Just when it appeared the Jets were the stable franchise in town, they reminded everyone no one quite does dysfunction like they do.
Jets CEO Christopher Johnson fired general manager Mike Maccagnan in a stunning move Wednesday, removing a GM the franchise let hire a head coach, spend $120 million in free agency and oversee its draft.
“The more I looked, the more I realized that I wanted to move on,” Johnson said in a conference call with reporters.
It is a staggering move that dents what felt like a good offseason for the Jets and pushes the Giants, Knicks and Mets back in the race for the city’s worst-run franchise.
