The announcement from CEO Christopher Johnson comes just 4 days after head coach Adam Gase denied a possible rift between him and Maccagnan, saying it \u201cpisses him off\u201d when media creates rumors with no proof. Today we found out those rumors must have been somewhat true, because after just four seasons, and 5 drafts, they are parting ways. Maccagnan failed to build a playoff caliber roster during his time in New York, but many believed he was starting to turn the team around. As a former director of college scouting, he missed on many draft picks outside the first round, including quarterback Christian Hackenberg and wide receiver Devin Smith in the second round. The timing of his firing is questionable, as they fired Todd Bowles in January, but retained Maccagnan, letting him draft one more time. Gase will step in as interim general manager, and Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 VP of Player Personnel Joe Douglass has been discussed as a name to replace Maccagnan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Jets have fired GM Mike Maccagnan and VP of Player Personnel Brian Heimerdinger, league sources told <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeffDarlington?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jeffdarlington<\/a> and me.
