Jets fire general manager Joe Douglas as dismal season continues: Reports

The New York Jets’ attempt to salvage another season has resulted in another major shakeup.

General manager Joe Douglas was fired on Tuesday, more than halfway through his sixth season with the organization. ESPN first reported the decision.

The news followed another crushing loss for the Jets, this time a one-point loss to the Indianapolis Colts at home on Sunday. It added to the team’s growing frustration after a brutal 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Tuesday’s shakeup was owner Woody Johnson’s latest attempt to reboot what he and others believed was a Super Bowl team. Head coach Robert Saleh was fired last month five games into the season, but the Jets went 1-5 after defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich stepped in as interim head coach.

Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, once considered a main draw in acquiring Aaron Rodgers, was subsequently also stripped of his play calling duties and handed the reins to passing game coordinator Todd Downing.
