New York Jets Fire GM Joe Douglas Just a Month After Also Axing Robert Saleh Amid Terrible Season
Jets Clean House After Another Disappointing Year
The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas, the team announced Monday. The move comes just a month after the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh.
The Jets finished the 2022 season with a 7-10 record, their fourth losing season in a row. The team has not made the playoffs since 2010.
Douglas was hired by the Jets in 2019 after spending seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was tasked with rebuilding the Jets' roster after the team went 5-11 in 2018.
Douglas made some notable moves during his tenure, including drafting quarterback Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, the Jets have struggled to find success under Douglas, going 20-33 in three seasons.
The Jets are now searching for a new general manager and head coach. The team is expected to interview several candidates for both positions in the coming weeks.
What's Next for the Jets?
The Jets are now in a full-scale rebuild. The team has a lot of holes to fill on both sides of the ball. The Jets also have a lot of cap space to work with, so they should be able to make some big moves in free agency.
The Jets are hoping to find a general manager and head coach who can turn the team around. The team has a lot of potential, but they need to find the right people to lead them.
The Jets are hoping to be competitive again soon. The team has a lot of young talent, and they should be able to make some noise in the AFC East in the coming years.
