Teams do bring in consultants all the time but in most cases to help with the draft/free agents or provide knowledge they may have about other teams. I don't believe this is for those purposes.
One thing I think is guaranteed is the new person will be a football guy as opposed to a financial guy. Having done that twice should have made Woody conscience of his mistakes.
from what i've read, Casserly is being brought in to help Woody with hiring a new coach and/or GM if Woody decides to make a change. maybe this is a matter of semantics, but it doesn't sound like Casserly will help Woody evaluate Rex and/or Idzik. although one can deduce that Woody wouldn't bring someone in to help hire a new coach and/or GM unless Woody has already decided to replace the existing coach and/or GM

Casserly won't be part of the evaluation of Ryan and Idzik. Sources stressed that Casserly would be retained only if Johnson decides to replace Ryan and/or Idzik, but the fact that he reached out to Casserly is a strong indication the Jets are preparing to start over.
one thing to look out for is that Casserly serves on an nfl advisory committee that is charged with helping teams identify coaching and GM candidates, especially minority candidates. so i think this may increase the odds of a Todd Bowles or Pep Hamilton (who i think are 2 very worthy candidates, regardless of skin color)
I think everything Hobson says here is 100% spot on. We don't know who is going to be replaced and how long Casserly will be here, but his profession is replacing Head coaches and GMs...not a good sign for either...even if we keep Idzik, woody trusts Casserly with helping Idzik replace Rex, which is t a strong endorsement of Idzik. The fact he even contacted Casserly says beyond of what MAY be coming.
Cy'r right, Casserly may be here to spoon feed Idzik and help clean house, but the fact Johnson didn't trust Idzik to do it on his own after sitting in the chair 2 years is telling.
I do think the likelihood of the entire front office being let go is more likely than Idzik staying.
This offseason is already starting off with a bang, the guillotine already is assembled, and the line will form shortly.
I think those who think Idzik won't deservedly be in the guillotine line are in for a rude awakening. They generally do not bring in a short term replacement (which is what this looks like)...unless you're going to be replaced. I believe the writing is on the wall.
There's a difference between saying a guy will be fired, and saying a guy doesn't deserve to be fired yet. The two are entirely different.
But yes, I agree that it appears the angry mob (among other people who don't like Idzik) will gets it's wish of Idzik being let go.
