Summary

The Jets hit rock bottom over the final weeks of the season, and the frustration is justified. But this segment digs into why firing the head coach after one year could actually make a bad situation worse. From a noncompetitive roster and brutal point differentials to a locker room shaken by midseason trades, the conversation centers on why patience may be the smarter gamble when there is no clear upgrade waiting. It is a hard look at a franchise with no quick answers, no obvious savior, and a future that cannot be repaired by panic decisions.

Aaron Rogers going to Pittsburgh, winning 10 games, and making the playoffs is not a part of that disaster.

0:06.8

Like, I know we were all debating this nine months ago about bringing Rogers back versus not bringing Rogers back.

0:12.1

And while I didn't like the bedside manner of Aaron Glenn in his approach, I cannot look at what happened last night.

0:18.1

And that was insane game.

0:19.6

That was drunk as hell.

0:20.5

I cannot look at the result of last night and the result of Aaron Rogers and say, see, if they

0:26.2

would have kept them, everything would have been different. I got news for you. If they would

0:30.0

have kept them, you're right, everything would have been different. And it actually would have

0:33.5

been worse because they wouldn't have won a lot of games. They would not have traded Sauce Gardner and Quinn and Williams.

0:40.7

And they would have ended up with, sure, more victories.

0:43.0

But how many more victories?

0:44.5

And where would the future be?

0:45.9

Yeah, but it would have felt so much different than it felt at the end of this year.

0:51.1

This in these last five games for the Jets have been abysmal.

0:54.8

Yes.

0:55.1

It is almost as if, you remember two years ago when we were watching the Giants? They were all beat up. Dabes was trying to figure out, you know, who's playing, this is a guy off the practice squad. We just picked this dude up off the street. And it was non-professional football. Yes. I remember coming in and saying this is not a professional football team.

1:12.9

This is a team that maybe... the street and it was non-professional football. Yes. I remember coming in and saying this is not a professional football team.

1:12.9

This is a team that maybe could win at the highest levels of college football.

1:18.4

That's what the Jets defensively at least, really offensively as well, because Brady Cook has

1:22.5

been nothing, but inept and inefficient.

1:26.8

I mean, what was he right before halftime? It was one of six for two yards. Dude, he was as inaccurate as you'll ever say. He's not an NFL quarterback. Exactly. And it's not professional football. And so when you watch games like that, you obviously are saying the talent's not there, but you can't help.

1:44.3

And it's not Aaron Glenn's fault, but say, man, this guy just can't coach. It's not his fault, but you say he just can't coach. Well, hold on. If that's how you feel about him, then I assume you're one of the many voices who are going to come on the radio today and say that Woody Johnson should fire him. And he should be one and done. I don't believe. Because I know a lot of jet fans feel that way.
