Woody Johnson to resume principal owner duties with New York Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have a new coach and a new way of doing business.

On the day they introduced Robert Saleh, the Jets announced a reorganization of their power structure. It will be headed by chairman Woody Johnson, who flew back to the United States Thursday after a completing a three-year term as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Johnson will resume his duties as the principal owner "quite soon," according Christopher Johnson, who ran the franchise during his older brother's absence. Christopher will become the vice chairman and will maintain a prominent role in the day-to-day operations.
