New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers did it with pinpoint accuracy: not a pass, but a prediction.

“If I don’t do what I know I’m capable of,” he said in May after an offseason workout, “we’ll probably all be out of here.”

Out: General manager Joe Douglas, fired Tuesday.

Out: Coach Robert Saleh, fired on October 8.

Demoted: Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, stripped of his play calling on Oct. 10.

In a few months, Rodgers could be the next man up.

The Jets, who lured Rodgers out of obscurity nearly two years ago, are now in the dark and headed for a total reboot this offseason.

One by one, owner Woody Johnson takes control of the family business and takes out the heads of his organization to start a new era. He’s running out of people to shoot, but you never know what could happen. There are six weeks left in perhaps the most disappointing season in franchise history.

Six weeks ago, Johnson called this the best roster he’s had in 25 years as an owner. On Tuesday, he gave up the selection and presented the architect, Douglas, with a pink slip.

In 2025, the Jets will have a new general manager, a new coach and possibly a new quarterback – which would be an unprecedented trifecta for them. Johnson fired Douglas early enough to get a jump on the GM search, which appears to be becoming competitive.

Johnson hasn’t commented on his plans, but the traditional route would be to hire a GM, who hires the coach. However, that is not set in stone. If Johnson covets Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson (no relation), who could be the hottest head coaching candidate, would he give him more authority than the GM? Other teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, use this structure.

Woody Johnson hasn’t hired a coach or general manager since 2015, when he brought on board Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan at the same time. (Consultants Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf were heavily involved in that process.) The most recent coaching (Saleh and Adam Gase) and GM (Douglas) hires were handled by vice chairman Christopher Johnson, who led the team while his older brother served as manager served. the Ambassador to the United Kingdom (2017-2021).

If Woody Johnson returns to the same post in Donald Trump’s second administration, which is possible, the expectation is that he will stay there long enough to institute a new Jets regime before heading to London. Christopher would return to the role of acting owner. It might make sense to bring in someone with fresh eyes – a football operations chairman – to help rebuild the front office. Former Jets great Curtis Martin, who has maintained NFL connections through his business ventures, would be a popular choice. His name has created some buzz on social media.

The new boss (or bosses) will walk into a building demoralized by losses and layoffs. One person close to the situation described it as a “miserable” atmosphere and said Douglas was probably happy to get away from it for a while.

Johnson had become increasingly involved in personnel matters, several people close to the situation said. It was Johnson who demanded security from Tony Adams before last Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, they said. It is highly unusual for an owner to be so involved. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich offered only a cryptic explanation for the benching, saying, “There’s a lot of different things involved and I’d rather not go into it.”

Woody Johnson thought replacing Saleh with Ulbrich, the popular defensive coordinator, would spark a turnaround after a 2-3 start.

He thought wrong. Since then, the Jets are 1-5, with a once-proud defense that is now among the worst in the league (24th in points allowed since Week 6). Johnson thought he was handing Ulbrich a broken Ferrari that just needed fixing up; in reality, it needs a complete overhaul, starting with the quarterback.

Rodgers, who turns 41 on Dec. 2, has not played anywhere near his previous level and ranks 24th out of 31 quarterbacks in Total QBR. He’s signed for next season, but it appears he and the Jets are headed for a mutual parting. One person familiar with Woody Johnson’s thinking said he would be “shocked” if ownership brings Rodgers back in 2025.

Rodgers may not want to return. He came to New York to play for Douglas, Saleh and Hackett, and it’s hard to imagine him wanting to continue playing for a new coach and learning a new system.

In April 2023, Douglas made the largest trade in franchise history by acquiring Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. He thought Rodgers would do for the Jets what Tom Brady and Peyton Manning did for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos, respectively.

Since the trade, the Jets are 10-18.

Everything changed on September 11, 2023, when Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in his first game with the team. Just bad luck. Nothing has been the same since then.

Douglas, who was hired in 2019, can’t say he wasn’t given a fair chance. He got five-plus seasons (record: 30-64), outlasted two coaches (Gase and Saleh) and got a reprieve for his biggest mistake: drafting quarterback Zach Wilson second overall in 2021.

Not many GMs get a second bite of the quarterback apple, but Douglas, whose contract expired at the end of the season, switched from Wilson to Rodgers, figuring the quick fix would make things right. But as the four-time MVP said, they would all be gone if he wasn’t playing at his best. Everyone knew the stakes.

All or nothing.

Nothing has been gained.
