New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has publicly defended owner Woody Johnson, pushing back against a prevailing negative narrative concerning Johnson's role in the franchise's operations. Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, Glenn addressed rumors suggesting Johnson interferes with coaching decisions, particularly play-calling.
Glenn asserted that this perception needs to change, emphasizing Johnson's supportive and helpful approach. He stated that Johnson's consistent question is, "What can I do to help you be successful?" This defense by the head coach, along with general manager Darren Mougey, aims to project a renewed sense of unity within the Jets' front office.
Both Glenn and Mougey expressed optimism about the team's offseason outlook, citing their cap space and future draft picks. Johnson, who purchased the Jets for $635 million at the turn of the century, may see this as an opportunity to shift public perception after years of team underperformance.
