When uniform changes are a key accomplishment, well...just let that one sink in.

Almost secured the British Open golf tournament to be played at a US owned golf course. Good stuff right there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southparkcpa 7,941 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I’ve been screaming this for over a year. he has NOTHING on a wiki page. he wakes up, has maids, butlers and has done absolutely nothing with his life. His claim to fame is giving away money and hiring Joe Douglas... For those of us old enough to remember he is Dudley Moore’s Arthur . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Willie White Shoes 695 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I think this is beating a dead horse. It appears that the Johnsons have now done the right thing. They hired a highly regarded GM with a great pedigree in Douglas. They cut bait on the disaster that was Gase. They permitted Douglas to head up the coaching search and landed the most coveted HC candidate in Saleh. They changed the organizational structure so that Saleh reports to Douglas. They permitted Douglas to compile draft picks and cap space by not going for the illusory quick fix in 2020. Everything that has happened since January 4th has been positive. In fact, a month ago the football media was speculating that the top QB prospects would pull an Elway/Manning and refuse to play for the Jets. Now the Jets are the preferred destination for Watson (both by Watson himself and the same NFL media that were saying Lawrence should refuse to play here). So in three weeks the Jets have gone from perceived dumpster fire to the "up and coming" franchise and the place to be/go. Hess had an epiphany late in his life and hired Parcells and appeared to have locked up Belichick as the successor. HIs premature death and some bumbling by Parcells and the Johnsons screwed that up. It appears that the Johnsons have also had an epiphany and have decided that the Jets should be run like a top notch organization with highly regarded football minds. How about we let this offseason play out and see if the Johnsons back off and let Douglas and Saleh run things and turn this franchise around. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
