Summary

After a weekend of playoff football, Evan and Tiki hit the harshest reality for Jets fans. The Patriots look sharp, Drake May is already being talked about like a future MVP, and Josh Allen is still standing in the AFC. The question becomes brutally simple: can the Jets realistically find a quarterback who can go toe to toe with those two in the division? The guys rip into the gap between the Jets and the best coached playoff teams, debate Aaron Glenn’s future, and react to a perfectly timed shot from an Amazon Prime pregame clip that sums up the Jets’ current reputation. Then the punchline arrives: the Jets announce a futures deal with Bailey Zappe, turning the whole situation into peak “are we being trolled?” energy. It’s Jets despair, league wide trolling, and the uncomfortable truth that nothing changes until the Jets start winning.

So as the debate internally and on this radio station will go over the next few months about Dante Moore or trading for Kyla Murray or whatever quarterback they bring in.

Ask yourself this.

0:31.3

I mean, think about it.

0:32.4

Yeah, that's a tough hustle.

0:34.7

It's incredibly depressing.

0:37.0

Then you just look at the coaching of these playoff teams.

0:40.2

You look at even a Liam Cohen. Is Aaron Glenn ever going to give the Jets an X's and O's edge the way

0:48.2

a lot of these young head coaches do, whether it's Ben Johnson in Chicago or I mentioned Liam Cohen

in Jacksonville.

0:55.1

Like, the coaching feels a billion miles away.

0:57.9

Right.

0:58.1

That's why I thought they would seriously consider moving on.

1:01.9

Well, they will next year.

1:03.8

Right.

Unless there is a demonstrated advancement in that, just that simple realm of coaching. It's an amorphous term. It doesn't really mean anything, but it means everything. Unless there's a clear growth in that spot, Aaron Glenn's going to be in trouble. Yeah. Oh, I think Aaron Glenn, if I had to make a long-term prediction, he's gone at the end of next year. And I don't think I'm going out on limb here. But no, I think the Jets are looking for new head coach a year from now. When we're doing our January 12th, 2027 show, I am going to cut this out. Tiki and I will be talking about all the different jet candidates. And they'll all be first-time coordinators. You can mark my words. And then the other thing that added to my weekend,
