playtowinthegame Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just now, Warfish said: Likely all depends on the election. According to NFL inner circles, Woody Johnson is expected to return to the Jets in November 2020, regardless of the results of the Presidential election. ^ Sounds like he's ready to come home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Chris has kind of been worse, hasn't he? I know I was excited at first glance with Chris, but the product has declined(or continued the decline) under his watch. Both of them are inept, so I'm not defending Woody, but him coming back isn't exactly snatching the franchise from a wunderkind. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be real. While not in the weeds, Woody is completely informed of and is a partner in making all decisions. His return to NJ doesn't change anything, better or worse.

Adoni Beast Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Woody has definitely been involved but at a limited basis, as his current role is a busy one doing nonsensical meetings with the British political elite. But I am of the belief that the only reason Gase hasn’t been fired yet, is because Woody sees this as an opportunity to win some favorable fandom for himself. Gase is a goner, everyone including himself probably knows it. Woody is waiting to come back and pull the plug and look like a hero for firing someone he “didnt hire.” Little Chrissy Fredo is going to be the scapegoat when Woody returns (not that it will matter at all, just press). None of this matters if the next coach is another dud, Sam is ruined beyond repair, and/or we aren’t in line to draft his replacement. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I was excited at first glance with Chris, but the product has declined(or continued the decline) under his watch. Both of them are inept, so I'm not defending Woody, but him coming back isn't exactly snatching the franchise from a wunderkind. Chris clearly has no balls and zero decision-making skills. What he does well is interact with the players and foster a more family-we’re all in this together atmosphere that was severely lacking with the NYJ prior to Chris being involved in day to day ops. Woody was always known as aloof and disconnected from the team, making weekly visits during camp and the season. Whereas, teams like the Steelers see the Rooneys there DAILY. Chris definitely bridged that gap and it was a positive. Woody’s a dunce too don’t get be wrong...but less of a dunce than Chris when it comes to decision making and definitely has more of a competitive fire in him...at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Ambassador of the United States of America to the UK he's not allowed to have any day-to-day control over the team. He handed control to his brother Christopher on November 8th, 2017. We're coming up on the 3 year anniversary. I expect some fireworks once he lays his brass balls on the table. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 “We have discussed my role when I come back … it will remain larger than my pre-ambassadorship role,” Christopher Johnson said. “But exactly when any of that happens is unknowable at this point.” Christopher has taken complete control of the team since his brother’s departure in 2017, when he made it clear that Woody “isn’t involved” in the football decisions the team is making. Christopher made the call to hire coach Adam Gase in January of 2019, and defended his coach on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Who cares if Woody is coming back or not? He is a clueless owner who is responsible for this disaster of a franchise. The Jets is a toy to him and his brother. I understand that owning an NFL team does something for your ego, but that the fans want to get rid of you and rightfully blame you for years of mismanagement,- doesn’t that count for anything?Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
