Summary

Evan explains why most Jets fans wanting Aaron Glenn fired sounds logical on the surface, but completely ignores reality. The big-name coaches fans dreamed about were never coming, and Cleveland’s messy search proves just how toxic certain NFL jobs have become. The conversation dives into Glenn blowing up his own staff, why that signals both accountability and inexperience, and how the Jets are stuck without the relationships, quarterback, or organizational respect needed to attract top coaching talent. The segment closes with a sobering truth for Jets fans: the only real path forward might be painful losing, draft capital, and finally finding a quarterback who can build the bridge this franchise desperately lacks.

I would say, Tiki, most jet fans wanted Aaron Glenn fired, especially when they saw who is available amongst the coaches.

0:09.0

Yes.

0:09.3

When you saw Mike McCarthy, when you saw John Harbaugh, when you even heard, oh, Mike Tomlin's available.

0:15.0

And so I was in the minority in not defending Aaron Glenn, because I don't like I ever defended him, but more, I didn't

0:21.5

like the road of getting rid of him after one year, because my biggest concern was all those guys

0:26.1

that I just mentioned, they weren't coming here.

0:28.4

John Harbaugh clearly was not coming here.

0:31.3

Yeah, he wanted to go to the Giants.

0:33.4

And if he didn't want to go to the Giants, he would have gone somewhere else.

0:37.5

Mike McCarthy just got the Steeler job.

0:41.3

On what planet was a Pittsburgh-raised Mike McCarthy not taking the Steeler job?

0:48.0

Number three, Mike Tallinn, as you have said from the beginning, going all the way back to June isn't taking any job.

0:54.7

But the other thing that proves my point is what's going on in Cleveland.

0:59.2

Nobody wants the job.

1:01.3

You've got guys bowing out left and right.

1:05.0

And if you think people were bowing out of the Cleveland job,

1:08.6

what do you think would have happened for this jet job?

1:11.7

Yeah, unless there, and until there is a step towards competency from an organizational standpoint,

1:18.2

that might simply just be successful on the football field, or at least half success on the football field.

1:23.3

Then it becomes a non-desirable location for guys, because you're going to go there, get fired in a couple of years,

1:30.5

and ruin your trajectory if you're a coach.

1:34.5

And so it's almost like, so I predicted before.
