Are you serious? Elhai has been there to make money for the team and has done a fantastic job - that's why he's still there. Johnson bought it for what? $650 million? It's now worth nine billion! He should be fired for that? If you guys can a restaurant you'd want to fire the bartender because the chef made crappy food even if the bar was full every night of the week.
If said bar had a toxic culture you are fucking right! The ENTIRE organization is a shit show. Dude, I could go in there and flippin' print money. The NFL PRINTS money. Trust me, it has nothing to do with Elhai and anything "special" he's doing. You can hire any ole' marketing "dick" to come in and work an NFL team. Shit, from a marketing standpoint, gotta be the easiest marketing money ever made! Look, something in that building stinks. If the stench isn't leaving with coaches and players then it is SOMEWHERE else. Now, as I've stated over and over and over, yet clearly must state it again, if Johnson is the stink then there IS NO HOPE!!!!! What, you think some 70+ year old asshole is going to change the way he does business? I don't think so. It's also a better than average bet his kid is just as bad. Maybe not, but only time will tell that tale. Unfortunately, half this board will be either dead or infirm before that happens so...
I think you nailed it on the head…Woody IS the stink. HE is the one with final say on all key hires, and probably meddling quite a bit in too many player personnel decisions also. I also agree that there is nothing we can do about this. And I also agree that his kid is almost certainly no better than his idiot dad. I think the owners who are long time family owners, like the Rooney’s, the Hunt’s, etc. are good owners…I think the business guys who have actually built businesses are better set up to be good owners because they know what it takes to build something, to make it successful, to understand how to evaluate and nurture talent. But owners like Woody, who are just lucky to have been born into great wealth, are probably the worst possible owners…they have no sense of hard work, no sense of how to build anything, they just have an entitled sense of their own value. Which is not much outside of being born into the right family. So yeah, we’re basically fucked…
I don't either. Problem is we're sitting on 15 years and going BACKWARDS. It would be one thing if I saw some progress this year but, right now, nothing looks like we aren't staring at LEAST 2028 in the face before the team is in the conversation of being COMPETITIVE. I hate to drag reality into the equation but 2028 is a long damn way off and, the way things are going, we'll be LUCKY if we're not in some form of Civil War somewhere in this country. The racists are going to go quietly and I fear this entire situation is going to become a crap ton worse. Football will be the LAST thing on anyone's mind. However, until that does/does not happen, the NY Football Jets fans' are staring straight at 2028 before we have something to really cheer about.
Why is it so confusing for you that the guy who does all the revenue production has nothing to do with the football operations? The Jets are in the top three of NFL teams in value, I think, and that's what the guy gets paid to do. I suppose you want him scribbling plays or analyzing combine stats. Why knock a guy who has been around since the beginning and is responsible for tickets, advertising, partnerships, even naming rights and making a ton of cash at it. You lose all credibility when you say the entire organization is a shit show - it clearly is not, even as the football side clearly is. You picked the wrong guy to whine about this time.
Why is it lost on you that EVERYONE in that building has something to do with that team!!??!! ALL of them!!!! Full STOP
