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."
