New York Jets sack general manager Joe Douglas amid nightmarish season

The New York Jets’ season of upheaval continued Tuesday with the reported firing of general manager Joe Douglas.

The Jets (3-8) fired head coach Robert Saleh on 8 October and are 1-5 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.

New York headed into their bye week with a 28-27 loss at home against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Douglas, 48, signed a six-year contract to become the Jets GM in June 2019. Since then, New York has compiled a record of 30-64 with zero playoff appearances, continuing a drought that dates back to 2010.

This season began with Super Bowl aspirations as four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers returned from an achilles injury. Instead, the offense ranks 26th in the NFL in scoring (18.5 ppg) and yards (294.4).
