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

0:08.1

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. And I think

0:27.3

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

0:34.2

has a lot of experience being an offensive coordinator. He has experience being a head coach. He will be a trusted, competent voice in the room, despite the failure that happened in North Carolina with the Carolina Panthers. And we kind of can explain that one away because how he got hired, when he got hired, he had a quarterback that was young.

0:55.2

He needed to want to win right now. It just wasn't the right fit. But I think Frank Reich is a good

1:01.0

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

1:08.5

the Jets, 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 is 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 out of taking a job in 2021.

1:58.6

The head coaching job? I forget what the job was. I don't remember. I just remember we were angry and I was like, but look, Boomer's right. I was mad at the time.

2:00.3

I'm always mad at the time because I'm a fan and I want my team to do well, but he's not

2:02.4

wrong. I mean, the Jets are a dumpster fire, which we'll get

2:04.3

into in a few minutes. 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.

2:17.6

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.

2:18.4

It's fantastic.

2:17.6

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

2:18.4

It's fantastic.

2:34.4

Overall, they 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, wonderful head coach to begin with in Indianapolis, was dealt with an awful

2:39.8

hand, got fired midseason, the Carolina disaster, whatever. If you want me to delete it from

2:45.4

my memory I can. Yeah, I kind of forget it sometimes, to be honest with me. And maybe we should.

2:49.4

The reality is he hasn't been an offensive coordinator in nine years. And he's fine. He's a fine hire. But the truth is, I know, you know, Geo knows, Sean, well, we don't count him right now. Cred knows. I don't know. He's got all the Jet News. That's true. Big Mac knows.
