25 years of Woody Johnson's ownership has given us the following: Only one division title 14 consecutive seasons not qualifying for the playoffs 5 General Managers 7 Head Coaches 4 First Round Quarterbacks (only one who wasn't an undeclassman- Chad Pennington) 8 winning seasons (out of 25!!) 2 8-8 seasons 15 LOSING SEASONS!!! Only 1 home playoff game in 6 playoff seasons. I can go on and on... Jets fandom is just so painful. Please make it stop!!!
Bill Belichick (whom i obviously despise) said it perfectly, with woody, its always “ready, fire, aim” i am not spending a dollar on the jets org - tickets, merch, etc - til woody is gone. If they get Dan Snyder out, we can get Woody out.
I can't comment on the owner without straying into politics, and I don't want to do that with sports. Suffice it to say I agree with you 100%. I'm reminded of the introduction to the game Satisfactory, where the corporate slogan is "Ficsit: Short term solutions to long term problems."
Why not, every other sports league has taken it upon themselves to stick their noses into politics. And by politics I mean “supporting any imbecilic and braindead trash Democrat cuz that’s what I was told to do”.
Fun fact, when Leon Hess was selling the team Woody Johnson was vying with James Dolan to purchase the Jets. It's a big reason why Bill Belichick decided to "resign as HC of the NYJ".
Woody Johnson is a business man His angle is seats filled jerseys sold instead of focusing on football he is focused on how to fleece the fans We have had uniform changes logo changes that makes money it doesn't build a teams character and culture of winning He believes his money is his football IQ and thats the weakness of the franchise he has made this a toxic organization and until he faces reality it will always remain this way
He's not even that good a business man (a potato would be as effective with the fortune Johnson inherited), and it shows in how he runs this team. He was also poorly regarded in his time as US Ambassador to the UK, displaying little in the way of diplomatic acumen. A deeply average bloke who just happens to be hugely wealthy despite his moderate abilities.
If we can't fire him, why not hold accountable? Do whaat the White sox fans did, put pressure on their owner and now he spoke to the press about selling the team.

Boycott home games. Crowd fund the stadium employees and game vendors (they all a minimum wage people). Make a statement the NFL can’t dodge. Respect the fans!
Brother, I just subscribed because you are the only one in the game who will talk about this. Let me say this Johnson is the executive producer of this biggest shit show on earth. He hires directors who are willing and able to after the A-list actors who are past their prime but still sell tickets. He needs these actors to cover up the shit script these writers have. Johnson does not care about winning he only cares about making money. There is more money to make in losing than there is in winning. When this team wins performance, bonuses need to be paid, and players who are up for new contracts want that big money at resigning . Johnson knows this team has stupid loyal fans who will spend and keep spending even when this team loses. Johnson knows what he is doing and is the best , it's just not what the fans think he should he doing. As for hope , my man, you are spot on. I saw the writing on the wall after Rex left. He stock piles picks in the 15, so fans feel this team has a chance. Honestly, tho you do understand the Jets place in the NFL? How did the Jets ever become an NFL team? These questions have a lot to do with why this team sucks so badly. Awesome job !
It's really easy to understand how Woody feels about the fans and the players by looking at the stadium and the turf. One leaves the fans drowned on wet days whilst the other injures his players. That's it. The only way to get rid of Woody is to convince outside investors that the Jets are massively underperforming and yield significant potential for growth. That shouldn't be difficult. Because the other Owners are more loyal to the $$$ than they are to each other
In my opinion, Woody Johnson acts more like a game show host than an NFL owner. For years we have heard the Jets are only a QB away. We now know we are much farther from the playoffs than we were told. The Jets aren't a team; they are a group of individuals who play together. The Jets aren't an organization; they are a group of people with certain job titles whose responsibilities can be re-aligned and re-assigned based upon one person's whim. Bill Belichick, discussing Saleh's firing, said the Jets has slightly over 30% winning percentage over the last decade and somehow believed the problem was the head coach. When looked at from Belichick's perspective, Saleh was not the problem (certainly not over the past decade), the owner was.
You'd think a quarter of a century of minimal success in a league designed to allow every team a chance at the top (theoretically) and the ownership being the only constant it would be obvious ownership is the problem
It's amazing how teams with terrible owners have terrible luck. Just look at Washington--they got rid of their terrible owner and a couple seasons later their luck improves and they're winning. It's almost like there's some mystical, arcane connection. Maybe the Jets should put a professional fortune teller on the payroll.
Many years ago we got a whiff of there's something wrong with Woody when Belichick turned down the HC job. Who in their right mind does that and why would they do that? In the last few years we started to get internal leaks confirming what many had suspected that the owner was deeply involved in the day to day football decisions. Like Woody would call Saleh on a daily basis to give suggestions. This year with the firing of Saleh without consulting with the GM. Most recently revealed the Reddick negotiation was directly with the owner not the GM. I think he's been behind the scenes running the team like Jerry Jones. He only hires GMs and HCs that allow him to have full say over football decisions. I'm sure the Rodgers trade and subsequent actions that have undermined the coaches and gm is the reason this team doesn't function like a team. They're just a collection of mercenaries.
I've been saying that Woody and Cgris Johnson need to sell the New York Jets for at least 10 years. Those two have no clue on how to run and manage an NFL team. *AZJETSFAN*
Jake Asman said on his show today that Detroit didnt change ownership yet theyre clearly a juggernaut....but they actually did change ownership from old man Ford/Martha Ford (1964-2020) to Shelia Ford Hamp (2020-present). They could never win with Martha or the old man. The biggest difference was when Shelia took over in 2020 she fired everyone...then brought in football minds like Chris Speilman who then hired Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell. Ownership is everything.
I completely disagree about building through the draft. They tried that, once he missed on Zach and the team showed promise, the smart move was to get a veteran quarterback. The Texans, Lions and Commanders have all shown it doesn’t take 5 years to turn around a roster. This mess is mainly on the feet on the overrated GM
Now that my Locked On Mets mornings are over, glad this is the first Locked On Jets I'm tuning into. You're right, we have to face the music, the issues start at the top, this team has not been built the right way and it's not gonna lead to success. But I've seen this movie before. If Jim Dolan of MSG can start lucking into good front office hires and learn to stop meddling despite being a dumbass, maybe the Johnsons will too, eventually.
His interests are not winning . Gave up “ ownership to his brother , who picked players with horrible GM while he was ambassador. He sucks bad . He should talk to Kraft to see how it’s done . Get bill b here . NOW . He likes Rogers . If if if you want a SB
He’s Terrible. you are 1000000% Correct. He me medals too much and it’s not this year as you point out I’m sick of we all should be I hate that we can’t do anything about he need to sell. Very very very Well Said John.
As a lifelong Jets fan, I’ve been saying this about Woody Johnson for years. Look at two of our former quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Geno Smith-neither are All-Pros, but they’ve proven to be solid enough to win elsewhere. I felt that the same mistake was made with Zach Wilson, with the right nurturing, could’ve been the next Aaron Rodgers. But whether or not they’re mishandling Wilson, the bigger issue is that there’s no clear plan and no patience. The team is a complete disaster. The only power we fans have is to stop supporting them-boycott Jets merchandise, stop attending games, and cut off anything that generates revenue for them. I’m officially done being a Jets fan until we get new ownership. Boycott the Jets.
I will never disagree that the Jets are bad at developing young players, but I'm not buying the Geno Smith / Sam Darnold were diamonds in the rough story. Both QBs had failed seasons with 2 other teams before landing with their current teams and finding success. Some QBs need time to develop; it's very rare for a QB to succeed their first few years with a team believe it or not. Zach Wilson is currently riding the pine in Denver as a 3rd string QB with a very good QB friendly coach. Remember he was supposed to sit behind Rodgers last year and learn, but that plan got blown up 4 plays into the seasons. Maybe he'll be burning up the league 5 years from now.
Dedicated Jets fans need to revolt against this crappy ownership. Don't show up their home games anymore so Woody Woodpecker will get the message and can sell the team to someone who knows how to run a sports team. Someone like Hal Steinbrenner would good.
In my opinion it’s the impatience of sports writers and fans in New York. There’s teams out with head coaches who there for 5 to 10 years and more. Looks at all the ex NY coaches that’s doing well elsewhere, y’all want a team to win yesterday without time developing a culture. They were on the right track till they fired Saleh.
This current slide started when they fired Mike LaFleur. He was growing as an OC, and the offense looked great esp. when Zach wasn't starting. Look at the Cleveland game in '22 or the Bears game or the Vikings game. The offense has not looked that good since. When you give up on people like LaFleur and bring in worse talent at OC bc of Rodgers, you completely undermine everything that you were trying to build.
The Jets had a 7-4 record (hard to belive!) but lost lost the last 6 games of the '22 season and it was clear the offense was inept. OL and Breece injuries and Zach Wilson contributed to all that, and LeFleur was hired as a rookie OC (which probably wasn't the best idea). It looks like the Jets plan was to hire Hack in order to lure Rodgers, and that was doomed from the start. Saleh was almost forced to fire LeFleur.
@@jerseymetalmike5111 I was re-watching the '22 Vikings game. Goodness. That offense was light years ahead of this one, and this offense has far superior talent.
The jets were the same when Leon Hess was the owner. The problem is from a higher power. The franchise is cursed and sports curses do exist! The curse of Joe Willie Namath is real
The fatal flaw of the Jets is they cant develop a young quarterback. Totally agree you need 4 or 5 good coaches to develop young players across the whole team. The Jets offensive coaches stink. Saleh and Ulbright obviously did a good job but now Saleh is gone and Ulbright has been promoted out of the position he was successful in. What a mess!
And the constant has been Woody Johnson. I don't totally agree Woody Johnson is pushing hope. I've been at this so long(fan since '67) that skepticism and doubt are permissive. Ergo "Same Old Jets." Even a highly touted Joe Douglas draft picks have not been stellar or even close. Giving up precious draft picks for aging players makes no sense. Or rewarding aging players for contributions that they made to their prior teams. The Jets don't seem to develope players or give them the tools to succeed. Getting rid of players that contribute for nothing. eg. John Franklin-Myers. Or getting aging Aaron Rodgers has lost a lot on his fastball. eg. a pass that doesn't reach the receiver or an interception that would never have happened if the ball had more zip.
Woody is a caricature of a trust-fund billionaire playing with his toys. Never had a job, never built anything in his life, but thinks he's an expert at running an NFL team.
Woody was gone for 5 years and we still sucked! I think a lot of it is that he has picked the wrong ppl to run the team…I agree we are absolutely cursed, that goes without saying. Since Mr. T we have had TERRIBLE GM’s that has resulted in brutal draft picks (even when we stack picks) I am not a Woody fan by no means BUT Woody has done all he can do…JD has been a terrible GM that has picked terrible coaching to develop players…now we are in a spot where this experiment will set us back a decade!! We could easily be winning games and nobody would be talking negative BUT it is not clicking bc we are a bunch of individuals…not a team! Who is going to come coach here? Nobody! The next 5-10 years are going to be horrible!
Do you think commercial land in NY is easy to come by. Also if Dolan got the West Side Stadium blocked, he would have pulled the same stuff for any other stadium
if a particular presidential candidate wins in two weeks, then it is entirely possible woody may be gone for another four years so that means in the offseason, chris will be in charge and he is the one that hired saleh….
Woody spends money on the team. But it seems Woody will not properly vet and hire an experienced, qualified Head Coach with at least some track record with managing a winning football team (NFL or College). All successful NFL teams have very good Head Coaches (like the Steelers HC as a recent example). Woody seems to hire only Assistants with Zero Head Coaching experience. My opinion is that he does this as he only wants Head Coaches that will do EXACTLY what he wants -- total subserviency to him. And we can see how that is working out. It's a total disaster. Unless the above changes, I frankly do not see much hope for the Jets. The management formula being used by the Jets is just going to result in more of the same -- Continued Losing. I wish I could be more optimistic.
I think when Rodgers went down on play four, everyone got a mulligan. This wasn't supposed to be another Zach Wilson team. If Rodgers is healthy we probably go at least 10-7 and maybe better. Does Saleh "deserve" to get fired then? Was it Saleh's fault we didn't have a backup QB? Are you going to go to Saleh and fire him and say "Sorry, you were supposed to have a HOF QB but you went 7-10 with Zach Wilson again, so you're gone. We probably still could have gone 10-7 if we had a play caller that worth a dime, but we had Aaron Rodgers BFF calling plays for Zach. Is that Saleh's fault? For that matter, is it Saleh's fault that they drafted Zach? Is it Saleh's fault they threw Zach into action right away because they didn't have a veteran on the staff to let him learn behind. Is it Saleh's fault Greg Knapp died? I disagreed when Woody cut Chad Pennington for Brett Favre, and was proven right when the Dolphins won the division with Chad. THIS was really when the downfall began. Mangini was doing alright. The two championship games Rex got to coach were with Mangini's roster. If we'd kept Chad we'd have won the division that year. Instead, Manginious got fired and Rex is brought in. We shouldn't have gone for Favre, who never wanted to the here. We didn't;t need him. That wasn't the case this time. We had no QB. Zach was a bust. I would have liked Derek Carr, but the truth is, he wanted no part of NYC and our media circus. Getting Rodgers was a bold move that gave us a shot at being a playoff team. It spared us drafting another rookie and waiting another 3-4 years for him to develop. If he stays healthy last year, who knows what happens? I'm curious to know how you would have handled the QB situation then. You complain that Woody's firing Saleh shows that he doesn't have the patience to let things develop. But you yourself said you wanted to fire Saleh after last season. And who would you have hired? You've got Aaron Rodgers at QB, and his buddy calling plays, and neither of those two guys are going anywhere, so...who wants that job? The only smart move was to blame the 7-10 season on Rodgers getting hurt. We probably should have won 3 or 4 more games even with Zach, but Saleh doesn't;t call plays. Joe Douglas spent considerable resources upgrading the O line. You run it back and hope Rodgers gets us to the promised land. And since you're giving Saleh one more shot, then when the press asks you back your guy. You don't throw him under the bus. But now you blame Woody for saying nice things about Saleh and then firing him after 5 games? Woody was probably convinced to let Saleh have one more go, but after 2-4 he couldn't contain himself. I would have let Saleh run out the season. I think he was going to make the move to Downing himself. I think we've had a pretty tough early season schedule with road games at SF, Pitt. and (technically) Minnesota. We beat NE and Tennessee. The Denver game is the one that really hurt. Zuerline makes a FG and we win. Saleh's fault? Then Minny. Rodgers throws 3 picks including a pick 6. We lose by 6. Saleh's fault? Even after Saleh, Rodgers throws a pick 6 or as near as you can get, when we were up 15-6. Total momentum shift. Ulbrich's fault? From my perspective YOU are the one who doesn't have the patience to see a project through. After the Texans game our schedule isn't that tough. @Buffalo may be the only really hard game left. I still think we can finish 10-7 and make the playoffs. You call getting Davante Adams "selling hope". I call it making a commitment to win in year when we're supposed to be all in. Woody isn;t giving up on this year season, and neither am I. Beat the Patriots!!!
What are u gonna do? Fans or cities shud own teams not private individual. U shud treat sports team like pop band/singers/actors. If u dont like them, as fans u can boycott, dont waste ur time and money
He’s incompetent no doubt but he IS trying . Trying being a Pirates fan with an owner that doesn’t even try hiding the fact that he does not try or care to try to build a successful team
Changing our ownership isn't an option, so I don't see the point of your griping. Chris Johnson hire Joe Douglas and Douglas hired Saleh and both were the correct decisions. See my post above/below?
It’s just Woody being Woody. He’s a senile billionaire turning everything to sh_t. It’s all a joke to him. The Jets haven’t been to a Super Bowl since Nixon’s first term 57 years ago. 😂😂😂😂😂 Boycott the home games. Crowd fund the stadium workers and venders. All of them an underpaid and shouldn’t suffer. Make the NFL respect the fans, it’s not about the billionaire owners. Who gets laughed at when the team sucks? Crying children, women and full grown men?
Woody has to get the hell out and leave jets to a better ownership he doesn't know how to run street vendor he doesn't know the difference between football and bull behind
Rodger goodell needs to have a meeting with Woody Johnson the NFL is a business the Jets franchise plays in a Major market they are not winning what's today would have been better off drafting Mac Jones as a quarterback from Alabama better college resume than Zach Wilson there's no comparison😅
The only way the Jets can become a contender is that Woody Johnson has to put his team in the hands of football people .Start with a team President not named Johnson this person has the power to hire and fire Gen manager.The GM picks the coach ..The team needs and I mean the players have to stop giving up on themselves and stop worrying about our negative opinion of them now
I don't know - Johnson has hire'd GM's recommended by ' experts' , has hired very popular choices like J.D. - who has had not one super mediocre. 50 / 50. W / L season. not one. he was a very popular choice. and W.J. is always OK with signing f.A. to big bucks. see the last 2 seasons desperation with big buck , the Geezer prima donna QB, geezer L. T. etc.
he didn’t earn any of his money and won the genetic lottery has never had to struggle and his money ensured he never suffered any consequences no consequences means no motivation or incentive to change
You are looking for logic where it is scarce. The simple fact is that Woody and AR get together in the dark and whisper about their latest flat-earth conspiracy, shaking their heads in amazement at how everyone else isn't as enlightened.
You guys think you've got it bad with Woody Johnson? Hell at least he wants to win, try being a Dallas Cowboys fan where the owner and his dumbass son prioritize headlines and marketing the brand name over actually winning on the field
What's with the multiple commercials aka sponsor breaks, throughout the video!? Never seen that before and for good reason, super annoying and weird dude! First time on your channel and I liked your insight on Woody here but... I'm not gonna sub due to those breaks, I understand having to put one in there (the great channels put the ad at the end) but even at the start it's all good but... Stopping the video more than once for a sponsor Ad!? Nah lol Go Birds 🦅🏈🦅
Man, why do I keep seeing these comments? Does nobody know anything about the history of this league? Belichick hates this team’s guts, especially the owner. In 2000 he was literally handed the job to coach the jets, but he refused because he didn’t like Woody Johnson when he bought the team. Bill coaching this team will happen the same day there’s peace in the Middle East.
Soooooo you deleted my post that revolves around politics. You DO know that choices that a person makes is a reflection of character and decision making abilities. I guess you are ok with people replying with opinions, as long as they agree with your agenda. And then you delete the rest. Coward. (I expect this will be deleted as well 😉)
Fire everyone, blame the billionaire whose pin got hietsted at the ATM this year. I can't name 1 player on this roster playing up to their potential , maybe # 99 . So.lets blame the guy paying for this debacle, I would love to see you right a few million dollar checks and watch them bounce. Shoulder, Coulder, woulder.same old jets and same old jets social media jumping off the wagon. Sounds like the prime-time game announcers. They kill whoevers losing and talk like the winning teams ready for the superbowl.Such BS.please come up with some solutions ,stop talking about the obvious.
so how is woody at fault first off he gave rogers everything he needed, plus the owner is not throwing stupid int, he gave the QB the power and the weapons his job to get it done. plus woody didn't hire this staff his brother did. I think woody did everything in his power to win by getting adams and and making Joe D sign reddick. people are just lazy and think it's easy to blame the owner, the owner just cut the check. blame the QB his reason were losing not woody johnson
Woody is a complete idiot. Woody is responsible for meddling. The list goes on and on and on. BUT... Geno Smith....10 years in the making Sam Darnold ...6 years in the making That's not really on Woody
25 years of Woody Johnson's ownership has given us the following:
Only one division title
14 consecutive seasons not qualifying for the playoffs
5 General Managers
7 Head Coaches
4 First Round Quarterbacks (only one who wasn't an undeclassman- Chad Pennington)
8 winning seasons (out of 25!!)
2 8-8 seasons
15 LOSING SEASONS!!!
Only 1 home playoff game in 6 playoff seasons.
I can go on and on...

3. Limit purchases of NYJ gear
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Exactly
All of that stuff means nothing. It’s a revenue sharing system
I know its impossible but going to the games should be boycotted
@@michaelmartino16 Right!?!..
But with the media involvement....there is a potential for bad consumer relations....something that the NFL frowns on.
@@michaelrobinson6014 they didn’t care about the Lions and they wouldn’t care now
Theres a reason BB left you at the alter. Woody is that reason
Woody does not know what to look for when it comes to hiring someone because he does not know how to run a business. Everything was given to him.
It's amazing how teams with terrible owners have terrible luck. Just look at Washington--they got rid of their terrible owner and a couple seasons later their luck improves and they're winning. It's almost like there's some mystical, arcane connection. Maybe the Jets should put a professional fortune teller on the payroll.
True. Same with teams. You ever notice far more players get hurt during a game they lost as opposed to when they win?
You build through the draft not mercenaries!
Many years ago we got a whiff of there's something wrong with Woody when Belichick turned down the HC job. Who in their right mind does that and why would they do that? In the last few years we started to get internal leaks confirming what many had suspected that the owner was deeply involved in the day to day football decisions. Like Woody would call Saleh on a daily basis to give suggestions. This year with the firing of Saleh without consulting with the GM. Most recently revealed the Reddick negotiation was directly with the owner not the GM. I think he's been behind the scenes running the team like Jerry Jones. He only hires GMs and HCs that allow him to have full say over football decisions. I'm sure the Rodgers trade and subsequent actions that have undermined the coaches and gm is the reason this team doesn't function like a team. They're just a collection of mercenaries.
I've been saying that Woody and Cgris Johnson need to sell the New York Jets for at least 10 years. Those two have no clue on how to run and manage an NFL team. *AZJETSFAN*
Jake Asman said on his show today that Detroit didnt change ownership yet theyre clearly a juggernaut....but they actually did change ownership from old man Ford/Martha Ford (1964-2020) to Shelia Ford Hamp (2020-present). They could never win with Martha or the old man.
The biggest difference was when Shelia took over in 2020 she fired everyone...then brought in football minds like Chris Speilman who then hired Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell.
Ownership is everything.
Remember when Jets fans paid for a billboard called for the firing of Adam Gase? Time for another billboard to call for Woody to sell the team.
Ive been saying this all along, he needs to sell the jets
I'm 99% sure Jets have the worst won-lost record in the last 20 years. That would easily make Woody Johnson the WORST OWNER
So welll said!!! This a great one you’ve been so spot on late lately!!
I completely disagree about building through the draft. They tried that, once he missed on Zach and the team showed promise, the smart move was to get a veteran quarterback.
The Texans, Lions and Commanders have all shown it doesn’t take 5 years to turn around a roster.
This mess is mainly on the feet on the overrated GM
I've been born into this mess is 1967 and and until something changes I'm done ... I hate to say this but it's true. Very sad.
John b is the man - all time great episode!
Now that my Locked On Mets mornings are over, glad this is the first Locked On Jets I'm tuning into. You're right, we have to face the music, the issues start at the top, this team has not been built the right way and it's not gonna lead to success. But I've seen this movie before. If Jim Dolan of MSG can start lucking into good front office hires and learn to stop meddling despite being a dumbass, maybe the Johnsons will too, eventually.
His interests are not winning . Gave up “ ownership to his brother , who picked players with horrible GM while he was ambassador. He sucks bad . He should talk to Kraft to see how it’s done . Get bill b here . NOW . He likes Rogers . If if if you want a SB
Never could understand why team owners are so involved in with the team day to day operations
He’s Terrible. you are 1000000% Correct. He me medals too much and it’s not this year as you point out I’m sick of we all should be I hate that we can’t do anything about he need to sell. Very very very Well Said John.
As a lifelong Jets fan, I’ve been saying this about Woody Johnson for years. Look at two of our former quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Geno Smith-neither are All-Pros, but they’ve proven to be solid enough to win elsewhere. I felt that the same mistake was made with Zach Wilson, with the right nurturing, could’ve been the next Aaron Rodgers. But whether or not they’re mishandling Wilson, the bigger issue is that there’s no clear plan and no patience. The team is a complete disaster. The only power we fans have is to stop supporting them-boycott Jets merchandise, stop attending games, and cut off anything that generates revenue for them. I’m officially done being a Jets fan until we get new ownership. Boycott the Jets.
I will never disagree that the Jets are bad at developing young players, but I'm not buying the Geno Smith / Sam Darnold were diamonds in the rough story. Both QBs had failed seasons with 2 other teams before landing with their current teams and finding success. Some QBs need time to develop; it's very rare for a QB to succeed their first few years with a team believe it or not. Zach Wilson is currently riding the pine in Denver as a 3rd string QB with a very good QB friendly coach. Remember he was supposed to sit behind Rodgers last year and learn, but that plan got blown up 4 plays into the seasons. Maybe he'll be burning up the league 5 years from now.
Dedicated Jets fans need to revolt against this crappy ownership. Don't show up their home games anymore so Woody Woodpecker will get the message and can sell the team to someone who knows how to run a sports team. Someone like Hal Steinbrenner would good.
In my opinion it’s the impatience of sports writers and fans in New York. There’s teams out with head coaches who there for 5 to 10 years and more. Looks at all the ex NY coaches that’s doing well elsewhere, y’all want a team to win yesterday without time developing a culture. They were on the right track till they fired Saleh.
John B emptying the clip! Love it!
This current slide started when they fired Mike LaFleur. He was growing as an OC, and the offense looked great esp. when Zach wasn't starting. Look at the Cleveland game in '22 or the Bears game or the Vikings game. The offense has not looked that good since. When you give up on people like LaFleur and bring in worse talent at OC bc of Rodgers, you completely undermine everything that you were trying to build.
The Jets had a 7-4 record (hard to belive!) but lost lost the last 6 games of the '22 season and it was clear the offense was inept. OL and Breece injuries and Zach Wilson contributed to all that, and LeFleur was hired as a rookie OC (which probably wasn't the best idea). It looks like the Jets plan was to hire Hack in order to lure Rodgers, and that was doomed from the start. Saleh was almost forced to fire LeFleur.
@@jerseymetalmike5111 I was re-watching the '22 Vikings game. Goodness. That offense was light years ahead of this one, and this offense has far superior talent.
Until people stop buying tickets and merch, nothing will change. Tickets go up every year, even with losing seasons.
The jets were the same when Leon Hess was the owner. The problem is from a higher power. The franchise is cursed and sports curses do exist! The curse of Joe Willie Namath is real
The Curse of the Bambino was real.
Until it wasn't .................
The fatal flaw of the Jets is they cant develop a young quarterback. Totally agree you need 4 or 5 good coaches to develop young players across the whole team. The Jets offensive coaches stink. Saleh and Ulbright obviously did a good job but now Saleh is gone and Ulbright has been promoted out of the position he was successful in. What a mess!
Medillling owners always fail! End of story.
This team gives us too much hype ! It always turns out the same 🤬
And the constant has been Woody Johnson. I don't totally agree Woody Johnson is pushing hope. I've been at this so long(fan since '67) that skepticism and doubt are permissive. Ergo "Same Old Jets." Even a highly touted Joe Douglas draft picks have not been stellar or even close. Giving up precious draft picks for aging players makes no sense. Or rewarding aging players for contributions that they made to their prior teams. The Jets don't seem to develope players or give them the tools to succeed. Getting rid of players that contribute for nothing. eg. John Franklin-Myers. Or getting aging Aaron Rodgers has lost a lot on his fastball. eg. a pass that doesn't reach the receiver or an interception that would never have happened if the ball had more zip.
they wasted that defence with years of wilson salah is to bllame sticking with him
As long as Mr. Johnson own the jets,it will not get any better anytime soon.
Woody is a caricature of a trust-fund billionaire playing with his toys. Never had a job, never built anything in his life, but thinks he's an expert at running an NFL team.
Woody was gone for 5 years and we still sucked! I think a lot of it is that he has picked the wrong ppl to run the team…I agree we are absolutely cursed, that goes without saying. Since Mr. T we have had TERRIBLE GM’s that has resulted in brutal draft picks (even when we stack picks) I am not a Woody fan by no means BUT Woody has done all he can do…JD has been a terrible GM that has picked terrible coaching to develop players…now we are in a spot where this experiment will set us back a decade!! We could easily be winning games and nobody would be talking negative BUT it is not clicking bc we are a bunch of individuals…not a team! Who is going to come coach here? Nobody! The next 5-10 years are going to be horrible!
I know Sheldon Silver and Dolan blocked the West Side stadium but Woody blew it when he didn't stick to his guns and get the Jets their own stadium.
Do you think commercial land in NY is easy to come by. Also if Dolan got the West Side Stadium blocked, he would have pulled the same stuff for any other stadium
WJ can't leave things alone because the Jets are like a toy to Johnson. He just wants to play with his toy.
if a particular presidential candidate wins in two weeks, then it is entirely possible woody may be gone for another four years so that means in the offseason, chris will be in charge and he is the one that hired saleh….
He also hired Gase and fired Mike Macagnan right after the draft.
Woody spends money on the team. But it seems Woody will not properly vet and hire an experienced, qualified Head Coach with at least some track record with managing a winning football team (NFL or College).
All successful NFL teams have very good Head Coaches (like the Steelers HC as a recent example). Woody seems to hire only Assistants with Zero Head Coaching experience. My opinion is that he does this as he only wants Head Coaches that will do EXACTLY what he wants -- total subserviency to him. And we can see how that is working out. It's a total disaster.
Unless the above changes, I frankly do not see much hope for the Jets. The management formula being used by the Jets is just going to result in more of the same -- Continued Losing.
I wish I could be more optimistic.
it starts with a franchice qb
Namath must die for us to get past this. The curse is real!!!!!
I think when Rodgers went down on play four, everyone got a mulligan. This wasn't supposed to be another Zach Wilson team. If Rodgers is healthy we probably go at least 10-7 and maybe better. Does Saleh "deserve" to get fired then? Was it Saleh's fault we didn't have a backup QB? Are you going to go to Saleh and fire him and say "Sorry, you were supposed to have a HOF QB but you went 7-10 with Zach Wilson again, so you're gone. We probably still could have gone 10-7 if we had a play caller that worth a dime, but we had Aaron Rodgers BFF calling plays for Zach. Is that Saleh's fault?
For that matter, is it Saleh's fault that they drafted Zach? Is it Saleh's fault they threw Zach into action right away because they didn't have a veteran on the staff to let him learn behind. Is it Saleh's fault Greg Knapp died?
I disagreed when Woody cut Chad Pennington for Brett Favre, and was proven right when the Dolphins won the division with Chad. THIS was really when the downfall began. Mangini was doing alright. The two championship games Rex got to coach were with Mangini's roster. If we'd kept Chad we'd have won the division that year. Instead, Manginious got fired and Rex is brought in. We shouldn't have gone for Favre, who never wanted to the here. We didn't;t need him.
That wasn't the case this time. We had no QB. Zach was a bust. I would have liked Derek Carr, but the truth is, he wanted no part of NYC and our media circus. Getting Rodgers was a bold move that gave us a shot at being a playoff team. It spared us drafting another rookie and waiting another 3-4 years for him to develop. If he stays healthy last year, who knows what happens? I'm curious to know how you would have handled the QB situation then.
You complain that Woody's firing Saleh shows that he doesn't have the patience to let things develop. But you yourself said you wanted to fire Saleh after last season. And who would you have hired? You've got Aaron Rodgers at QB, and his buddy calling plays, and neither of those two guys are going anywhere, so...who wants that job?
The only smart move was to blame the 7-10 season on Rodgers getting hurt. We probably should have won 3 or 4 more games even with Zach, but Saleh doesn't;t call plays. Joe Douglas spent considerable resources upgrading the O line. You run it back and hope Rodgers gets us to the promised land. And since you're giving Saleh one more shot, then when the press asks you back your guy. You don't throw him under the bus. But now you blame Woody for saying nice things about Saleh and then firing him after 5 games? Woody was probably convinced to let Saleh have one more go, but after 2-4 he couldn't contain himself.
I would have let Saleh run out the season. I think he was going to make the move to Downing himself. I think we've had a pretty tough early season schedule with road games at SF, Pitt. and (technically) Minnesota. We beat NE and Tennessee. The Denver game is the one that really hurt. Zuerline makes a FG and we win. Saleh's fault? Then Minny. Rodgers throws 3 picks including a pick 6. We lose by 6. Saleh's fault? Even after Saleh, Rodgers throws a pick 6 or as near as you can get, when we were up 15-6. Total momentum shift. Ulbrich's fault?
From my perspective YOU are the one who doesn't have the patience to see a project through. After the Texans game our schedule isn't that tough. @Buffalo may be the only really hard game left. I still think we can finish 10-7 and make the playoffs. You call getting Davante Adams "selling hope". I call it making a commitment to win in year when we're supposed to be all in. Woody isn;t giving up on this year season, and neither am I. Beat the Patriots!!!
What are u gonna do? Fans or cities shud own teams not private individual. U shud treat sports team like pop band/singers/actors. If u dont like them, as fans u can boycott, dont waste ur time and money
JETS need to be a corporation owned by the Fans like the Green Bay Packers!
He’s incompetent no doubt but he IS trying . Trying being a Pirates fan with an owner that doesn’t even try hiding the fact that he does not try or care to try to build a successful team
Woody is a con artist.. DECADES OF LOSING.. ND YOU FANS KEEP SUPPORTING THIS.. TOP ENABLING THIS CON ARTIST
Changing our ownership isn't an option, so I don't see the point of your griping. Chris Johnson hire Joe Douglas and Douglas hired Saleh and both were the correct decisions. See my post above/below?
It’s just Woody being Woody. He’s a senile billionaire turning everything to sh_t. It’s all a joke to him. The Jets haven’t been to a Super Bowl since Nixon’s first term 57 years ago. 😂😂😂😂😂
Boycott the home games. Crowd fund the stadium workers and venders. All of them an underpaid and shouldn’t suffer. Make the NFL respect the fans, it’s not about the billionaire owners. Who gets laughed at when the team sucks? Crying children, women and full grown men?
Woody has to get the hell out and leave jets to a better ownership he doesn't know how to run street vendor he doesn't know the difference between football and bull behind
Drafting sucks.. I watch guys pick after Corley playing great. Running back on Bios and Bucks. Couple on SF. Many more I am sure
Get rid of woody Johnson he is a horrible owner!!!!
Rodger goodell needs to have a meeting with Woody Johnson the NFL is a business the Jets franchise plays in a Major market they are not winning what's today would have been better off drafting Mac Jones as a quarterback from Alabama better college resume than Zach Wilson there's no comparison😅
Horrible owner
The only way the Jets can become a contender is that Woody Johnson has to put his team in the hands of football people .Start with a team President not named Johnson this person has the power to hire and fire Gen manager.The GM picks the coach ..The team needs and I mean the players have to stop giving up on themselves and stop worrying about our negative opinion of them now
Woody Johnson is a horrible owner, and a lousy person.
I don't know - Johnson has hire'd GM's recommended by ' experts' , has hired very popular choices like J.D. - who has had not one super mediocre. 50 / 50. W / L season. not one. he was a very popular choice. and W.J. is always OK with signing f.A. to big bucks. see the last 2 seasons desperation with big buck , the Geezer prima donna QB, geezer L. T. etc.
he didn’t earn any of his money and won the genetic lottery
has never had to struggle and his money ensured he never suffered any consequences
no consequences means no motivation or incentive to change
You are looking for logic where it is scarce. The simple fact is that Woody and AR get together in the dark and whisper about their latest flat-earth conspiracy, shaking their heads in amazement at how everyone else isn't as enlightened.
He's almost as bad as Jerry Jones.
Leon Hess then Woody Johnson.
Ugh!
You guys think you've got it bad with Woody Johnson? Hell at least he wants to win, try being a Dallas Cowboys fan where the owner and his dumbass son prioritize headlines and marketing the brand name over actually winning on the field
What's with the multiple commercials aka sponsor breaks, throughout the video!? Never seen that before and for good reason, super annoying and weird dude! First time on your channel and I liked your insight on Woody here but... I'm not gonna sub due to those breaks, I understand having to put one in there (the great channels put the ad at the end) but even at the start it's all good but... Stopping the video more than once for a sponsor Ad!? Nah lol Go Birds
🦅🏈🦅
Get bill bellicheck . Or lose fans . Force the sale . Next
Man, why do I keep seeing these comments? Does nobody know anything about the history of this league? Belichick hates this team’s guts, especially the owner. In 2000 he was literally handed the job to coach the jets, but he refused because he didn’t like Woody Johnson when he bought the team. Bill coaching this team will happen the same day there’s peace in the Middle East.
Soooooo you deleted my post that revolves around politics. You DO know that choices that a person makes is a reflection of character and decision making abilities.
I guess you are ok with people replying with opinions, as long as they agree with your agenda. And then you delete the rest.
Coward.
(I expect this will be deleted as well 😉)
Prove it otherwise. ..
Fire everyone, blame the billionaire whose pin got hietsted at the ATM this year. I can't name 1 player on this roster playing up to their potential , maybe # 99 . So.lets blame the guy paying for this debacle, I would love to see you right a few million dollar checks and watch them bounce. Shoulder, Coulder, woulder.same old jets and same old jets social media jumping off the wagon. Sounds like the prime-time game announcers. They kill whoevers losing and talk like the winning teams ready for the superbowl.Such BS.please come up with some solutions ,stop talking about the obvious.
I'm done with this dysfunctional franchise
Been a fan since the Ken O'Brien era. Being a fan of this team has brought me little to no joy. I don't even know why I bother anymore.
so how is woody at fault first off he gave rogers everything he needed, plus the owner is not throwing stupid int, he gave the QB the power and the weapons his job to get it done. plus woody didn't hire this staff his brother did. I think woody did everything in his power to win by getting adams and and making Joe D sign reddick. people are just lazy and think it's easy to blame the owner, the owner just cut the check. blame the QB his reason were losing not woody johnson
Woody is a complete idiot. Woody is responsible for meddling. The list goes on and on and on.
BUT...
Geno Smith....10 years in the making
Sam Darnold ...6 years in the making
That's not really on Woody
