Jets going back to old set-up . . .

The Jets are going back to their old structure.

The head coach and GM will be equals and report to the owner Woody Johnson. The coach will coach the team, the GM will handle the roster, and they will both report to Johnson.

When Christopher Johnson was filling in for Woody Johnson as Jets owner, and he teamed up GM Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh, he tweaked the culture and the coach reported to the GM.

Now, Woody is changing it back to the old system he favors, where both report to him.

“We’ve gone back and forth,” Woody Johnson said. “They’ll both come talk to me.”

Some would argue this has not always worked, especially with arranged marriages between a GM and head coach who have never worked together

Sometimes, it turns into a situation like when two brothers are fighting and they run to a parent to complain, and the parent sides with one of them, and that ticks off the other sibling.

But, you know what, Woody owns the team, so he can set it up however he likes. NFL teams are not democracies.

The one thing that might be different now is that the new head coach isn’t passive-aggressive like some past GMs and head coaches.

If Aaron gets pissed off at what is going on, he will say it right to the owner’s face and not blink. He likely won’t let things fester.

Aaron doesn’t mess around.
