New York Jets sack general manager Joe Douglas amid nightmarish season

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

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

New York entered its bye week on Sunday with a 28-27 loss at home to the Indianapolis Colts.

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

This season started 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).
