He contributed to the franchise\u2019s Super Bowl championship run in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining the Eagles, Douglas spent one season as the Chicago Bears\u2019 director of college scouting (2015). This was preceded by 15 seasons as a scout for the Baltimore Ravens (2000-14).<\/p>\n<p>New York fired Douglas on November 19, 2024, after the team entered its Week 12 bye with a 3-8 record. This came six weeks after the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas was hired as the Jets\u2019 general manager in June 2019, but the team had already gone through free agency and the draft led by Mike Maccagnan. Douglas\u2019 first full offseason as New York\u2019s GM came in 2020, beginning a five-season run as the team\u2019s head decision-maker.<\/p>\n<p>Despite occasional glimpses of competency, Douglas ultimately finished his Jets tenure with abysmal results across a half-decade. The Jets went 25-59 across his five full seasons, never making the playoffs or finishing with more than seven wins.<\/p>\n<p>After he was fired by the Jets, Douglas spent some time <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/04\/25\/ny-jets-joe-douglas-jahmyr-gibbs-bombshell\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a media role<\/a> with FOX Sports, specifically focusing on the 2025 NFL draft.
