The New York Jets hired Mike Maccagnan as General Manager (01/13/15) and Todd Bowles as Head Coach (01/14/15). Maccagnan, the only candidate brought back for a second interview, brings expertise in scouting and personnel. This is a huge step forward as the Jets have hired GMs with salary cap experience only in the recent past. New head coach Todd Bowles is the former defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. Bowles was the Jets defensive backs coach back in 2000, hired by then GM Bill Parcells. Each will report directly to owner Woody Johnson as opposed to the normal head coach to GM to owner structure. I feel good about the hires and looking forward to the future.
