Jets fire Mike Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan 'to remain' head coach

The Jets are making some changes in the wake of their 6-10 finish, but they're not doing a wholesale change: owner Woody Johnson announced Monday morning that general manager Mike Tannenbaum wouldn't return in 2013.

However, Johnson said Rex Ryan "would remain" as head coach for next season.

"This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season. Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship Games, we are not where we want to be, and a new general manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track," Johnson said in a statement. "Rex Ryan will remain the head coach of our football team. I believe that he has the passion, the talent and the drive to successfully lead our team."

So you're the new GM. You run this team. And, oh yeah, Rex Ryan is your coach.

They should have fired Rex too. These owners do not know how to run teams.

Not really. You may see a new GM come in during the season and ride out the rest of the year with the current coach, but usually a GM change in January doesn't come with a head coach already in place for him for next year.

Jaguars are doing the same thing. I have seen it happen before won't be the first or last time it happens.

Correct - not to mention that Rex is completely overrated. Jets are going the wrong way...
