Joe Douglas Fired

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I was rooting for the guy to succeed, not as a Jets fan, but as a Spider.

That said, it was the right move. They are a dumpster fire.

Joe put all his chips on that washed up,vastly overpaid QB.Didnt pan out.

McShay defending his fellow Spider alum and teammate. Also love the helmet he has in the background 😉



Elio Imbornone, a media personality with Barstool sports and who has over 100K followers on Twitter, is also a spider alum who is defending Joe.



Picture of Elio with Joe Douglas. Love the UR representation in the sports and sports media world.

Sorry for Joe, good dude. Writing on wall after the Saleh firing. I expect he'll land back in someone's NFL personnel dept.

Nice tweets. They have his back.

Elio owns a great family restaurant in West Roxbury (Boston). 1 of the campus bookies back in the day at UR too...total fit at Barstool! McShay is another close Barstool connection with Portnoy even tho not employed there.

maybe this is the year they write a blog on how Mooney is the worst rivalry coach of all time....wink wink.

Cursory google search shows that McShay, Douglas, and Elio may have all been spider football teammates in the late 90s

They were. Same with Dave Cooney.

Joe is stand-up guy, grew up in my hometown. Always been a solid good guy, wish him the best.

Not a Jets fan, but the reality is that Douglas was doing what Johnson told him to do for the last couple years, so it's hard to really pin much of the news on him IMO. He won't be looking for a job for long.
