In many ways, New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey is walking into a better situation than Joe Douglas did six years ago.
That doesn’t mean Douglas should’ve stayed with the team after six consecutive losing seasons.
Douglas’ 30-64 record as New York’s top executive speaks for itself. He struggled to find the right quarterback, could never fix the offensive line, and failed to locate a head coach who could lead the team through tough times.
Throughout Douglas’ six-year run with the Jets starting in 2019, the organization has been taught many lessons on roster construction and front office etiquette.
