Matt Higgins was NOT the President, the Jets have not had a President since Jay Cross left for the Steven Ross group Related.

They have been running with 3 EVP’s Tannenbaum for Football, Higgins for business and Sheeley for Finance.

But yes, they appear to be lost in the leadership department, maybe Glat can right the ship on the business side and then we could afford to go to a game!

Former president was Matt Higgins who went to pursue a career in real estate or something like that.
I seriously don’t understand the ‘worst owner’ statements. Jets have had ONE losing season in the six years tannenbaum has been in charge. Since Rex came, jets have won 4 playoff games and had one 8-8 season. As a jets fan, just the fact that 8-8 is considered a huge disappointment is enough to make you feel good about your franchise. Teams like cleveland, stl, Oakland etc celebrate 8-8 seasons. We have become fans who only remember the last few games and can’t think big picture. Imagine if the niners go to ANOTHER title game then have a messy year and go 8-8 will you look at harbaugh, York etc as a bad group????

Florid really does obsess over the Jets, doesn’t he? I bet if Rex buys new tires for his car, Florio will engage in the psychology of whether they’re summer-rated or all season tires. If Sanchez gets a new haircut, Florio will fantasize on whether Tebow had an influence on it. Geez.

What did Glat do at the league and why happened to the former team president (e.g. fired, retired)? These are relevant.

It means they’re still a mess. After all, we’re talking jets football here!

Woody is quickly climbing the ladder as the worst owner in the NFL.

I’ll tell you what this means.

If the Jets tank it again this year, and Rex has no control over his players again, he’s gone. Mike Tannenbaum is gone too.

And good ‘ole Woody won’t have to be the one to do it.

Headline should be Jets Bring In New Ringleader for the Circus from the NFL HQ. When asked about his new role Glat responded that there were far too many clowns for the current makeup of the circus known as the NJ Jets.

As a Jets fan, I am done with Woody, owners getting involved on the football side of the buisness never works out…..and he is getting more and more involved; he is the ring leader of the circus.

Who cares….If Woody hired him, he can’t be good for the team. He is probably some advisor who will counsel Woody on how to get more face time on TV and on the back pages.

However, Woody still values the wisdom of Buzz Lightyear above all.

With Tannenbaum and Glat in charge, Woody knows the trains will run on time.
