John Harbaugh, Mike Tomlin, Kevin Stefanski, Vance Joseph, Joe Brady, Klint Kubiak, Sean McDermott, Brian Flores, David Shaw.... I would have happily taken any of these names over what we have right now... I was all in with Glenn.. I was pounding the table, telling everyone that would listen that this guy was going to be THE GUY to finally change this thing for the better. I was very wrong. Could he turn it around still? Sure. Is it likely. Fuck no. So you know what we absolutely did by keeping Glenn...? We assured that we wouldn't have the ability to try to change things for the better by keeping a HC who I literally can't point to one fucking thing, not one. That says, hey, this guy might actually be THE GUY to finally change things for the better. That was worse than any Adam Gase season that I watched. Now we gotta trust this dude to shape the roster? It never ends.
Exactly. When you know a guy isn't the guy, you make a change. We've seen all that we need to see to know that Glenn isn't going to be the one to turn it around. And all we're doing in 2026 is wasting yet another year and extending the playoff drought closer and closer to its 20th year.
No, sir. You are missing my point. You may very well be right, every one of those names may have told us to go fuck ourselves... I highly doubt it. Even so. It doesn't matter, if you make a dumber choice to stick with a HC that showed you fuck all... people have been fired for far far far less. Yet, with all those names out there. Woody decides to stick with a lame duck coach, ensuring we stay fucked. AT LEAST FUCKING TRY! That's the point. You definitely don't hire any of those names if the position isn't even fucking available to be had! What are we talking about here?
So when you get turned down by everyone of value, and end up with a shit candidate, and then next year you’re not better and you have to either fire a coach after one year AGAIN or pass on all the candidates… what did that do for you? It made your already awful optics even worse. And yea it’s all hypothetical but I’d bet money on my scenario being more likely than any scenario where even an average candidate answers the phone when we call.
Its a bit too late to worry about the optics at this point. Everyone knows Glenn's seat is red hot. Even Glenn knows he'll not survive another 0-7 start or 3-14 finish. Mougey will as he's the only one in the organization that has a clue. They're doing the smart thing by hiring older assistants to help Glenn. They may not add star power, but they do add some legitimacy to Glenn's CS.
"Reich was the first head coach to be fired midseason in back-to-back years. His 11-game stint was the fourth shortest for a head coach in league history." He was HC who called plays and his offense was averaging 15 ppg when he got fired both times. Before that he had several good years on offense in Indy, but 2022 was so brutal, he was fired midseason. Are you guys sure that's a better OC than even Tanner? Glenn seems to be looking at guys who did well last time 5+ years ago.
You just listed so many what-ifs I can't take this seriously anymore.. Are you being genuine to yourself at this point? I mean, honestly.
Glenn is looking at "name" guys. He's trying to add experience in the bldg as opposed to a staff staffed 90% by newbies. What Glenn needs is credibility as he knows this is his last chance as Jets HC. Unfortunately, the schedule maker didn't have any mercy as the '26 Jet schedule is brutal for a 3-14 team.
I am fine with experience, but it needs to be right experience. Wilks, Turner, and London all had experience. Banjio did not. You need to get the right people. Jax had total of 1 year of play calling experience between Coen, his DC and OC. 1 year total. Yeah these guys are experienced, but didn't have any success in last 5 years. I don't know. It seems we are going back in time while the League is moving forward.
This just does not make any sense. Your claim is that next year there will be fewer openings, hence more chance for us to get someone good. Yet by the same token I listed bunch of candidates who similarly could be available this year (there are only a couple of good openings left) and you are assuming they turn us down even though they won't be hired by another team? Then logically you must assume good candidates will turn us down next year too regardless of number of openings next year. Then what's the difference, might as well do it now? Possibly get better assistants, maybe hit a jackpot with a coach.
Big hint was when Glenn came in talking Ground and Pound. Great for 2010, not so good for 2026. At this point, Glenn's back is up against the wall and he's reaching for anything to save his job. His ability to judge leadership quality is in serious question. I don't think Glenn has the ability to find and hire the right people for a competitive CS. He got lucky with Banjo and the OLC but that's about it.
There is no issue. You just don't make sense right now. In my opinion. That's okay though. Live it up bro bro.
it’s really not worth arguing about because it’s not going to happen. The time has passed but if you fired Glenn the Jets would hire an assistant coach, 1st time in the big seat with an uphill battle dealing with a weak roster In other words, the exact same spot were already in
I get we are a shit destination and probably the last choice on most candidate’s lists However… A big reason why I think AG should have been fired NOW is because the picks we have coming up in the next two drafts along with the cap space is pretty unique. It’s a selling point. No other team looking to hire an HC this cycle has 5 first round picks in the next two drafts. That’s worth something. We are a dumpster fire…but here are 5 high lottery tickets for you, Mr. New Head Coach. Go build your team the way you want it. But Woody is one of the stupidest people I’ve seen…he can’t see that. Instead, he’s sticking with a coach we already KNOW sucks bad. Bad enough to be in the conversation with two of the worst HC’s not just in Jets history but in NFL history in Kotite and Gase. THAT’s the company he’s keeping. So what is the likely outcome? We have a hard schedule next year, a bad coach who just fired half his handpicked staff, we are going to have to cut his handpicked QB. And what? We think that now, with his seat VERY hot, he’s going to be able to identify and attract and sign quality coaches to replace the staff he just fired? And start winning games next year? With no QB on the roster, and no clear path to getting one either in the draft or free agency? No…the most likely outcome is we are going to be just as bad next year. And we’ll have to fire Glenn next year, and probably mid-season. And THEN, we won’t have nearly the same treasure chest to attract a good HC candidate. How Woody can’t see this is just insane. THIS was the year to fire Glenn…instead, we are already giving up on 2026. Forget season over in September. It’s season over in fucking January. BEFORE the season even starts. Fuck Woody.
