Woody Johnson suggested benching Rodgers in September

Not Saleh who was still the coach, not the GM, the owner wanted Aaron benched. The coaching staff and the entire front office had to talk him out of it. 

 

Yeah. Jets gonna problem. 

[RyanC883]

wow.  

[Einstein]

The same Woodie who it’s rumored call Rodgers for his permission to fire Saleh?

 

The same Woodie who approved Rodgers trading for Davante Adams?

[BringBackFergy]

Woody needs himself a McDermott and Beane. But, shhhhh. It’s our secret

[BillsFan130]

What a dysfunctional organization. I love it

[JGMcD2]

It’s amazing to me that I keep seeing references to the fact he relies on social media to make decisions… there’s not 1 Jets fan yearning for more Woody Johnson involvement. He should listen to that…

Where’s Spags???

[DCofNC]

Bench him for who?

[Malazan]

All this information is coming from an article that is poorly sourced and seems like a PR piece for Joe Douglas.

 

Why would Johnson want Rodgers benched then turn around and be the driving force of acquiring Adams for Rodgers just a couple weeks later?

Tyrod is the Jets backup.

Rex Ryan will be back on that dysfunctional franchise next year.

I mean, that's what he thought he was getting with Saleh and Douglas.   Football people from winning programs who had earned the opportunity.

 

It's not like he just continually hired the clowns and washouts that Terry Pegula hired in hockey in their mutual quest with the NY Jets to never again make their respective playoffs.

I mean someone will take the job but I have no clue who that would be its not gonna be one of the hot coordinators I'll bet on that.

I bet if they went with Tyrod from Week 1 (which was never going to actually happen), they’d still be 3-8 right now.

Yooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that'd be amazing and all parties are dumb enough.

 

Fantasy scenario: they gut the house eat all that dead cap they possibly can.... hire Rex. Rex coaches his ass off with The Replacements!

 

Go 9-8 finish 1 game out of wildcard!!! "You gotta give a guy like that patience"

 

4 more years of Rex putting in work in the film room that'd make Jamarcus Russell himself bluff!

 

Gunna. Crumbbbbb!

 

Please football gods

Yeah lol. I know someone here in another thread already had this thought but I seen Rex on whatever talk show it is on ESPN talking about it when Saleh got fired. Said he would love to go back.

Mrs. Pegula would love to help you enjoy Sabres hockey but she’s kind of busy recovering from a life altering event. One team at a time grasshopper.

Sounds like an owner trying to cover his ass.

That feels like some revisionist history but whatever.

I'm sure Jets fans are beside themselves and feel helpless due to the owner. I have no love for the Jets, but that's a horrible place for a fan base to be.
