Parting is such sweet sorrow, not just in Shakespeare but in football. But today’s going-away celebration was necessary for JoJo Wooden to take the next step in his desired career path. “I was not looking forward to it at all,” Wooden, the Jets’ assistant director of player personnel, said of the ...
New York Jets chairman and CEO Woody Johnson issued the following statement this morning: Our 2012 season was a disappointment to all of us. My goal every year as owner is to build a team that wins consistently. This year, we failed to achieve that goal. This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season.

I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team. Like all Jets fans, I am disappointed with this year’s results. However, I am confident that this change will best position our team for greater success going forward.
