New York Jets: Woody Johnson, Christopher Johnson need to go

Allegations against New York Jets owner Woody Johnson affirm he needs to go.

With the recent reports that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has been accused of making racist and sexist comments as the United States Ambassador to Great Britain, which is inexcusable conduct.

If Woody and Christopher Johnson need to get out of NFL ownership and sell the Jets to a competent and football-experienced owner who can finally turn New York into a great football organization again.

While the allegations against them could be the nail in the coffin, it’s not the only reason why that should happen. Here are a few of those reasons as to why the Johnson brothers should sell the New York Jets.

3. New York Jets ownership hasn’t been willing to spend big

Partially due to the ineffectiveness of past general managers but also due to the culture created by the Johnsons, New York never seems to be a contender for the most sought-after free agents. Their efforts to spend money have always been half-hearted and ill-fated.

The results have been a team built on a shoestring budget year-in and year-out. That has been reflected on and off the field. For a franchise that the Johnsons paid over $600 million for, you’d think they’d be willing to spend to make the team quality on the gridiron.

2. Discipline, infrastructure have been lacking under the Johnson brothers.

A team with proper infrastructure, which starts with the ownership group and trickles down through the general manager, front office and the coaching staff, is run like a tight ship. Yes, players in the modern era are more empowered than ever before. However, situations like what has arisen with Jamal Adams would not happen with proper ownership. The situation would improve within the organization and, as such, would be less likely to see similar occurrences.

1. Direction with coaches has continuously been missed.

Once Rex Ryan’s glory years were behind him, the Jets ownership moved on and replaced him with Todd Bowles. However, he was a statue on the sidelines who never enjoyed much success. In fact, he could’ve been fired at least a season or two before he was let go. Then there’s Adam Gase.

Frankly, the Gase debacle is something I’ve already discussed frequently. He was the wrong hire and that’s already clear, even if it was just one year that he’s been at the helm. It’s clear that they have no idea how to aid themselves in winning by hiring the right head coach or how to properly proceed in that regard.
