With the firing of head coach Robert Saleh earlier today, many Jets fans responded by wondering aloud where GM Joe Douglas stood as far as his job security. Well, owner Woody Johnson may have given us a peek by offering quite the endorsement of the roster Douglas has assembled.
In speaking with reporters, Johnson referred to Douglas’ roster as “one of the most talented teams that has ever been assembled by the New York Jets”.
Now, we understand that an owner will sometimes offer up some lip service in support of a high-profile employee on thin ice, but this was far from that.
