Jets' new power couple of Gase and Maccagnan aims to reverse tiresome trend

Before Adam Gase and Mike Maccagnan were paired in January, the New York Jets' previous two coach-general manager marriages went something like this:

Let's rewind to 2013. Rex Ryan, say hello to John Idzik, your new GM. He's a salary-cap guy, but we're putting him in charge of all football decisions. Relax, Rex, you'll get along great. His father was a former Jets assistant, just like yours. It's destiny! Outcome: The relationship turned toxic and both were fired two years later.

Now, 2015. Mike, meet Todd Bowles. Todd, this is Mike. You're both getting four-year contracts and you'll be introduced tomorrow at a news conference.
