Woody Johnson Acknowledges Need for Improvement as Jets Owner

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has publicly acknowledged the need for improvement in his role with the team after a disappointing 5-12 season. He admitted, 'I have to look in the mirror, and I have to be a better owner,' emphasizing his commitment to allowing new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey to lead without interference. Johnson's increased involvement last season, including the firing of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas, has been criticized as meddlesome, which he downplayed as exaggeration. He expressed confidence in Glenn and Mougey, stating he aims to be more patient and supportive moving forward. Despite the Jets' 14-year playoff drought, Johnson believes that a hands-off approach will foster a better environment for success. Glenn has responded positively to Johnson's management style, highlighting their shared commitment to winning and trust in the owner's vision.
