National Reactions: NFL World Puzzled But Not Shocked By Jets Firing Joe Douglas

Former, Current Players And Media Members Weigh In On The Decision

The NFL world was sent into a frenzy on Tuesday when the New York Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas. Douglas had been with the Jets for four seasons, and his dismissal came as a surprise to many. In the wake of Douglas' firing, several former and current players took to social media to express their thoughts on the decision.

One of the most notable reactions came from former Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Marshall, who played for the Jets from 2015 to 2016, said he was "shocked" by Douglas' firing. "I thought he was doing a good job," Marshall said. "He was building the team the right way, and he was starting to get some good players in there."

Current Jets cornerback D.J. Reed also expressed his surprise at Douglas' firing. "I'm just as shocked as everybody else," Reed said. "I thought he was doing a great job. He was bringing in some good players, and he was making the team better.".

Some members of the media also weighed in on Douglas' firing. ESPN's Adam Schefter called it a "surprising move" and said that Douglas "had done a good job" in his four years with the Jets. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said that the Jets' decision to fire Douglas was "a sign that they're not happy with the direction of the team."

While some were surprised by Douglas' firing, others said they were not shocked. The Jets have struggled mightily in recent years, and they have not made the playoffs since 2010. Some believe that Douglas was simply a scapegoat for the team's failures.

Douglas' Record With The Jets

Douglas was hired by the Jets in 2019 after serving as the Philadelphia Eagles' vice president of player personnel.

  • In his four seasons with the Jets, Douglas compiled a 15-37 record.
  • The Jets finished in last place in the AFC East in each of Douglas' four seasons.
  • Douglas made some notable moves during his tenure with the Jets, including trading for quarterback Sam Darnold and drafting wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
  • However, the Jets continued to struggle under Douglas, and they were one of the worst teams in the NFL in 2022.

    • What's Next For The Jets?

    The Jets are now on the lookout for a new general manager. It is unclear who the Jets will hire, but they are expected to cast a wide net in their search.

    Some potential candidates for the Jets' general manager job include:

  • Former Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey
  • Former Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard
  • Former Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier

    • The Jets are hoping to find a general manager who can turn the team around and lead them back to the playoffs. It remains to be seen who the Jets will hire, but they are hoping to make a splash with their next hire.
