It appears Woody Johnson's worst nightmare is about to become reality. Giants and Falcons are the front runners for Harbaugh. Two NFL teams 'believed' to be finalists for John Harbaugh If the Giants get Harbaugh, Glenn and the Jets become an afterthought in this market. Woody's inaction due to his refusal to hire a successful HC will be the reason why the last of the fan base will "let go of the rope". Tik Tok Woody. It's later than you think...
You know he's not going to do that. We have extensive empirical evidence of what he actually does (usually in this order but not always - mix and match as you please): - hire no name coach with no experience - THEN hire the GM in his infinite reverse logic wisdom - draft a young quarterback - stay out of things for the most part for a year or two - when the coach (or quarterback) starts to flounder, and the fans (this is the important part) start to rebel to the point where the Jets are a media circus, he steps in and forces a different direction - USUALLY with a top name (over the hill) quarterback. Sometimes at other positions (see: Reddick) - rinse, repeat The process is so disjointed that you have GMs and coaches with different priorities, you have the coach involved in hiring his own boss - who ultimately isn't really his boss anyway because they both report to Woody. If he would AT LEAST just hire a GM and let him do what he needs to do - nevermind a football operations guy - we'd be much better off. But no - he's the very definition of an idiot who never learns and keeps trying the same crap hoping lightning will strike eventually. Sent from my SM-X820 using Tapatalk
Well said…exactly right That’s the crazy thing to me…any person with half a brain could look back and see the pattern and the results it brings and realize that maybe, just maybe, it would be better to try a different approach. But not Woody. He has got to be the stupidest fucking imbecile in the league…if I hadn’t been watching this unfold over the years in real time, and you just explained this chain of events, I wouldn’t believe it. He has literally done this 6 of the last 7 times with rookie DCs, and the one outlier was an idiotic hire of Adam Gase whom EVERYONE knew sucked and was a terrible hire…everyone but fucking Woody and his idiot brother Chris
So in a January where we could have possibly had harbaugh, Tomlin, McCarthy, …. Woodrow Johnson decides it’s best to stick with the db, whose team couldn’t force one int. The coach whose team got historically worse in December. Can’t make it up
If you have no excitement, why do you go? Don’t give Woody money empty the stands embarrass the fuck out of him
Well stated and I agree/feel the exact same way. I go back to the early 1970's and the days of Charley Winner, Lou Holtz, Ken Shipp and the hideousness that was NY Jets football before Walt Michaels took over and turned it around. Back then I had hope because I was a dumb kid. I was one of the 15 idiots sitting in Shea stadium freezing my ass off watching a hideous 3-11 football team lose every game, but at that time, I wanted to be nowhere else! Now, I cannot even watch them and I don't. I used to go to T/C @ Hofstra 3-4 times each Summer, and blow hundreds of dollars on Jets gear. I have not bought anything Jets related in over 15 years due to the embarrassment it carries, nor do I wear anything that has Jets on it, except a workout sweatshirt that I actually wear inside out! They are a disgrace to all sports.
Yup…I go back to the Walt Michaels days as well…in Shea with that damn fucking dirt infield. We’ve always been a doormat of a franchise, but when I was younger I just loved the team. I can’t manage to let go of my fandom even though I haven’t lived in NY since 1986…but I haven’t bought any Jets gear in a long time…
My son got me a Jets hat…18 years ago. That was the LAST Jets “anything.” I wouldn’t give Johnson Jack.
