The Jets are the definition of disjunction and this season is no
different than any previous one since Joe Willie took them to victory
in Super Bowl III. They have spent the last few weeks getting rid of
their likeable formerly fat coach and their unlikeable never fat
general manager but haven't officially done much else. Although all
the talk is that they will officially hire Mike Maccagnan as their
next GM, the news on the head coaching side have been pretty quite
since the whispers about their desire for Dan Quinn were leaked.
The problem is that Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator for the
Seahawks, is still coaching and by NFL rules cannot take a job until
after his team has been eliminated. He was able to speak with teams
during his team's bye week but cannot speak again with potential
suitors until the week between the conference championship and the
SuperBowl for teams to give him their 2nd interview
This is all boring crap but what is interesting is that by letter of
the law the Denver Donkeys can't speak with Quinn next week if the
Seahawks advance because, unlike the Jets or 49ers or Falcons, they
did not have a first interview. See the NFL rule books states that
you can only have your second interview in that week but there is no
way the Broncos could have had a first interview because their season
wasn't over yet during the week they could have done so.
This is obviously blatantly unfair and a ridiculous rule but as a Jet
fan, any less competition for the only guy out there who isn't the NFL
equivalent of a the chick who has banged the entire marching band is
welcome news

Quinn is going to the Falcons, assuming that any team is patient enough to wait till after the Super Bowl.
Jets just hired Todd Bowles.
