I completely agree. I honestly can’t remember a worse coaching situation than the Jets have had this year. On any team for that matter not just the Jets. Aaron Glenn is in way over his head. Pete Carroll, a Super Bowl winning coach with a plethora of Football knowledge got fired after one year. Yet, Woody is hanging onto a guy that couldn’t motivate a lion to eat a steak. Has no idea about Xs and Os. It’s an unbelievable, bad joke. I honestly can’t believe that we are keeping this guy. It makes zero sense.
Just two weeks ago, when we were raped by Jags, Glenn said this is not about Xs and Os. He still thinks it is only about being tough and working hard. Basically he is a motivator type coach, has hard practices, rah rah, etc... But in today's NFL, yes toughness is important also, but it IS about Xs and Os first and foremost. It is about a strategy that puts your place in position to succeed. And Glenn still thinks it's not about Xs and Os. How can we get excited about a new season if we have a coach who still living in the 90s when he played?
This is giving me such deja vu of the offseason before Saleh's final year when it was clear he should've been gone but we kept him anyway.
I've never once said he deserves one, I just think firing him is the worse move because the roster is not nfl caliber and before Miami there were some positives. I've also said after the dolphins game it has been totally unacceptable, while still understanding our roster is not an nfl roster. I've lost track the amount of times I've said this
That and also Gase's 1st year, though Gase actually showed some improvement, but still everyone here knew he should be fired.
What were the positives before Miami? Starting 0-7? Winning two games entirely because of special teams?
Raiders are a much bigger mess. Is Brady in or out? Is Al's son focused on football or co-eds? You hire 100-year-old Pete Carroll and you expect results right away, ok, but why? That team wasn't going to take down the Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos with any coach but especially not one short-term that was just looking for a nice little windfall to take back to the Boca Raton retirement community their coach before him was literally under $25 million worth of debt/judgements. Coaching in Las Vegas the gambling center of the universe. Both coaches got only 1 year, go figure. The poster said "if the Raiders can fire Carroll, the Jets can and should fire Glenn"... I'm just saying, that disaster is not something I want to emulate
Well then keep the ST coach and fire the HC and OC. Not sure the logic here. Your logic is the team did "some" good prior to Miami, of which I categorically disagree with, and that "good" was on ST. How does ST doing good translate to the HC who's offense AND defense were historically shit riddled? I don't get the correlation. The unit that, literally, plays 2% of the snaps is the "reason" you're advocating to not fire the HC??
You guys have your panties in the biggest bunch that it's a pointless question to answer. I can say what I liked, I have several times. Then 3-4 people mentally break down and talk about how it's wrong and no way Glenn should be here he should have be fired week 1 blah blah blah. I can tell that some people just want me to throw a stat out, which is not really possible because the jets were a terrible 3-13 team and all their stats are terrible because of their roster and coaching. So until i throw out a stat I'll be told I can't show a positive from glenn the entire year. I can say Glenn did a bad job overall, but also not demand he gets fired in 1 year and understand the roster played an extremely large part of why the season played out the way it did. Just like you, and others, can say that you've known since week 3 or whatever that Glenn should be fired and I can choose to wonder why you felt that way so quickly.
For me, when the season is over in January with 0-4, then we proceed to 0-7, the worst start in team history, and also seeing how the defense was shit for this defensive coach even before the trades, it's a long shot for the coach. But, looks like you got your wish. Woody should be up by now and no announcement. You were right: Woody is more likely to extend him for this performance than to fire him.
Ok so if your position is that “the roster is not nfl caliber”, the implication is that you can’t judge his performance because of it, or maybe you can judge it to some degree, but you’d like to see how he does with a better roster. Is that fair? If so, I totally disagree…it’s all opinions of course so not saying anything other than that, but I couldn’t disagree more with this argument. For starters, I don’t know what positives you took from before the Miami game…I recall quite a few penalties and a bottom of league ranking in offense, a lot of defensive collapses, a lot of blown coverages, plenty of bad in game decisions. I don’t remember seeing really any positives in an 0-7 start. I did see quite a few players who performed well under Saleh look awful under AG and Wilks though. I do agree that post Miami it has been unacceptable, but I also think it was so before Miami as well. The only game I can say I thought we played hard and well enough to win was the opener against Pitt. But what I don’t really understand is why it would be worse to fire him? What can go wrong? The next guy is worse than AG? That I guess is possible but man it would be hard to do. I don’t think firing a coach after one season is any real black mark these days…it happens often enough. So sure, all opinions, and none of us has any say, but I’d be curious what positives you saw…maybe I can’t even remember them because of how frustrated I am with the season as a whole…and I’d also be curious as to why you think firing him would be worse. Kinda hard to imagine another coach doing worse than the shit we saw this year, but I guess anything is possible with Woody in charge. Do you think he can improve enough on offense, defense, in game calls, player motivation, game planning, etc. to make us a contender? I sure don’t, but again that’s just my opinion.
After the loss to the Bills, he said he "is not going to waver on his beliefs of what he thinks wins games in this league...”. Is he mentally ill? Wouldn't it make sense to re-evaluate what "wins games in this league" after the results of this season? BTW, I changed my vote from "Should not be fired, but won't be fired" to "SHOULD and won't".
Speaking as someone who barely paid attention this year. The roster was absolute terrible, and that is not on Glenn or Mougey. Gives me a thought that they (Glenn) deserve to have a chance with a better roster. BUT What does future long term success with Aaron Glenn as HC look like? He was outmatched by the other 3 HCs in division and posted historically bad numbers. Plus, is there any inclination that our offense will be any better with a rookie QB? I would hope so, but that is TBD.
