Jets owner mulls makeover

Jets owner Woody Johnson wants a winner in New York, even if it means starting over next season.

Johnson said Wednesday he is undecided but giving daily thought about the direction the Jets will take in January.

The Jets are 2-11 and fans are publicly calling for change. Johnson is contemplating his next call as his team limps across the finish line. Their final two games are against the top two teams in the AFC East, New England and Miami.

The nostalgia of coach Rex Ryan’s consecutive AFC championship game appearances has not entirely faded for Johnson, who extended Ryan’s contract at the end of the 2013 season with an endorsement that he believed Ryan could take the team to the Super Bowl.

“It’s not a question of fondness,” Johnson told the Daily News at the NFL owner’s meetings Wednesday. “I’ve always thought he’s a very good coach. He’s an excellent coach, excellent teacher. The fans are going to want to see something different. They’re not going to let us get along and I don’t want to do exactly the same thing. So it’s going to be either the way we coach or the way we approach it. It could be with the same people. It might be with different people. That’s the case each and every year.”

If Ryan sticks around, which would be considered an upset in the Big Apple, general manager John Idzik becomes the presumptive fall guy. Idzik traded All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis and drafted quarterback Geno Smith, two moves that rankle a passionate fan base that is framing its dislike for Idzik on “FIRE IDZIK” billboards in the region.
