Part 4/10:
The Implications of Ownership Interference
Many observers, including sports analysts and fans, interpret Johnson’s comments as more than just personal opinions—they seem to influence or even dictate the coaching staff’s decisions. Glenn’s repeated reiterations that he makes personnel decisions “trusting Woody Johnson’s trust” hint at underlying pressure.
Analysts compare this scenario to other organizational decisions, such as the Giants’ handling of Saquon Barkley’s contract, to illustrate differences in franchise management. They suggest that, unlike the Giants’ commercial considerations, the Jets’ quarterback controversy appears to be more directly impacted by owner preferences, potentially undermining the head coach’s authority.
