"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The New York&amp;nbsp;Jets&amp;nbsp;have fired head coach Rex Ryan and general manager John&amp;nbsp;Idzik,&amp;nbsp;the team announced on Monday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ryan\u2019s tenure ends after six seasons and a 46-50 record. He led the Jets to the AFC Championship game in his first two seasons, but New York missed the playoffs in each of the past four years while compiling a 26-38 mark.&amp;nbsp;This season, the Jets went 4-12, including a 37-24 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ryan, 52, had told CBS during a production meeting before the Jets' game against Miami that he would not be interested in&amp;nbsp;being a defensive coordinator for another team.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;MMQB: What happened With&amp;nbsp;Harbaugh&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;Niners?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Idzik&amp;nbsp;was let go after only two seasons. As the team struggled, fans began voicing their unhappiness with the general manager by purchasing billboards around MetLife Stadium and creating websites that called&amp;nbsp;for him&amp;nbsp;to be fired. A&amp;nbsp;plane towing a \"Fire&amp;nbsp;Idzik\" banner flew over team practices this month.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Both Rex and John made significant contributions to the team, and they have my appreciation and gratitude for their efforts and commitment,\"&amp;nbsp;Jets owner Woody Johnson said&amp;nbsp;in a statement. \"Over the years, Rex brought the Jets a bold confidence and a couple of great postseason runs, which all of us will remember.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Jets will have the No. 6 pick in the 2015 draft, which starts on April 30.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson said that former Green Bay&amp;nbsp;Packers&amp;nbsp;general manager Ron Wolf and former Washington&amp;nbsp;Redskins&amp;nbsp;and Houston&amp;nbsp;Texans&amp;nbsp;GM Charley&amp;nbsp;Casserly&amp;nbsp;are being brought on as consultants.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We will consider all options to improve the Jets,\" Johnson said.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;NFL Black Monday Tracker: Follow all coaching moves\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Scooby&amp;nbsp;Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
