New York Jets owner Woody Johnson made the decision to fire general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday after six years with the organization. It seems Johnson's been increasingly involved with things behind the scene of late, according to a report from The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt.
Per the report, following a 10–9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4, Johnson held a "contentious" meeting with Jets coaches, including former head coach Robert Saleh who was fired one week later. During the meeting, Johnson boldly suggested to the coaches that Aaron Rodgers should be benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor because he felt that Rodgers was the main culprit behind the team's struggles.
