I wholeheartedly agree and that's saying something considering the history of this franchise. Glenn better be careful, people will forget, real fast, he was a decent player if this shit continues. You are ALWAYS remembered by what you put out last. This isn't good.
I had a thought about AG... I have called him delusional but I rethought that comment. In listening again to the presser, I honestly believe now, he actually believes what he says... It really is quite sad and pathetic to think this is the guy that Woody believes can turn this cluster F into a competitive team.
"I expect, and will want, our fans to have a total trust in us in being able to do that..." Unbelievable.
Mooge actually looked competent. It's too bad that next year we are going to fire what appears to be a decent GM because of completely incompetent head coach. Let me summarize Glenn's part in the presser. - "What do you tell the fans who are looking for something tangible to hold on to after this season?" - "Just trust me"
I think you are right. He says all that whacky shit with as straight a face as on the witness stand. He definitely BELIEVES the bullshit he's peddling regardless of what the scoreboard says, stats say, win/loss record says... None of it phases him. He's a very dangerous kind of guy because that would mean he's full blown delusional. NOT a good quality in any form of leader.
There are only 2 explanations for the Jets playing the way they did and they are that AG is really incompetent or it's been a tank all along. It's hard to find other teams that have a negative 203 point differential but 2 are close (Raiders and Titans). Last year it was Carolina in the -190's and they improved enough to get in the playoffs. Weirdly enough, at 8-9 they are seeded 4th while the 12-5 Rams are seeded 5, so anything is possible. Here's hoping the Jets deliberately tanked. Ron
The point differential does not matter in the NFL. You do not have to lose by 23 or more 5 straight times, including 28 to the Bills back-ups. You could lose by 7 points for example it still counts a loss. There is no need to go down by 28 to ensure the tank. This is not an intentional tank, this is horrendous coaching. Like look at this play: https://x.com/Joerb31/status/2008533258922045521 TWO wide open TEs for a TD. Not one but two. The commentators are laughing at how poorly we are schematically. No talent in the world can save us with this coach.
I'm not sure "wide open" is the appropriate phrase. There has to be something else. I would use Wide Open for a high school team. By NFL standards, the defense wasn't even on the field. JSMH
It's too soon to tell if Mougey is good or not, but this could be the mirror image of Douglas and Saleh. Now it's an all-time bad coach screwing over the GM instead of an all-time bad GM screwing over the coach, but Woody's as clueless as ever.
For me I wish he went into specifics, what went wrong? Why did most of the players regress, tell us what happened week to week on the field. He never once went into any Xs and Os, he doesn't talk like a coach, honestly he talks like me or any other average Joe that walked up to the microphone without having a clue what's going on. Listen to Cohen, Ben Johnson, any other real coach and listen how they break down specifics of what they are going to do or what happened, I honestly don't think Glenn knows. That's dead serious, I truly don't think he has a clue how to coach a team.
For me, it should have been something more than “trust me” from Glenn. Not that he has to give away all of the plans, but it would have been better to hear a few more specifics and accountability other than the bullshit nothing we got. They said they are going through their player and coaches evaluation, so fine, and I wouldn’t have expected him to say anything about what the focus will be in free agency or the draft, but other coaches talk specifics in terms of areas to improve. Could have talked about what he thought the biggest issues were…why no takeaways, what can he do different in terms of offensive schemes, what did he expect to see out of the QB position that he didn’t see leading to the epic fail, what focus does he want to do more of on O and D. In the end it doesn’t matter what he says, it’s all about showing it on the field, but the bluster and just total lack of anything real doesn’t give him a lot of credibility.
Exactly! We posted at the same time pretty much But yes, other coaches in post games talk about actual plays…stuff like “on that third and long bomb, the safety came over the top and the receiver should have seen that and adjusted the route and taken it to the sideline” kind of shit…like showing recall of a play (hey, he was actually paying attention!) and breaking down what went wrong (or right) and why it should have happened that way or another way, etc. Stuff like that. I’ve NEVER heard anything remotely like that from Glenn. He wants to be some kind of overseer coach but he doesn’t demonstrate actual knowledge at that kind of level. He wants to stay the “HC” and run the ship and motivate and hold people accountable, fine, but then go out and actually fucking motivate!!! He did nothing of the sort. We didn’t get any turnovers because we couldn’t tackle well, and the few fumbles we caused, we didn’t have players right there in the right position to recover…we didn’t swarm to the ball. We didn’t play fast and angry. We played lackadaisical and careless. That’s lack of hustle. That’s lack of giving a fucking shit. Why? Did the players tune him out because they see through the bullshit? These players all regressed under this staff. That’s a fucking problem. But agree…he thinks he’s somehow earned this “trust me”, this “I know what winning football is”. Really? Coulda fooled me! But by all means, please SHOW us what winning football is. Please SHOW us this “brand” of football that you expect us to trust you on. After 17 fucking games, we are all still waiting.
And because our owner is the biggest POS nepo baby on the planet we are going to continue to wait to see it until he gets fired mid season.
1st and foremost, ;you do NOT throw your coaches under the bus in public. By making the comments about not being involved in the X's and O's as well as stating, "It's Wilk's defense," he showed me HE lacks accountability. Reporter: "Why did you fire Steve Wilks?" Glenn: "I didn't feel WE were where WE want to be and WE want to go in a different direction." In HIS answer he basically made the inference that he's got nothing to do with the defense and it was ALL on Wilks. So much for an example of accountability to his players. Parroting what a few others said, he never broke anything down. It was all bullshit "fan speak." No need to re-type what's already been said but I will double down on: EXACTLY WHAT is this BRAND of football he keeps referencing? What BRAND IS Jets football? I heard not ONE explanation...
Well, for one thing, the "I'm not going to change what I believe about what wins football games" line was asinine. You can't say that after having a historically bad season. It showed a rigidity and lack of self awareness that never bodes well for being a good coach. Glenn comes across as someone who truly believes he can just will a team to victory. The problem is that other coaches run circles around him from an X's and O's and fundamentals standpoint. I honestly can't name a single thing Glenn did well this year. The team having no interceptions the entire year with a former DB and DC coaching them is astounding. I think we also set the record for fewest total takeaways in a season.
That was Wilks' defense though. Just wait till you see <name of next DC>'s defense next season. Trust me.
And if it was at all possible, the actual play was more lopsided than those scores. I mean Drake Maye spent a _third_ of the game on the bench wearing a cape and yukking it up with his teammates. That play was unbelievable. Three defenders hanging around 5-10 yards away from the LOS trying to figure out who to guard. Linebacker forgot that he had to drop until way too late. Why isn't this all coaching?
