The New York Jets Make Yet Another Disappointing Head Coaching Hire With Aaron Glenn
Tell me if you've heard this one before. The Jets hire a first time head coach who used to be a defensive coordinator. Robert Saleh. Todd Bowles. Al Groh. Herman Edwards. Eric Mangini. We've done this so many times and each time ends the same way: failure.
This franchise is beyond fucked. They probably need to tear the house down. Fuck, they should even pull out the foundation. Just start completely over. If that's the plan and you want Aaron Glenn to be the head coach while the team goes 2-15 for three seasons, fine. Whatever. Hire some first time guy and use it as a lottery ticket to see if you have the next Vince Lombardi.
But that's not what this team will do. They will try to duct tape enough pieces together to trick Woody Johnson (and his now-in-charge teenage sons) that the team is "competitive" while being just good enough to not get a top draft pick but being plenty bad enough to not be competitive.
I feel like I'm living in permanent deja vu with Aaron Rodgers. He's not a good quarterback anymore. What are we doing here? Hubbs tried to warn me he wasn't that good even in his last year with the Packers. That was THREE season ago! What could they possibly expect from him at this point? Why is this team doing this?
I wanted them to hire Brian Flores. Well, I really wanted them to get Mike Vrabel but that was never going to happen. As far as Flores goes, I think he would have been an ideal guy to build a winning environment and create distance between Woody's nonsense and the team. Of course, that's exactly why he wouldn't get hired.
It's also so on brand for the Jets to hire a head coach
before they hire a GM. Why make it a more difficult situation for a guy just getting a job? Let him choose the head coach! It's not they just started looking for a GM now. They fired Joe Douglas before the season was over.
It's wild that Woody hired Mike Tenenbaum's firm to help go through this hiring process, interview what felt like hundreds of guys only to settle on the most obvious Jets hire ever. It just gets harder and harder to care about this team. They keep doing the same stupid shit year after year and there are only so many times you can scream at this team for screwing up. At some point, it's my fault if I'm getting upset at the same things happening over and over.
