NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Douglas filled out his front office staff with some familiar faces who have plenty of NFL experience.The New York Jets general manager hired Rex Hogan as the team’s assistant GM Parris Campbell Jersey , Chad Alexander as director of player personnel, Phil Savage as senior football adviser and Chris Nolan as a college scout.The team also announced Wednesday that Douglas promoted Greg Nejmeh to director of pro personnel, Dan Zbojovsky to director of personnel operations and Kevin Murphy to assistant director of pro scouting.The Jets signed Douglas to a six-year contract on June 7, three weeks after Mike Maccagnan was fired as GM. He went right to work in bringing in some experienced executives, a few whom he had previous working relationships.“I am excited to add these four talented men to our group,” Douglas said in a statement posted on the team’s website. “They will help us find the right players as we continue to develop our culture. You need to build depth in an organization at all spots and that includes the front office.“Greg http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-bobby-okereke-jersey , Dan and Kevin are bright football minds who I’m happy to work alongside. We have a lot of good people here and this is only going to help us collectively move forward.”Hogan was Indianapolis’ vice president of player personnel the last two years after serving as the Jets’ director of college scouting in 2015-16. Back again in New York, he’ll serve as Douglas’ right-hand man while helping manage the Jets’ pro and college scouting departments. Hogan also worked in Chicago as a college and national scout.Alexander spent the last 20 years with Baltimore, including the last nine as the Ravens‘ assistant director of pro personnel. Douglas worked with Alexander in Baltimore when he was in its front office from 2000-14.Savage is a longtime NFL executive who has worked in the front offices of Baltimore — where he spent five years with Douglas — Cleveland and Philadelphia. Savage was the Browns‘ general manager from 2005-08, his second stint with the team. He was also the executive director of the Senior Bowl from 2012-18 and general manager of the Arizona Hotshots of the Alliance of American Football.Nolan was a player personnel scout with the Eagles since 2016 after working a year as a personnel assistant with the Ravens.Najmeh was the Jets’ coordinator of pro scouting last year and has served in several roles in the scouting department with the team since 2009. Zbojovsky has worked 12 years with New York, including the last 10 as the college scouting coordinator. Murphy was a pro scout the past two seasons after stints with Buffalo and Houston the previous nine years. The bizarre bashing of Kyler Murray‘s lack of preparation for Combine interviews, coupled with the eventual revelation that former NFL G.M. Charley Casserly gets paid to prepare players for Combine interviews Khari Willis Jersey , has placed Casserly generally on the unofficial PFT pay-no-mind list. But he recently said some things about the Jets G.M. job that merit presentation and discussion, because Casserly served as a consultant in 2015, when the Jets hired Casserly friend/protégé Mike Maccagnan.In an interview with Matt Stypulkoski of NJ.com, Casserly tried his best to talk up the work of the guy Casserly was paid to recommend to ownership, pointing out how bad the roster was in 2015 and how much better it is now. (It’s abundantly clear that Casserly isn’t a Geno Smith guy — apparently, like Murray Josh Allen Jersey , Smith also isn’t a former Casserly client.)If Casserly is hired again by the Jets to consult in the G.M. search (, pick the next G.M. from his roster of friends and former colleagues), Casserly apparently won’t be recommending Peyton Manning.In response to the inquiry of what he thinks of the idea of Manning as G.M. of the Jets, Casserly said, “My feeling is there’s plenty of qualified candidates out there that are working with clubs.”“And he would not be one of them?” Casserly was asked.“That’s my quote,” Casserly replied.Casserly overlooks the reality that this isn’t a hire that can be made in a vacuum. A clean-slate G.M. would arrive with a list in his front pocket of the names of coaches he’d like to hire http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jawaan-taylor-jersey , when the first opportunity to hire a coach arises. And that would lead to even more dysfunction as G.M. and coach struggle for power.On the other hand, a hand-picked Gase G.M. could be excessively beholden to the coach, deferring to him on matters of personnel even if the G.M. arrives with contractual final say.Manning could be the perfect compromise, a friend of Gase’s who has worked well with him in the past and, presumably, would work well with him in the future. Gase has displayed during his short time as a coach a degree of intensity and irritation that not everyone can handle. Manning can handle it Josh Oliver Jersey , because Manning is likely one of the few who could channel Gase’s burning desire to win in the right direction.Also, let’s not overlook the basic reality that people tend to have different approaches when interacting with others. And Gase presumably exhibits to Manning a degree of deference that Gase may not grant to many others.That makes it an ideal arrangement, if the Jets can pull it off. So take the advice from this unpaid consultant (the Jets are getting their money’s worth), spend the money to get Peyton Manning, if he’s truly ready to make the plunge back into football.
