The only thing worse than an 0-8 team is an 0-8 team with dysfunction that’s readily available for public consumption. It appears Joe Douglas agrees.
The New York Jets‘ inexperienced general manager took the Zoom stage Tuesday and met the challenge head-on—a challenge that requires a calm hand and gut-wrenching patience.
Douglas did everything in his power to ensure no chaotic headlines could be piled on to a start that matches Rich Kotite‘s 1996 squad. This includes shouldering the blame in any regard possible.
“My message for the fans is we’re all frustrated with where we are right now, but everyone in this building has to own it,” Douglas told the media Tuesday afternoon at his midseason presser.
