Jets Fire GM Douglas Amid Disappointing Season

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas after four seasons with the team.

The Jets finished 5-12 this season, their fourth consecutive losing season.

Douglas was hired in 2019 after the Jets went 4-12 the previous season. He was tasked with rebuilding the team through the draft and free agency.

Douglas made some early moves that seemed promising. He drafted quarterback Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He also signed free agents such as wide receiver Corey Davis and running back Tevin Coleman.

However, the Jets have not shown much improvement under Douglas. They have gone 15-33 in his four seasons, including a 0-13 record in 2020.

The Jets' offense has been particularly disappointing. Wilson has struggled in his first two seasons, and the team has not been able to find a consistent running game.

The Jets' defense has also been a problem. They have allowed the most points in the NFL in each of the past two seasons.

Douglas' firing is not a surprise. The Jets have been one of the worst teams in the NFL in recent years, and he has not been able to turn things around.

The Jets will now begin the search for a new general manager. They will need to find someone who can rebuild the team and get them back to contention.
