Woody should sell this guy controlling interest in the Jets if it means getting him here as GM.

I'd hope he'd at least listen to us. We are not that bad, are we? If he interviews, woody has to make this happen.

Who knew that he was The Carver all along?

I know it's a long shot, but if you're DeCosta, are you prepared to wait another 5-10 years for Ozzie to step down and for you to get your chance?
It's not even like Ozzie is that old. He's 58.
Polian was still the GM in Indy when he was 70.

Hopefully he's had enough of waiting around for Ozzie to step down. And I agree, DeCosta has been one of the most highly sought after GM candidates for the past decade. If he accepts the interview, then you throw the fucking bank at him and guarantee that he gets a minimum of 4-5 years on the job. BAM! That's the thing. Baltimore has been a model of stability over the years. Low turnover in both the Front Office and coaching staffs. Ozzie has been there forever and the path is clearly laid out for DeCosta. The Jets invite him to interview at an organization that had an ownership change in 2000, and since then is searching for its 3rd GM and its 5th head coach. Quite honestly, I'd probably decline as well.

Aren't we due some good luck? God can't hold a grudge this long can he?

Quite honestly, I'd probably decline as well. I still don't buy the argument that the Jets job isn't appealing. You're talking about a team in the New York market that could potentially have as much as $60 million in cap space and the 6th overall pick in the draft. There also won't be any of this bullshit mandating the next guy to keep the current HC.

Ian Rapoport #Jets are expected to make a significant push for #Ravens assistant GM Eric DeCosta, per source. Many have tried for the respected executive
Yes, make this happen Woody! Open the checkbook, give him full control, a promise of no meddling.

I don't think it's unappealing but we're talking about DeCosta, a premiere front office guy who has the pick of the litter if he wants it. For a guy with seemingly unlimited choices I think the Jets are lower on the list than other places. Everything you stated is valid, there's opportunity here with Cap $ and picks, but this place is not a model of stability. Firing Idzik was the absolute right thing to do but to some people, it will give them pause. He was fired after only two years, was never able to pick his own coach, and even though the '14 draft looks disastrous it is nowhere near being able to fully evaluate it. Unrealistic, but if somehow McDougal and Shaq Evans become starters, Pryor sticks as a solid S, and maybe Amaro blossoms into a Top 5 TE then it doesn't look so bad. My only point is that taking the GM job with the Jets could be perceived as risky....and for someone who doesn't need to take a risk, why do it?

I'm not seeing how firing Idzik after two years would make us viewed as a team of instability. The Jets kept Bradway as GM for 5 years. They kept Tannenbaum for 7 years. They brought back a HC who had missed the playoffs each of the previous 3 seasons. It's not like we're the Raiders or Browns who seemingly change HC's and GM's more often than most people change their underwear. If DeCosta declines to interview, then it just shows that he really is committed to Baltimore.

My only point is that is that taking the GM job with the Jets could be perceived as risky....and for someone who doesn't need to take a risk, why do it? You logic, as I am interpreting it, is that the Jets fans could turn on him if things don't get better quick (IE a draft takes a little longer to develop etc) and that could hurt his long term employment opportunities. Few things I take issue with on that: 1. There is a tremendous air of credibility with DeCosta due to him being groomed by a successful franchise in a personnel role that Idzik didn't even come close to having. It will buy him more time with the fans automatically. 2. Even if things didn't work out immediately and he is stupidly fired early...I would like to think that NFL circles are smarter than fans and would recognize that the Jets are idiots....he would have a STRING of offers waiting for him. Point: He would have to objectively fuck up (Scheduling conflicts with premier free agents, noted organizational communication/dysfunction) for him to lose credibility...that would also be the case if he stayed with the Ravens. Not really seeing the problem here.
