Dykstra says Mets should fire Collins, replace him with Howard Johnson

Former Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra thinks the Mets should fire Terry Collins and hire his former teammate, Howard Johnson, he told Christian Red of NY Daily News.

Following the Mets' loss to the Rangers Monday, Dykstra was critical of Collins and said the Mets should get rid of him before the season is out of reach.

"Terry Collins has lost the team, and the players have no confidence," Dykstra said. "It's pretty obvious. It almost seems like he's managing from a textbook."

"HoJo was a major league coach for five seasons (with the Mets)," Dykstra said about Johnson.
