Who owns ny jets

By Justin Barrasso. By Frankie Taddeo. By Madelyne Woods. College Football. By Dan Lyons. There's big opportunities and big problems," he said -- that he said it was not hard for him to be disconnected from the team and he talked to his brother about the Jets only very infrequently.

I didn't know what was happening day to day. That might have been for the best. The Jets bottomed out last season, winning just two games, but somehow still angering fans who wanted them to be even worse, so they could have the first overall draft pick and the chance to land quarterback Trevor Lawrence , who was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars, one spot ahead of the Jets' Zach Wilson. Johnson returned from London earlier this year, after Christopher had already turned the franchise's page by hiring Robert Saleh as the head coach, pairing him with general manager Joe Douglas, whom Christopher hired in , and team president Hymie Elhai, who had been elevated to that job by Christopher a couple months after Douglas was hired.

Johnson said there is plenty of crossover between running a team and running an embassy. It's all management, and it's all about getting buy-in from the most important people so that everybody is pulling in the same direction.

That did not always appear to be how things were functioning in London. Last summer, the State Department's internal watchdog wrote a report that said Johnson had "sometimes made inappropriate or insensitive comments on topics generally considered Equal Employment Opportunity EEO -sensitive, such as religion, sex, or color.

The story made for a few days of ugly headlines back home, but Johnson does not want to discuss details on the record, beyond saying his wife was furious that he was accused and the allegations go against everything he has been about. He considered them so baseless he has not addressed the accusations with players or coaches. Even in strictly football terms, successful management hasn't been much easier to attain. A series of shotgun marriages, consultant-advised hires and which-way-is-the-wind-blowing decisions created a franchise that felt perpetually out of sync, with competing agendas sometimes scuttling any hope of progress.

The view from across the pond gave Johnson enough distance to recognize when there wasn't synergy -- his word -- between players and coaches, perhaps more sharply than he would have detected them at close range. In the months since he has returned, Johnson has seen what he believes is a culture change brought about by the brain trust his brother put in place.

He has sat in on the morning team meetings Saleh conducts, where the coach delivers brief messages -- life lessons, Johnson calls them -- about things like what it means to be a professional. What Johnson describes seeing and hearing in the last few months is what he believes has to exist for a team to be successful and which, even by Johnson's own admission, has not been in place for the Jets.

I'm energized. I just think there's harmony in the building I hadn't seen for the first 15 years that I see now. A lot is due to Hymie and Joe and Robert and wanting to include everybody. And realizing that the business side and game-day operations and the marketing side and the media side is all one and the same. It's not them and us. It's the New York Jets and everybody is included, including the groundskeepers. He continued: "If you look at teams that have been successful, all have similar paths to success.

One is continuity. It's hard to do. If things start going off track it's ours to change. That's something you shoot for -- get a team together, particularly getting management and coaching together. I wouldn't have made changes if I had it right. I'd like to get to the point where I don't have to change.

I feel optimistic where we are right now, because I've been to the morning meeting with Robert. I've watched Joe interact with his scouts, interact with the building, the way he interacts with Hymie, for instance, they have very good relationship in a way I never saw before. I never saw this relationship where the building was all one. I saw where the building was all football and Bill Parcells used to lock the door.

Now, there's a lot of smart guys in business. You can bounce a lot of ideas off these guys, coming up with a point of view that is useful. Woody was named the U. But with the Biden Administration taking over on Wednesday, Woody's appointment came to an end, clearing the way for his return. Christopher, who is currently serving as the active owner, chairman and CEO, said there's a process with the league to reinstate Woody as the Jets' top decision-maker and he's "not exactly sure" how long it will take.

Whenever that happens, Woody will become chairman and Christopher will be vice-chairman. But Christopher said that it won't be a massive change in the way the Jets operate. Christopher Johnson said Thursday that he was changing the organizational structure so that Saleh would report to general manager Joe Douglas, and Douglas would report to Christopher and Woody Johnson. Previously, both the coach and general manager had equal power within the organization. Christopher will continue to have a major role, according to Woody, but he did not provide details.

Johnson was also asked about a State Department report issued last year that included allegations he made racist and sexist remarks while serving as Ambassador. My wife was absolutely furious when she saw this, because this goes against my history and everything I've done for my entire life.

It was something that really was very hard on me to listen to all that stuff. But that's done. That's concluded.
