To be successful in business, politics or sports, it’s important to surround yourself with successful people. This was something Leon Hess realized when he brought Bill Parcells to the New York Jets.
Unfortunately, this hasn’t been something Woody Johnson inherited when he purchased the team in 2000.
Here it is, 17 years later, and the New York Jets are still Super Bowl-less, hovering around .500 during his tenure. Businesses don’t survive by “breaking even.”
Phrases like, “the buck stop here” and “it’s on my shoulders” are just lip service when it comes to the world of sports.
