Summary

On Black Monday, the Jets and Giants seasons officially come to an end, and the focus shifts from speculation to hard truths. The Giants retain Joe Schoen in the name of stability, while the Jets face tougher questions after another embarrassing finish. The conversation centers on continuity versus chaos, why front offices crave stability when hiring a head coach, and whether hope and faith are enough to sell a broken fan base. Plus, a blunt reaction to Aaron Glenn’s “trust me” answer, why belief without evidence falls flat, and how both franchises now face defining decisions at quarterback that will shape the next decade.

0:05.1	Evan Roberts, hanging out with you doing our thing on a Black Monday, a Monday where mercifully the New York
0:11.4	jet season is over, the New York Giant season is over. We don't have to speculate about

0:50.2	I know people are upset about this, but it's a good thing.
0:53.0	Why is it a good thing?
0:53.7	Because you need some level of continuity with what's, with all the changes that are about to start

1:23.3	Right. That's when it gets really ugly and it doesn't present a united front from an organizational standpoint.
