Of course, but it was more like five days. He proposed the bet at about the same time he stated that he would not divulge his "sources".
You accepted the bet after the report came out on Super Bowl Sunday from Jay Glazer that the Jets and Rodgers were splitting up. Again you can't accept the bet when the result was already in. You also had replied to that thread after I posted the bet and before Glazers story was reported however you did not accept it. You had a window to accept it and you didn't do it. Instead you waited until after the report to then accept. The honorable thing to do would be to just admit you didn't accept the bet until the result came in, which means the bet was already over as the result was in. Instead you are attempting to spin it and challenge my integrity when you could have just accepted the bet when you had your chance to.
Heres the thread. You replied to someone else after I had posted the bet. Then shortly after the report came out that Rodgers and the Jets were splitting as shown by all the comments on the following page. Case closed, you did not accept it until the result was in. https://forums.theganggreen.com/thr...g-on-from-rodgers.100732/page-78#post-4442520 When you bet on something, you bet prior to the result not after the results have come in.
Since you made all the rules and regulations you probably should have thought better about how the bet would be decided. As it is, you haven't even won yet, the bet is not over and cannot be until the season begins or Rodgers goes elsewhere. Right now he is still a New York Jet. The result is still not in, but at least the Jets have announced their intentions. Your claim was that "If Rodgers returns for the 2025 season on the Jets..." The Jets did not make any decision public until February thirteenth. Jay Glazer is "just a guy" who writes about the team, he is no authority - what makes him more important than any other writer who wrote back in December that the Jets and Rodgers would part ways? What made him more important than any writer or commentator in the country who said the same thing in January or the beginning of February? Did he cite anyone of authority? Absolutely not! As I said before you surprise no one with your weasel dealing, welching, welshing and wimping out.
Woody is NOT "blowing up the team and starting over". The Jets still have a core of solid players. In addition, they have a bunch of holes to fill, including QB.
This aged well. Wasn't popular at the time while many were optimistic on the Glenn hire. Knew Glenn was not it. Fire him and get someone else in here now.
Figured I'd quote myself... It applied back then and applies today only now we have proof of, yet again, another DC to 1st time HC appears to be another massive failure.
I think it was more a who wants the job situation. I was always wary of Glenn but he wanted the job, he was probably the only one that "wanted" the job. I'm sure we could have found someone else but I could see the logic at the time. What I never understood was the power they gave him, he is judge and jury of this franchise with virtually no experience whatsoever. He wasn't even a great DC, zero managerial experience and it's soooo obvious now. Even Lions fans wanted him gone and our moron owner gave him absolute power over everything calling Moug his sidekick. Unreal, I hate this fucking team.
We're definitely not a desirable job, but there's an element of sheer stupidity as well. I know Ben Johnson didn't want any part of us, but we didn't even try to interview Coen, and he completely turned the Jags around with essentially the same roster they had last year. They were 4-13 last year and are 10-4 so far this year. Woody is just absolutely obsessed with trying to recreate the Rex years. Considering that Chris hired Gase, Woody has not hired a single HC with a primarily offensive background in all his years owning the Jets. And before anyone responds with the usual "Defensive coaches can work too!" spiel - that's not the point. Yes, defensive head coaches can and do work, but there is overwhelming evidence that most of the best HCs are guys with offensive backgrounds. It just makes no sense to repeatedly try to do something that is less likely to work out.
I'm not sure "happy" is the appropriate word. Resigned, accepted, matter of fact. All better descriptions. I mean, from my own personal standpoint, I didn't like the hire, said as much but when the offseason programs begin and training camp is on the doorstep you can either get on board and give a chance or smack your face into a brick wall. Both of which you can control but one hurts less. Now, fast forward to nearly a season in the books and everyone who said it was a stupid hire and wasn't going to work has been proven correct. Up to this point at the very least. Could Glenn go on to have a smokin' hot second season in NY? Absolutely! Is it likely? Highly not. In fact, I would give Glenn's chances of having a breakout second season at about 20%. Problem is, define breakout. At this point .500 would be considered a major breakout considering this team hasn't sniffed a .500 record since many a teenage Jet fan was born. Playoffs? I would almost put down $ I don't have to make the statement that the NY Jets will not be in the playoffs until there is a new owner in charge. Whether that be Brick Johnson or someone else. Either way, NOTHING is going to happen while Woody Johnson is alive. He's too stupid to change and that's what it would require for this team to become competitive again. Woody Johnson either needs to die or have a 180 degree change in his philosophy. Of course, realistically, Brick probably does nothing more than carry on the shitty legacy of his old man. However, I'm not willing to look that far into the future. Anything can happen after Woody is taking a dirt nap.
I think others wanted the job but Woody only wanted someone who wanted the job that would fire Aaron Rodgers. McCarthy im sure wanted the job to team up with Rodgers. But I get what you mean about wanting it to be the Jets head coach specifically. Either way Woody meddled and the coaching process was a disgrace. Im sure in a decade or so from now people from the 33rd team will admit the coaching hunt was meddled with by Woody. Yep Glenn was awful in Detroit. Lions fans were happy when he left. There is no way he should have ever been given complete authority. Complete insanity but not surprising.
Looking back at my old posts in the thread, you were one that agreed with me and did not believe in Glenn. It is what it is now, I just wish the Jets would move on because I agree the odds of it working out well are not good next year. The fact that we all pretty much expect a bad season along with him getting fired reminds me of Saleh going into 2024. If we trade up to get a QB, why would we risk pairing him up with Glenn? Makes no sense.
The simple fact that it makes no sense is EXACTLY why Johnson will not do it. In fact, to be frank, Wood Johnson needs his mouth slapped, told to sit in the back of the bus and, if he doesn't, chain him there. THEN maybe REAL football people can be brought in to DRAG this fucking franchise out of 1969 and into 2026. Will it happen? 100% absolutely, unequivocally NOT. The NY Jets are going blow monkey ass for the next 100 years...we must accept this. We will live longer and with less angst if we simply come to this simple conclusion.
