He sent to all season ticket holders.
Dear Elias,
I am writing to you, a loyal New York Jets Season Ticket Holder, to share important news about the team.
Like many of you, I approached 2014 optimistically, and our 4-12 season is deeply disappointing to me.
After carefully assessing where we are as a football team, this morning I informed Rex Ryan and John Idzik that they will not be returning for the 2015 season. Both Rex and John made significant contributions to the team which will be building blocks for our future. Over the years, Rex brought the Jets a bold confidence and a couple of great post-season runs, which all of us will remember.
These were very difficult decisions, but winning matters above all. My obligation to Jets fans – especially all of you – is to position us for sustained success on the field. We did not make enough progress toward that goal this season, and I have determined that new football leadership is necessary moving forward.
Today I am starting our search, with guidance and support from respected football experts, including Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf, two Super Bowl winners with decades of invaluable experience and insight.
We are considering all options to improve this team and to ensure that our new Head Coach and General Manager work hand-in-hand to build and maintain a winning culture.
I know how much you have invested in the Jets and the results of this search, so I encourage you to visit newyorkjets.com and follow @nyjets on Twitter for updates and additional information throughout the process.
Thank you for your continued passion and support for the New York Jets.
