Summary

The clip everyone is talking about: Aaron Glenn on camera at the Combine looking like he caught a quick nap at the worst possible time. The show starts with some sympathy because anyone who has sat through the Combine knows how brutally long and dull it can be. But in New York, perception is reality, and for a Jets coach already under scrutiny, this becomes instant ammunition for critics and internet trolls alike. The crew breaks down why it is both unfair and unavoidable. Glenn might have just been “resting his eyes,” but once the cameras catch it, it becomes part of Jets lore. From comparisons to infamous New York sports moments to the fear that this clip will resurface every time something goes wrong this season, the conversation dives into how narratives stick and why Glenn may never fully escape it. Jet fans then take over the show, venting years of frustration and embarrassment fatigue. Connor Green voices what many supporters feel: it is not even about wins anymore, it is about begging the team to stop becoming a weekly punchline. Callers debate whether Glenn should have been more self-aware, how much blame is fair, and why it always seems to be the Jets making headlines for the wrong reasons.

We led the show doing a lot of giants here with the cave-on rumors, even the Jeremiah love smokescreens.

0:05.9

And I'm going to be honest from a radio mind perspective. I strategically didn't want to do this at 10 a.m. I wanted to give it an hour because I didn't want to feel like this was, you know, cheap banter, cheap fodder. But we got to talk about it. Go ahead. Aaron Glenn at the confine. I don't want to be paid it as Mr. Jedhater here, but let's all acknowledge what we saw.

0:27.3

And if you haven't seen it, it's everywhere on social media, everywhere on the internet.

0:31.2

Aaron Glenn is at the combine, which I'm going to first defend Aaron Glenn.

0:34.9

Boy, are these things boring.

0:36.3

We talked about yesterday, Teakis. And they're long. They're long. The days these things boring. We talked about yesterday, Tee-Kee.

0:37.5

And they're long.

0:38.5

They're long.

0:38.8

The days are ridiculously long. We talked about watching it on TV yesterday and how we used to have to do it to do national radio and people want to talk about it and that we don't feel obligated to watch the combine anymore. You'd rather just read the news clipping of the story. So I could only imagine sitting there for hours on end over the course of five days how boring it gets.

0:57.5

So I could only imagine sitting there for hours on end over the course of five days how boring it gets. So I want to sympathize first with Aaron Glenn. So there is a clip on the internet if you haven't seen it. If Aaron Glenn gets caught on TV at the Combine because guess what happens when you televise the Combine? You've got to start looking around. It coaches your GMs. There's nothing to talk about. You're doing sports talk radio at the combine, right? If you're on the NFL network. There's Aaron Glenn sitting there watching this 40 yard. You're doing the wildness golf. And they catch Aaron Glenn. And it could be read one of two ways. Either his eyes are really squinted reading something downward, which he's not.

1:29.8

Or he's resting his eyes a little bit. I'm not saying full-blown, knocked out, snoring. By the way, we've all been there. Of course, we've all been there. We've all been someplace for you just like, I just need 30 seconds. No doubt. I need a minute of not thinking about anything. Just to gather myself. and the cameras catch him at the wrong time and he does it.

1:44.0

And then what makes it worse

1:45.5

is it's almost as if somebody tells... thinking about just to gather myself and the cameras catch him at the wrong time and he does it and then

1:44.4

what makes it worse is it's almost as if somebody tells him Aaron they're showing you yes because

1:50.2

the TVs are up and he gets that startled look that's what tells me he was resting his eyes because

1:55.6

nothing exciting was going on that much to have that much of a jump scare into him not like oh my god did God, did you see that 40? Yeah. So now that I've defended him a little bit and understanding, I would also say this. It's also a terrible look. It's a bad look because we already feel like he's in over his head and he's trying to figure out how to be the right kind of head coach. Exactly.

2:18.3

Exactly.

2:22.1

And this is not, I mean, partially Aaron Glenn's fault, but it's not fully Aaron Glenn's fault that all eyes are on him this offseason.

2:24.6

But like it or not, Aaron Glenn might be approaching a near-two an enormous hot seat.

2:29.8

There's a lot of questions about what the heck the Jets are going to do.

2:32.3

They also made the biggest news of the day yesterday when they traded Jermaine Johnson. Hello, Aaron Glenn. Maybe you understand that the Jets are a topic yesterday on TV? Huge one. Huge topic. So you're going to get back to your hotel at night. You're going to rest. If you're Aaron Glenn, it's just, you know the Giants we did the whole John Harbo as a CEO type head coach and that's what they look for?

2:54.0

That is not what a CEO type does with the lack of awareness that cameras can be on. Yeah, I feel bad for him. I feel bad for him, too, but it's impossible to ignore it. It's a bad look for it. And it's also, because of the scrutiny that's surrounding him, he's never going to get the benefit of the doubt. No.
