"Woody Johnson needs to sell the team. In 2000, Johnson bought the Jets for $635 million using the money he inherited from his father's mega corporation, Johnson & Johnson. Had it not been for nepotism, Johnson would never have been in this position. The team is currently valued at $6.9 billion. With the letter B. That means Johnson has profited 10 times what he paid for the team."
"The Jets currently have the longest postseason drought in the NFL, dating back 15 years since their last appearance. A prominent coaching agent quoted in an ESPN article covering the 25th anniversary of Johnson buying the team said, Woody can't make a good decision. Glenn had zero NFL head coaching experience coming into this season. He has made highly questionable decisions, letting time expire on numerous occasions and going into halftime when the Jets had a chance to score."
"As recently as their Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, he chose to punt the ball away on what would surely be the Jets' last chance to level the score in the game. Instead, they dropped to 0-7. I like our fourth down plan, Glenn said after that game. It obviously didn't work out. But yeah, I like our fourth down plan going into this game."
Woody Johnson purchased the New York Jets in 2000 for $635 million using inherited money from Johnson & Johnson and the franchise is now valued at $6.9 billion, roughly ten times the purchase price. The Jets have the NFL's longest postseason drought at 15 years. Leadership under ownership has produced instability, with Aaron Glenn entering the season without prior NFL head-coaching experience and making multiple questionable in-game choices. Criticisms include nepotism and poor decision-making at the ownership level. Selling the team is presented as the primary remedy to address long-term dysfunction and poor results.
