Yeah I think both of them get a pass for this year under the circumstances, unless things get really embarrassing(i.e. they lose out in ugly fashion).
Next year, they gotta at least make the playoffs and win a game. No excuses. It's been too long.
In 75 games as the Jets GM, Joe Douglas is 24-57, for a .320 winning percentage.
In 43 games as the Jets HC, Robert Saleh is 15-28, for a .349 winning percentage.
Things had gotten embarrassing for them before Rodgers ever became a possibility for the Jets, and they're writing yet another chapter of embarrasment with this season. You are what your record says you are.
What, exactly, do these two men deserve a pass for?
