I think that Tannenbaum was Jets biggest problem. I mean, there is no way that Ryan wanted Tebow. If he wanted Tebow, they would have used him. I think Tannenbaum have done what he wanted and didn't give a **** what Ryan wanted.
Other Black Monday casualties:
KC: Romeo Crennell (HC), Pioli has yet to hear on his status
JAX: Gene Smith (GM)
CLE: PAT SHURMUR(HC), TOM HECKERT(GM)
SD: Reports saying Turner & Smith are on the out.
ARI: Reports saying GM Rod Graves is on the way out, Wisenhunt will meet with ownership today as well.
PHI: Andy Reid (HC)

Agreed, plus he has left them in salary cap hell for the next year or two.

Actually, their biggest problem has always been and always will be Woody Johnson. Luckily, he's not going anywhere.
I can't believe the Jest would give everyone a belated Christmas gift of Rex (nice feet) Ryan for another year! This is one organization that keeps on giving. Lets hope for another dirty Sanchez season next year.
In a year that included the Tim Tebow insanity, Mark Sanchez's gruesome underachievement, and the expression "butt fumble" becoming forever a part of the football lexicon, Monday's decision to keep Ryan and fire Tannenbaum was the Jets' worst moment of 2012.
Hey -- happy New Year.
The Jets had two choices: Take a deep breath and retain both Ryan and Tannenbaum -- a duo that won more games than they lost in their four years together -- or fire both. The one thing they shouldn't have done was attack the issue piecemeal.
The decision was very simple, but the Jets messed it up in "butt fumble" fashion.
Ryan and Tannenbaum should've been attached at the hip.
Ryan worked hand-in-hand with Tannenbaum on shaping the Jets. He had more power than most head coaches.
Ryan was convinced Sanchez had the talent and personality (which is laughable to think now, after Sanchez's postgame press conferences this year) to handle New York and thrive. He wanted to draft Sanchez. He pushed for Tannenbaum to give him that contract after speculation arose that the Jets wanted Peyton Manning.
Ryan wanted Tebow. He wanted to run the ball and get back to "ground and pound," and he envisioned Tebow as a threat in the red zone, in short-yardage situations and in the Wildcat.
Remember the toxic Jets locker room in 2011 and all the finger pointing that was part of that season's collapse? Ryan thought Tebow could help the locker room. That's a fact.
Yes, Tannenbaum was on board with the trade. But Ryan, who shares an agent with Tebow, drove the bus.
Tannenbaum wanted to sign Chad Henne to be Sanchez's backup. The Jets did, in fact, sign Drew Stanton before the Tebow trade. After the Tebow trade, Tannenbaum did right by Stanton, dealing him to the Indianapolis Colts. As it turned out, Stanton would've been the best quarterback on the Jets' roster this year.
Ryan hand-picked Tony Sparano as his offensive coordinator to run the ball. As Ryan told me, "I wanted to find the mirror image of me." It was an unmitigated disaster. The Jets' offensive line was the worst it had been in years. Ryan wanted Dave DeGuglielmo as his line coach. Ryan told me on SiriusXM this summer that he knew DeGuglielmo was his guy when he saw him kick over a garbage can, showing fight. Garbage, as it turned out, was the ideal metaphor.
Expect more garbage in 2013. The Jets have 7 picks in the top 10 of each round, but that will just make it a greater challenge for them to screw things up. And screw it up, they will, as long as Woody and Rex are there. Never underestimate the power of stupidity combined with ego.
As Schein notes:
Quote:
Ryan, meanwhile, got to keep his job, even though he can't coach, manage, or properly evaluate players or coaches.
What legit general manager candidate would take this job and inherit Rex?
Beautiful stuff. Happy New Year, indeed. Read it all, and enjoy.
