New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is turning to a former employee’s search firm to help with his general manager and coaching searches.
The media and consulting firm brings a unique connection to the search. One of its leaders is Mike Tannenbaum. He was a part of the franchise from 1997-2012, serving as the franchise’s GM from 2006-12.fired head coach Robert Saleh in October and general manager Joe Douglas last week. Jeff Ulbrich is the interim coach and Phil Savage, a former NFL general manager, is the interim GM. It’s not clear if either is a candidate for their respective full-time jobs.
When the Jets hired Saleh in 2021, Johnson was overseas serving as the ambassador to the United Kingdom and his brother, Christopher, led the hiring process. It’s believed that Woody Johnson would like to have both the GM and coach in place soon, as it is anticipated he will serve in an ambassadorship again in the Trump administration.
Johnson also fired Saleh without consulting Douglas, a true indicator that the writing was on the wall for the GM, who was hired in 2019.
