Unnamed agent slams Jets owner

In an ESPN story over the weekend, they ran this quote:

“Woody (Johnson) can’t make a good decision,” one prominent coaching agent said.

Whether you like Woody Johnson or not, who cares what an unnamed agent has to say?

Seriously?

It’s like all these stories over the last few weeks about how well certain coach’s interviews went with the Jets.

Where do you think that information came from? Likely agents, who represent candidates, unless the person who provided that “scoop” was in the room for the interview.

I respect many agents, but I don’t quote them.

Like last week, after WR Tyreek Hill quit on the Miami Dolphins late in their loss to the Jets, his agent Drew Rosenhaus said to Pat McAfee, “We represent 13 guys on [the Dolphins] and not one of them has a complaint about Tyreek.”

What a ridiculous quote. It’s agenda-driven. What do you expect an agent to say? Did he poll all 13 clients after Hill quit on the team?

Almost everything Rosenhaus said during this interview with McAfee was agenda-driven.

And that is the stuff you usually get from agents – quotes devoid of objectivity, which is understandable. Their job is to represent their client’s best interests.

The person ESPN quoted ripping Woody, you wonder if the Jets owner ever fired one of his clients? Who knows?

Look, I’m not here to defend Johnson’s record. The Jets have missed the playoffs 14 straight years. As Bill Parcells always said, “You are what your record says it is.”

And we all know Johnson needs to hire a quality GM/HC combination, throw them the car keys, and let them run the Jets’ football operation moving forward without interference, and it sounds like he’s willing to do that.

But with that being said, why run a quote like that from an agent?

An agent?

C’mon now.
