Thus idiot might actually keep JD!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Nah lol. Woody was trying to rally up the players who are down. Yes it does look great “ on paper “ woody is correct. Last yr Saleh and JD got a pass for rodgers going down. No excuses this yr. saleh is already gone, JD will be next if jets do not get to AFC championship. JD had likely already earned a pink slip , but the Aaron Rodgers and co experiment allowed JD to put ALL his chips in a pot. Win big or go home, literally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Saleh ostensibly reported to JD but decision to fire him was woody’s decision (“mine and mine alone.”) Pretty much tells you what you need to know about JD’s current authority that as direct manager he wasn’t even consulted for an opinion before Woody dropped the axe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the hell in my books it isn't Like it or not a gm has some responsibility to be a leader of the team and show he is on top of things. Not being in the room when Saleh was fired is beyond ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think asking JD for comments or explanation would only make things worse and make everything even more confusing. Explaining why the GM, whom the organization spent effort making it clear that he was Saleh's boss, isn't involved in any of this and thus.. what role he actually has in the organization seems valid and that it could clear up a lot of confusion.

slimjasi Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 2 hours ago, Saul Goodman said: Respectfully disagree. “Sorry Woody, we are a package deal. I believe in what we’ve built, and think you should give it until the end of the season to make a move like this. If you decide to move forward, I’m not on board and you can let me go as well”. Note that most of the posters here think Douglas would be hired by another team the minute there was a new opening. LMAO at the bolded. To quote Junior Soprano - We aren't making a Western here. This is easy for you to say. This is business. What "most of the posters here think" is also completely irrelevant. There are 32 NFL GM jobs in the world. We expect JD to sacrifice the most prestigious job he's ever held for Saleh? Are we kidding? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdhc Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 2 hours ago, Joe W. Namath said: Joe Douglas is done with the Jets. The owner and Aaron Rodgers neutered him yesterday. They will "mutually" part ways after the season and Joe D will have another GM job in a nano second. I agree he’ll never sign with Woody again. He’s made some mistakes, most notably the Zach pick and going with a defensive head coach but he’s built a very good roster. He’ll get hired by a good owner and be very successful in his next stop, having learned from experience. Woody is the main problem. Unintelligent, impulsive, and without any training or ability to run a successful business. His only qualification to own the team was inheriting a large sum of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Douglas may be sitting on a burning hot seat but he's built (imperfectly for sure) one of the best rosters the Jets have had in years. I could see Douglas returning next year. Woody is doing what he should: taking the attention for the decision so the front office and coaching staff can focus on their work.

Matt39 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Both Saleh and Douglas should have been let go after the collapse in 2022, which Saleh just brushed off as nothing. And Douglas has been invisible since he’s been hired. It’s two years too late. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody may want to hear this, but Woody at this juncture may have told JD to not make a statement at this time regarding anything and somewhat stay out of this as far as the Saleh firing and the Reddick situation which JD has obviously been doing nothing with anyway.

Actually that was changed and Saleh was reporting directly to JD. But, that doesn’t mean the owner can’t fire an employee a few levels down. I have seen it in corporations before where I have worked being done the same way. It is not uncommon though it could be in pro football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
