The New York Jets announced that the team’s general manager Joe Douglas has been fired, just weeks after the team let go of head coach Robert Saleh amid a struggling season.
In a press release from Jets’ owner Woody Johnson, he said that Douglas would no longer be with the AFC East team, which has a record of 3 and 8 after coming into the season with Super Bowl aspirations.
“Today, I informed Joe Douglas he will no longer serve as the general manager of the New York Jets,” 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,” the statement added. “We will begin the process to identify a new General Manager immediately.”
