FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In what is becoming an annual tragicomedy, the New York Jets admitted another huge organizational blunder, firing coach Adam Gase after only two years. It was a questionable hire that turned into an 9-23 disaster. You know things are bad when you're clowned in a "Saturday Night Live" skit, which happened last month.
As the Jets begin the all-too-familiar process of searching for a new leader, they would be wise to follow three points of advice:
1. Ignore any recommendations from Peyton Manning.
2. Let general manager Joe Douglas do the hiring.
