The Jets parted ways with longtime GM Mike Maccagnan earlier last month, raising a few eyebrows and drawing some unnecessary attention to their front office disputes publicly. While some fans may have taken the firing as a welcomed attempt to save the franchise, all was not lost, and hiring inexperienced Joe Douglas could turn out to be a move the Jets will regret.
While Douglas has certainly to be given the credit of building a successful culture in Philadelphia as VP of Player Personnel, his GM tenure experience remains at zero years to his name. General managers take on the full accountability of winning and losing based on the players they select, and other team operations which will be new to him at a whole new level.
