The Jets started their hunt for a new head coach and GM before firing Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan, according to Manish Mehta of the Daily News and Ben Volin of the Boston Globe (Twitter link).

Maccagnan, exec Brian Heimerdinger, and agent Erik Burkhardt huddled up with Christopher Johnson at his Manhattan condo in late November and early December to discuss the possibility of hiring former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, Mehta hears. Bowles, meanwhile, was not dismissed until Dec. 30.
During that same four-week window, Johnson also had back-channel conversations with at least two established coaching candidates without the knowledge of Maccagnan. Those coaches would have had the power to either keep Maccagnan or fire him in favor of their preferred GM.
Eventually, Maccagnan got his turn in the barrel. The Jets sacked Maccagnan in May, but they reached out to at least one potential GM candidate a week before he was handed his pink slip, according to Volin.
This latest example of the Jets’ dysfunction may give pause to the team’s current group of GM candidates.
All is well as long as they win.
So then all is not well
Lmao
LOL…But this team could improve a lot and I would not be surprised if they are playoff bound.
I don’t understand how or why this is news. Any decent business would have internal considerations about potential replacements before firing somebody, outside of a scandal or inappropriate behavior.
You hit it on the head.
The dumpster fire keeps burning.
