Coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik were fired early Monday morning, the first casualties of the New York Jets' fourth straight year out of the playoffs.
A group of fed-up New York Jets fans hoped to raise $10,000 to put up a billboard near MetLife Stadium to implore owner Woody Johnson to fire general manager John Idzik. It took them less than a week to reach their goal.
General manager John Idzik took the blame Monday for the New York Jets' 1-7 start, calling his performance "unsatisfactory," but showed support of embattled coach Rex Ryan.
The New York Jets introduced wide receiver Percy Harvin on Monday, calling him a dynamic player that could galvanize their moribund offense.
Jets owner Woody Johnson scolded Geno Smith for cursing at a heckling fan, calling it "unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable," but he said the organization still believes the embattled quarterback will develop into an elite player.
New York Jets cornerback Dimitri Patterson tells ESPN that the Jets' allegations that he went AWOL for 48 hours last week are "completely false."
