NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — It wasn’t long after Todd Bowles was fired as the Jets’ head coach that frustrated fans started asking the inevitable question:
What about Mike Maccagnan?
The general manager was hired a day before Bowles in 2015, the two linked together — but separately in the team’s reporting structure — for the next four seasons that featured lots of losing and disappointment.
A few hours after completing a 4-12 season, Bowles was fired Sunday night by Christopher Johnson, the team’s acting chairman and CEO, who opted to keep Maccagnan in place.
