Jests tried to reassign Rick Dennison to be a scout so that he would quit & they don't have to pay him

“It’s legal, but it’s B.S.,” one general manager said. “It’s a Jets move.”

 

“It’s the weasel factor,” a league source said. “Nobody wants to work for a weasel organization.”

 

“They owe him the money,” one league source said. “Don’t think other coaches aren’t watching stuff like this. They need to resolve it. They need to stop being the Jets.”

Man the Jest are a train wreck.  Not sure why anyone would work or play there.  The exceptions would be for them to ridiculously overpay for someone like they did CJ Mosley or give someone a job at a much higher level than they warrant, like they did with Adam Gase.

When Ralph fired Wade Phillips and tried not to pay him, that sullied the Bills' reputation for years, or decades.  The NFL is the Never-Forget League.  

 

The Pegulas are a much classier combo than Ralph (and they don't employ Lippman, hurray!) and the success of McBeane has transformed the Bill's reputation.  

 

The Jets are going to struggle to get competent coaches for years to come.  Serves them right, too.

It's probably not Gase behind this move.  It would be the GM or the owner, since Gase has been around the NFL long enough to know how bad a move this is.

I hope if  it’s true, the rest of the league knows how they treat people, and nobody worth their salt would ever take a job with them. 

 

(Sucks for him, but I can’t change that. Keep taking the money to just piss them off, if you can!) 

 

 

I’d probably clean toilets for what he’s making!

 

The hard part about scouting is it may wreck his family life, and that is VERY cruel and uncool.

Who is Lippman?

How Ralph Like. Maybe this should be a poll worst Owner Ralph Bills, Terry Sabres and Johnson's & Gases Jests

 

Some quotes:

"Although the Jets technically followed the letter of Dennison’s contract that included a reassignment provision, teams typically don’t attempt to force a coach to quit by telling him they’ll move him to a scouting position that they don’t actually want him to take to save money.

“It’s legal, but it’s B.S.,” one general manager said. “It’s a Jets move.”

 

"Why does this matter?

 

Coveted coaches with options will think twice about the wisdom of choosing to work for an organization engaged in a year-long battle to wiggle out of an agreement that supposedly was made in good faith with a coach.

 

“They owe him the money,” one league source said. “Don’t think other coaches aren’t watching stuff like this. They need to resolve it. They need to stop being the Jets.”

Ten of the 11 GMs, NFL executives and agents contacted for this story believed that the Jets employed underhanded measures to avoid paying Dennison. One source subscribed to the caveat emptor line of thinking: Buyer beware when dealing with the Jets, whose culture is shaped by too many non-football voices."

Bit of a nit correction: it's past tense, "tried".  Dennison spent 2019 as an assistant with the Vikes - after Gase came in and the Jets pulled this crap in the 2019 off season.

Gase does have some expertise regarding incompetence.  In fact, he also has some considerable experience with incompetence.  Just when Jests fans think they have seen it all, their team pulls something new and unique to confound everyone.  You couldn't make this stuff up.

Yes, they hired Rex Ryan even though everyone knew he'd wreck the Bills and set them back four years .. but they paid him, Goddammit!!!

Not sure how we have room to laugh.  This was our OC in 2017 who was fired after one season.


Me thinks you missed the context of the thread...

How long do you have to be around the NFL before you learn it's a bad idea to throw your players under the bus?

No, the part people are laughing at is that he isn’t being fired. They are trying to move his office to the basement and take his stapler instead like in Office Space.

Eh. They lost to the 2-14 Bengals and got annihilated by Baltimore.... they beat absolutely no one throughout that 8 game stretch.... Another reason the Bills don’t get much credit for their 10-6 record this season from some due to their similar cake walk schedule and failure to beat anyone really good.

 

 

NE got annihilated by the Ravens and lost to Miami.

 

Point is that it's become automatic to knock Gase, while ignoring that he took that team from 2-6 to 6-2 in the 2 halves of the season.

Which AFCE team went 6-2 down the stretch?

Did you even look at who they played down the back half? They had to play the same easy teams that we beat earlier in the year. Not impressed. Got destroyed by Baltimore and lost to the hapless tanking bungles.. Beat the Bills backups by one score.....
