It was a weird Tuesday in New York after the Jets fired Robert Saleh in an unexpected way, so people might say that an explanation was needed. Owner Woody Johnson provided it even if it was not very convincing to all of the team’s fans.
Now, to be fair to the veteran owner, throughout his four seasons with the team, Saleh had a poor record. It did not help that he had only won 20 games and had lost 36. During a media conference call, Johnson stated, “This decision was not sparked by the last two games.” “There is a greater time span. After giving it some thought over the past few years, I do believe we can do better.
With a record of 2-3 this season, the squad is in need of leaders to turn things around. “With this new leadership, the team can perform better. That should bring out the best in these athletes, in my opinion. I genuinely believe that will occur, and I’m confident about it.”
Owner of the Jets Woody Johnson reportedly fired Robert Saleh without first consulting the front office or club general manager Joe Douglas.
A season to be spared
The Jets still have a chance to salvage their season, but they must start making changes right away. Although they are not far behind the Buffalo Bills, they still need to turn things around, and Woody Johnson is aware of this.
Johnson clarified, “We need to discover methods to win. That’s one of the reasons I decided to make a change at the highest level.” “Therefore, we won’t discover solutions by repeatedly performing the same thing.”
The owner of the team claimed to have done extensive “soul-searching” before coming to his decision. It’s obvious he wants the best for his squad as he continued, “I thought and think it’s going to make us more competitive and it’s going to help us attain the goals the team and I want to accomplish.” Since things in New York have not been good for a long time, it is currently unclear if it will actually be able to materialize.
A loss in London last week would make Woody Johnson “pissed off,” according to Eric Mangini, because pals from his days as the US Ambassador to the UK would be present.
