Part 4/8:
The Jets’ organizational troubles are not new, but they seem to have intensified under Johnson’s reign. From sporadic playoff appearances to a protracted stretch without any significant success, the Jets have become synonymous with disappointment. Critics highlight the stagnating culture that has emerged since key figures from the past—like Bill Parcells—departed. What was once a well-structured organization has devolved into a hotbed of chaos and unprofessionalism.
While Johnson initially inherited a relatively successful team, the subsequent turnover in personnel and lack of coherent strategy have led to a prolonged drought, marking the franchise with the longest playoff absence in professional sports as of now.
