After firing their general manager on Monday, the New York Jets are reportedly very interested in the 49ers' director of player personnel. The New York Jets are reportedly high on San Francisco 49ers executive Tom Gamble as the team searches for a new general manager, Albert Breer of the NFL Network reported Tuesday. Breer tweeted: "Also sounds like, early on, 49ers personnel man Tom Gamble is atop the Jets' list. Bill Polian apparently went to bat for him big-time w/NY." The Jets fired general manager Mike Tannebaum on Monday after missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year and have begun their search immediately. Gamble is the director of player personnel for the 49ers and has spent the past seven years with San Francisco. He was originally hired as the director of pro personnel and was promoted in February of 2011. Source: SBNation.com
the jets job would be one of the more attractive jobs because the owner will spend money and the afc east is open for another team to start winning, but apparently the new g.m. is going to be stuck with rexxy boy and that's not an enticement. if i were interviewing and wanted to take the jets job, i would want control over the hiring/firing of the head coach and i would demand a new head coach immediately.
