Es ist eine Tradition, den Montag nach dem letzten Regular Season Spiel in der NFL, dafür zu nutzen sich von erfolglosen Generalmanagern und Headcoaches zu trennen. Im letzten Jahr hatten 7 Coaches und 5 GM’s ihren Job verloren.
In diesem Jahr verloren bisher, der Headcoach der Jets Rex Ryan und sein GM John Idzik den Job.
After extensive thought and reflection about the current state of our football team, this morning I informed Rex Ryan and John Idzik that they will not be returning for the 2015 season. Both Rex and John made significant contributions to the team, and they have my appreciation and gratitude for their efforts and commitment. Over the years, Rex brought the Jets a bold confidence and a couple of great post-season runs, which all of us will remember.
I am beginning our search for new football leadership, effective immediately, with guidance and support from respected football experts, including Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf, two Super Bowl winners with decades of valuable experience.
We will consider all options to improve the Jets.
Getting the Jets back on track is my top priority, and today’s decisions are important steps towards achieving our goals.
Weiters musste auch Atlanta’s Coach Mike Smith, nach der gestrigen Niederlage und der somit verpassten Playoff-Teilnahme, den Hut nehmen.

Auch der so zuversichtliche Headcoach der Chicago Bears Marc Trestman und sein GM Phil Emery mussten ihre Plätze räumen.
