EAST RUTHERFORD -- As bad as things are for the Jets right now—a 1-4 record, four straight losses, games against Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in the next five days, etc.—it doesn't look like either head coach Rex Ryan or general manager John Idzik will lose their jobs before the end of the season, a source confirmed.

"That's not really [owner Woody Johnson's] M.O.," the source said.

News that the Jets are unlikely to can either Ryan or Idzik before the end of the season was first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Here's what Rapoport said Sunday on NFL GameDay Morning on NFL Network:

One other observation from Rapoport:

One reason Jets brought Rex Ryan back last year: They feared he’d be immediately hired as a head coach & make them pay. Same fear exists now — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 12, 2014
