FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Coach Todd Bowles is a goner. His fate was sealed a few weeks ago with a season-wrecking, franchise-altering, six-game losing streak. The big question hovering over the New York Jets involves general manager Mike Maccagnan, who was hired the same day as Bowles: Jan. 13, 2015.
If the fan base had a say, the masses would be calling him "Mike Mac-can-him." Sorry, folks: The right call is to keep Maccagnan -- assuming the organization maintains its current power structure.
The sense around the organization is that Maccagnan likely will return, but ownership needs to state its intentions quickly because his unresolved role could be an impediment in the looming search for a coach.
