinn tweets and articles.
It's all shaping up as a highly entertaining process. It seems as though the team is being significantly more aware of the pairing between HC and GM. Last time around, they forced the HC on the GM. This time, they're being more careful to find a match.

I don't see how the hell Kirchner doesn't qualify as a "personnel guy".

Good deal. I'm really excited about the prospects of Quinn if this comes true. Paired with Mueller or macagnan makes lots of sense.

We got no HC and no GM so who is leaking this shit? It's gotta be one of the two old farts right?

@jasonlacanfora: Jets still have more candidates to speak to, but I hear Doug Marrone's interview with them did not go well. Dan Quinn well positioned now

If Kirchner has truly been Schneider's right hand man for the last 5 years and played a major part in Seattle drafting the likes of Wilson, Sherman, Thomas, Chancellor, Wagner, Wright, Maxwell, etc...then I don't see why he wouldn't at least have a fucking amazing scouting background in a short period of time.
No team has been better than Seattle at building through the draft the last 4-5 years.
They've been fucking amazing at finding not just talent, but all-pro talent in the mid-late rounds.

So Mortensen says Marrone's interview was excellent but he doesn't have much of a chance, and other reports are that Marron's interview was terrible.
Stupid goddamn reporters trying to get the jump on one another when they don't even know jackshit.

So Marone interviewed well. And by all reports was liked by Woody. And now he's out? Because?

If this is the case, we'll probably have to wait a bit, but we should have a GM in place by then.

This thread had me excited at first because I thought we were starting to get a clearer picture. The reports, however, are conflicting (as usual) and the picture is still murky at best. Who do we still plan to interview? Have we interviewed the guy from the Texans yet?

I think Quinn is probably the front runner, to many reports now about Marrone tanking. If Quinn doesn't want Kirchner, that is likely enough for me. He has seen up close and personal what the guy does and doesn't do.

If quinn does become our next HC, iam really curious who he will bring on board with him? Iam wondering with him being new in the HC game will he beable to surround himself with good quality coaches? Like how Marrone would beable to do if he was hired.Ijust wish they hurry the hell up FA and the draft is quickly approching us..
