Jets Owner Woody Johnson, Top Brass Hold Meeting Amidst Turmoil

Deeply concerned about the direction of the team after a 3-6 start, Jets' owner Woody Johnson called in all the key members of his football operation Tuesday to discuss ways to turn the season around, Bob Glauber of Newsday reports. He and team president Neil Glat met for about 45 minutes with general manager Mike Tannenbaum, coach Rex Ryan, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and special-teams coordinator Mike Westhoff at the team's practice facility in Florham Park, N.J., in an effort to get the team headed in the right direction. A team spokesman confirmed to Newsday Saturday that the meeting took place, although he declined to be more specific about the details of the gathering. Public relations director Bruce Speight said Johnson met to "discuss how we can improve our performance moving forward." Speight also said the tone of the meeting was "calm and constructive." Johnson is not believed to have issued any sort of ultimatum to anyone in the meeting. Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails
