Coaching New York-area professional teams never has been a path to job security, but we are close to a milestone in insecurity — with the Jets’ Todd Bowles seemingly the only remaining hope for the football/baseball coaching/managing fraternity.
For all of the firing and hiring drama in Gotham over the decades, never has there been a single sports season in which the Mets, Yankees, Giants and Jets all replaced their field leaders.
(NFL coaching departures in early winter count as part the previous calendar year, for the purposes of our little discussion.)
Terry Collins and Joe Girardi are gone, Ben McAdoo appears to have only seven weeks of misery left and Bowles is in limbo at 4-6 after a yucky loss in Tampa stalled his NFL Coach of the Year campaign.
