Jets fire Joe Douglas six weeks after dumping Robert Saleh
NY Post
One of the most disappointing seasons in Jets history has now led to the team firing both its head coach and general manager.
The team fired GM Joe Douglas on Tuesday. This comes after owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8.
Douglas has been the Jets GM since June of 2019. He finished with a record of 30-64 as the GM.
Senior advisor Phil Savage, the former Browns GM, has been named the Jets interim GM.
“Today, I informed Joe Douglas he will no longer serve as General Manager of the New York Jets,” owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. “I want to thank Joe for his commitment to the Jets over the last six years and wish him and his family the best moving forward. Phil Savage will be the Interim General Manager for the remainder of the season. We will begin the process to identify a new General Manager immediately.”
Douglas’ tenure will be remembered for some huge misses like taking quarterback Zach Wilson at No. 2 overall in 2021 and drafting tackle Mekhi Becton in the first round in 2020.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
