Summary

The Jets finally make it official: Frank Reich is the new offensive coordinator. Tiki calls it a smart, stabilizing hire for Aaron Glenn, but Evan keeps it real, a “single to center field” that doesn’t fix the one thing that matters most: quarterback. They dig into Reich’s résumé (Philly success, Indy chaos, Carolina disaster), why some fans can talk themselves into it, and why the vibe around the franchise still feels inevitable. Then it turns into a full-on Jets credibility brawl. Shaun Morash is in the crosshairs of Jets fans and Craig Carton after yesterday’s reporting, and Evan lays out why the public treats them like extremes. Morash pushes back, defends his sourcing, clarifies the Darren Muji comments, and explains why the Jets always seem to be playing defense. Plus, the show tackles the bigger point behind all of it: Woody Johnson’s involvement, the “toxic” perception around the league, and why Jets fans can’t get inspired until the organization proves it can simply win.

Number one, Sean Morash is in the crosshairs of Jet fans, as well as Craig Carton.

0:08.2

We'll get into that in just a few minutes based on Sean's reporting from yesterday.

0:12.4

But as you just may have heard with Boomer and Gio, we now know who the Jets' offensive coordinator will be.

0:18.6

It was rumored for a while. It felt like it was inevitable.

0:21.9

But Frank Reich is the new OC. Tiki, how are you? Your thoughts? I am good this morning.

0:26.7

And I think this is a good hire for the New York Jets, for Aaron Glenn, specifically, because Frank

0:33.8

Reich has a lot of experience being an offensive coordinator. He has experience being a head

0:40.0

coach. He will be a trusted, competent voice in the room, despite the failure that happened

0:45.7

with the Carolina Panthers. And we kind of can explain that one away because how he got

0:52.2

hired, when he got hired, he had a quarterback that was young.

0:55.2

He needed to want to win right now.

0:57.5

It just wasn't the right fit.

0:59.2

But I think Frank Reich is a good hire.

1:01.7

It's not necessarily a grand slam home run, but it's one that fits the bill of getting the Jets.

1:09.3

Hopefully, if they get the talent right, back, specifically the quarterback, back to being somewhat of a stable offensive system that we haven't seen in a couple years here. What do you want me to do here? You want me to be real? I mean, the reality is, they're still probably going to be bad. There you go. But they're going to suck. But he's not going to be here in two years. I'm talking about from a coaching hire. Yes. You needed someone who you could be like, at least the wall's not going to fall down. Yes. And that's where I stand. It's a single to center field. I got no issue with Frank Reich. I still remember Craig and I being pissed off at Boomer four years ago when Boomer admitted he talked Frank Reich. I had to take it a job in 2021. The head coaching job? I forget what the job was. I don't remember. I just remember we were angry and it was like, but look, Boomer's right. I was mad at the time. I'm always mad at the time because I'm a fan and I want my team to do well, but he's not wrong.

2:02.7

I mean, the Jets are a dumpster fire, which we'll get into in a few minutes. So I think when you look at Frank Reich's resume, it's a solid resume. Obviously had great success in Philadelphia as the offensive coordinator. I mean, Carson Wentz was basically an MVP player. Yep. They go out, they win a championship with Nick Falls as the backup.

2:17.9

It's fantastic.

2:18.7

Overall, they did a fine with Nick Falls as the backup.

2:17.8

It's fantastic.

2:18.7

Overall, did a fine job in Indianapolis and was dealt bad circumstances. In Indianapolis, he had a horrible bunch of horrible. He didn't have a quarterback in any year. He also had a quarterback that retired out of nowhere. Right. I totally get that. That's why I want to be fair to him. So I thought overall, great O.C. in Philadelphia,

2:36.0

wonderful head coach to begin with in Indianapolis, was dealt with an awful hand, got fired midseason.

2:42.2

The Carolina disaster, whatever. If you want me to delete it from my memory, I can.
