Christopher Johnson remains oblivious as Rome is burning, an indecisive, inexperienced placeholder insulated by too many yes men.
The 1-7 Jets are circling the drain with Johnson’s hand-picked head coach, lampooned across the NFL after losing to the hapless Dolphins Sunday.
While diehards voice their frustrations with colorful metaphors amid this Adam Gase-fueled train wreck, Johnson has the audacity to feel persecuted.
Sources told the Daily News that the Jets CEO has told people he’s been unfairly criticized for hiring Gase, who has been an unmitigated disaster from the moment he stepped on the Florham Park campus.
Gase has lost 10 of his last 11 games as an NFL head coach. Sam Darnold has regressed under his tutelage. Too many players privately don’t respect Gase. He has no leadership skills whatsoever.
But Johnson, who was temporarily handed the keys to the kingdom when his older brother, Woody, went across the pond to work for the Trump administration, has privately expressed to folks that sharp criticism directed at his decision-making and indecisiveness is unwarranted, according to sources.
Johnson, resplendent in a suit and Jets baseball cap Sunday, greeted players just inside the losing locker room. Then he vanished, ducking out to avoid reporters.
Johnson has shown no accountability as the Jets have morphed into a punchline.
The Jets declined comment when asked by the News whether Johnson would be available to the media to discuss the current state of affairs. As a point of reference, Johnson held sessions with reporters in the first two weeks of each of the past two seasons.

It’s unfortunate that Johnson has chosen to hide in the face of adversity. Great leaders use tough moments to shine. Johnson has taken cover, which tells you plenty about why things are run the way they are on One Jets Drive right now.
