Maybe those 19 guys can pool their money and make Woody an offer.

i wish. maybe Steve Cohen could buy it.

[RoadFan]

I have zero confidence in Woody’s ownership.  

That said, I am thrilled he fired Salehsman before it is too late…

[sciond]

Woody is the culture problem

[freestater]

Right after he finally got rid of an albatross HC before the season was lost? 

[varjet]

Woody’s best plan would be to lock up Ulbrich and JD and then find a QB and conservative offensive plan.  
 

with Ulbrich running the defense and finding players they won’t be terrible.  He can avoid another 1-16. But they ain’t making the playoffs

so now your a fan of Woody? lmao

i really hope Ulrich works out. i love the Jets. but if Rodgers is still missing passes, the OL is still not blocking and if the OC keeps calling dumb plays i am going to laugh at all you guys who blamed Saleh for that. 

you know maybe, just maybe our loses are the fault of the players.

maybe Saleh should have got in a 2 point stance and showed Tippman how to not snap it high. or Simpson on how to not leave the guy right in front of him to double team a guy with Tippman.

maybe Saleh should have shown Aarron Rodgers how to complete passes.

or maybe make offense plays and then call them.

maybe he should have taught Sause how to tackle and not take pass interference penalties.

oh and show a kicker who has been in the league for 17 years how to kick a 50 yd FG.

im pretty sure we already have coaches that are supposed to teach these guys all these things. i really hope Ulrich knows how to do all that or its going to be a short honeymoon.

Dream on.

Why would he ever want to sell it? If anything he’s been trying to also acquire another sports franchise (Chelsea soccer team, as recently as two years ago).

The only way he’s out is if there’s some scandal uncovered where the other owners force a sale. Wouldn’t be this franchise’s first forced-sale; it’s how Werblin ended up with the team because the prior owner was bouncing paychecks to the players. Since that’s not going to happen, it’d take something with visible public embarrassment for the league: think Dan Snyder or Marge Schott.

This asset has appreciated faster than the stock market, while providing him loads of entertainment and far less risk. He’s keeping it forever and then it’s passing to his family. He surely filed a succession plan with the league many years ago, as well as whatever arrangements in his own estate’s trust.

He doesn’t care how many fans want him to sell it.

Woody Johnson is a bad owner because….?

[Adoni Beast]

Anger clouds the mind, jeopardizes rationality, and is the downfall of learned men.

Woody Johnson is no learned man. He is quite simple, stupid. 

Said petition will anger him. If anger can create stupidity in the smart, imagine what chaos can result to the fan base of an angry Woody Johnson.

I am thinking spiteful tanking on par with the movie Major League.

The semi yearly "Woody sell the team" thread, ahhhhh good times, good times..

He doesn't know what he's doing. He's not like Daniel Snyder where he thinks he does, and he's not cheap like Mike Brown, but he takes to much advice and usually the wrong advice. 

He's not stupid, and he does care about winning so he's not a lost cause in my opinion. He just doesn't know when to step in, when to be hands off or when to have patience. At least you can tell he's conflicted. He is willing to admit he was wrong and try a new approach so let's hope he gets it right one of these times. 

You have to admit that we have been getting better over the years. Painfully slow improvement and we started at the very bottom.

Idzik Bowles, Maccagnan Gase,  

I think Ulbrich is another step in the right direction. If not then we'll see who he hires next. Not like we have a choice.

Jets fans have mastered the art of Wasted energy 

-spend hours defending the current losing GM 

-Cry and scream for woody to sell the team

-Make petitions for the owner to sell the team

And so much other things that I do not feel like typing out 

 

[JoJoTownsell1]

Yeah,  pretty sure this is a colossal waste of time.

If you mean our own eventual, collective demises? Yes.

If you mean Woody's? No.

Johnson and/or his family successors will still own the NYJ long after we're food for worms. 😞

[faba]

Keep dreaming it is a gold mine for him-

[BroadwayRay]

Everyone talks about the Jets curse. There is no curse. There is ownership. Leon Hess/Steve Gutman, Woody/Chris Johnson. There. Those names are the curse.

family successors (other than Chris) could possibly be better at it.   My guess is his progeny would want the money from a sale.

Leon Hess figured it out very late in life.  If he could've hung on a few more years, I think the Jets win the SB (and probably multiple).

You think this started with Hess and not going to mention his partners Iselin, Martin, and Lilis? Think if they had sold their shares to Werblin instead of the other way around.

Anyway we've had two good coaching staffs since then. Parcells, and to a lesser extent Rex Ryan. Pete Carrol would have been good to have been patient with I guess. 

The owners didn't stop those guys from performing well. How do we explain that. 

Steve Gutman never owned the Jets. He was team President and in charge while Hess' family was trying to sell the team. Like Hess he knew nothing about football and really wasn't interested to learn.

Yeah he figured out that Parcells guy was pretty good and if you hand him a blank check and get out of the way he can win  you some games. Would Parcells have retired if Hess hadn't died? Would Belichick really have stayed? I don't know. Still think if you can convince a hof GM/coach to take over the team that any owner can "figure it out".

Hess bought out all his partners during the 60s and 70s and made Steve Gutman the de facto CEO of the team.

Of course I know he didn't own the team. But he ran the team for a good part of the 80s and 90s at the behest of Hess. The bad decisions made during those decades essentially trace back to him.

I won't go into Parcells and why I disagree with the conclusion that Hess "figured it out very late in life." I've posted enough in the past about how I think Hess stealing Parcells from the Pats was, in the end, bad for the franchise.

[Trotter]

So we are petitioning a billionaire to sell a business thst prints money

this will end well

[Jet_Engine1]

[Dunnie]

I dunno ... Took balls to try and save a season due to a flailing HC's ineptitude... I give the Woodster mad props for the week.

Saleh cost this team at least two full seasons of development , possibly ruined a premier project rookie QB, and couldn't even win with a HOF QB. It was time.

For what purpose? I mean, unless they just don't want to own an NFL franchise, what thing would they going to buy that they can't buy by leveraging their asset and take out a loan (with an interest rate that'd clearly be lower than the rate at which the team appreciates) -- they don't need to sell it.

Just looked it up -- jfc: the team's worth about $7BN now. He's worth about $9BN (allegedly, on both figures), and both numbers are only growing.

One would think they'd be quite comfortable money-wise without liquidating their ownership, and throwing away all the benefits that come with it. 

Prepare of a lifetime of Johnson family ownership post-Woody, lol.

Perfectly written. This team is just a money maker for him. And it just keeps making him more and more money every year.
