New Jets general manager Joe Douglas discusses the types of players he seeks, the importance of culture and his philosophy on team-building in a Q&A chat with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: Who are GMs in any sport who you admire?
A: Growing up in Richmond, and growing up at the time of the Fun Bunch and the Hogs — it was Redskins where I grew up — I always admired how Bobby Beathard was aggressive in acquiring players, and how him and [coach] Joe Gibbs worked together. I always thought it was pretty unique how Joe Gibbs was out front, but Bobby Beathard was able to be more behind the scenes and build the team.
