This is my prediction:
No matter who the Jets hire as GM and/or Coach, there will be multiple people who will post on this site complaining about it and pontificating on why the hires were wrong. They will point out all the warts and other shortcomings of whoever is hired. They may or may not make a case for why they themselves are more qualified to choose the Jets' next GM/HC than Woody Johnson, or Charlie Casserly, or Ron Wolf, or Vince Lombardi, or Knute Rockne, or whoever. (Or, "Rock Knutne" as Seminole wide-out Kez McCorvey once said.)
If the Coach is hired first, they will say that the GM should have been hired first.
If the Jets wait to hire the GM first and, in the meantime, some other team hires a coach - those same fans will whine about the "coach who got away". If that coach fails to win anything for the rest of his life, these posters will never mention the fact that they wanted the Jets to hire him. If, however, that coach wins anything within the next 15 years, be it a division title, a wildcard game, or - God forbid - a Superbowl, they will jump on here to instantly to remind you how they told everyone that the Jets should have hired that guy.
They will post that same message in multiple threads, over and over and over again, in CAPS, in italics, bolded, in different colors, with all sorts of emoticons after it.
:smiley-finger007::smiley-score008::fat-white-cat-shaki
We all know who they are.
And, they will predict Failure. They will boldly (yet, anonymously) predict that the Jets will NEVER win a Superbowl with those two clowns. Whoever those two clowns may be and whatever order they were hired in.
And, they will probably be right. Since 1920, there have been 448 head coaches in professional football in the U.S. (NFL, AFL, and post-merger combined). Of those coaches, 52 won a championship of some sort. That's 11.6%.
In other words, 88.4% of all coaches hired by any professional football team, ever, have failed. Regardless of whether they were hired before their respective GMs or after.
So, it's not exactly going to be groundbreaking or insightful when those posters predict failure. And then repeat again and again, in thread after thread after thread, what they would have done had they owned the team. And they will reminds us over and over that they are smarter than the rest of us and smarter than all of all the combined brainpower of everyone involved in professional football at any level.
We all know who they are.
