**2024 New York Jets official thread** - End of the Rodgers error...era (13 Viewers)

Rich Cimini on WFAN just now said he sees Grigson and Flores as a combo the #Jets like and thinks Glenn will be highly coveted by the Saints. Said Grigson would be at the top of their list if they go with experience.​


Little strange - Like because Glen is coveted by the Saints Jets are out? As bad as Woody is Saints awful cap/QB situation is worse.

Supposedly the trio would be Grigson, Flores and Josh McCown as OC - Im good with Flores and McCown but Grigson was awful with the Colts. Hes been the assist in Minny last few yrs but his malpractice with the OL that led to Luck retiring and trading for Trent Richardson should be a DQ. Perhaps they are all a pkg deal...Id consider Glen over this if he came with a Det coordinator and GM

If I had to pick from this list, I would go Aaron Glen.
 
Sports radio blowhards running the trade for Tomlin angle. Steller fans really are down on Tomlin - maybe there is a chance they move on. Jets should keep a close eye on that situation - Tomlin would be a home run hire for them. Wouldn't trade the #7 for him but I would consider sending picks to make it happen - maybe a 2d this year and next - Worked out well the last time,

Fans are down on Tomlin, but this is an ownership group that’s almost never changed coaches. I think it would have to take Tomlin first stepping down for it to happen and not sure he’s going to do that until he’s ready.
 
McCarthy out in Dallas - makes it interesting. He wanted the Jets last time and they went with Gase. Where does he rank on the list. Does check some boxes. HC experience, offensive coach - relationship with Rodgers. I have a feeling he will be a contender. Not sure how to feel about it yet....
 
Yeah, seems like Mccarthy probably isn't an option for the Jets. But his availability may result in less competition for Glenn
 
Hopefully the last two weeks shuts down the "lets bring Darnold back" crowd.

I was rooting for him but he sure cost himself a LOT of money these last two games.
Sam is who we thought he is - I actually think it may have the opposite effect - IF they bring in the Minny trio I think Sam got a lot cheaper to obtain - may even have to sign a one year prove it deal. Id be ok with him as a reasonably price bridge QB if they draft someone in say the 2d or 3rd rd or even next year. I doubt he gets franchised now or dealt so may be able to just sign him outright - have him compete with Tyrod - could do worse.
 
Little quiet on the hiring front - heard some beat writers predicting Jets hire a GM this week who would then be in on the HC interviews. GM hire could tip who is the HC fave.

Candidates still with momentum

Aaron Glenn - seems like only competition is Saints. Ive warmed on him but cant shake off another DC.

Flores - checks boxes - at least former HC. Hopefully would bring in McCown.

McCown - could be a dark horse - better to be a year early than late. Hes been talked about for a while - my concern of him coming in as a pkg with Flores is IF he puts out a solid O he's gone and left rudderless on O again. Im so desperate for a legit O Id seriously consider taking a shot on McCown if the deep dive shows him as a possible future solid offensive mind,

McCarthy - he openly wanted the job last time he was free - checks a lot of boxes. Say what you want about his big game crashes but he wins. Could be attractive if they extend AR for 2 yrs and he gets to coach him one last time but drafts/develops a young QB as well. Could do worse

Rex - speaking of worse lol - despite his best efforts to keep in the mix I just dont hear anything to show hes a serious contender.

anyone else out there that Im missing as a serious contender?

Definitely should be added - I'd put him right around Rex - no thanks!

Apparently he's now a leading contender. Can we say Adam Gase II?

Arthur Smith is about as close to Gase as it gets - would be at the bottom of list

Read that the Minny trio is gaining steam. McCown makes me the most excited of the 3 - problem is if hes any good he'll be gone soon.

No word on McCarthy which likely means AR is gone.

Glenn still out there - interested to see his D this weekend.
 
If they hire Smith, Hall will be 3rd on the team in carries and the leading WR will be Gipson. He loves to ignore the top players on the team.
 
Beat writer reported Aaron Glenn wants the Jets job bad and its top job on his list. Love to hear that! I know he's a DC with no HC experience but out of whats available I think he may be the best.

Former player who understands NY, the team history, fans and media; players love him but not a players coach who gets run over; part of turning around a loser franchise; seems to understand he needs to be involved in the O as well - I like so far. High on my list

Agree on this. Would rather give Glenn a chance than one of these recycled guys. Have to have a bit of trepidation going for one of the hot names in the assistant community, as it failed with Saleh, but sometimes they do work out.
 
If it’s Glenn, I hope that means Chris Spielman as GM.

Although we expected McCown to be tied to Flores, I don’t see why Glenn can’t bring him on board as OC.
 
Saleh getting some HC interviews surprised me - I think the team falling apart after he was fired made him look better than he is. Supposedly 49ers offered to make him highest DC in league - Cowboys want him as well. He's going to get another shot at some point - I could see him having a Bowles type career. Makes it even more important to get this hire right!
 
I'm all for getting a bunch of different perspectives, but at some point, its just TOO MANY interviews.

Just makes it seems like you have absolutely ZERO idea what you want.
 
Word is McCown wont leave Minny unless he is a HC - that takes some of the shine off Flores - also puts McCown in the mix for me as a flyer HC. Rather be a year early than a year late.
 
Aaron Glen is making an in person 2d interview with the Jets his 1st stop - lot of smoke here. With no GM in place if they go Glen there has to be an understanding in place on the GM - no way a coach in as demand as Glen takes the job without any clue or say in the GM.

If he's the pick its hard not to think its Saleh 2.0 - but there are some positives here. Homegrown Jet, seems to be more of an all around coach than Saleh, was part of a turn around of a dumpster fire - looks like a darn good X/Os guy as well as being CEO type of coach instead of all D all the time like the others

OC will be a big hire - Brunnell is another ex Jet/solid player who is the QB coach in Det and did a very good job with Goff - could see him coming as the OC.

Have a feeling AG may not leave the building when he comes in.

Agree, but not sure they’re close to a GM either, which could be the deterrent for Glenn. My uneducated opinion is that Glenn takes the Saints job with a bit more clarity/stability abound.

Saints seem to be a definite contender for AG but not sure if Id call that situation stable - they are in absolute cap hell with Jets much better nucleus of team.

As for GM I cant see that as being a deterrent if the Jets want him - im sure there is a pkg deal in place if AG takes the job....but you never know with Woody!

Fair - I meant more stable in terms of QB if they’re going to roll one more year with Carr and probably a more rational owner.
 
so 2d in person interview now for GM candidate Lance Newmark. Spent most of his career in Detroit before moving to Commanders last year. Spent 3 yrs with Aaron Glen in Detroit. Smoke now turning into fire for the Detroit combo. could be done deal soon it sounds.

Id rather have a HC with experience or an offensive coach but there just arent solid candidates out there that check those boxes. Im much happier with Glenn than some of those mentioned (cough Arthur Smith) - so at this point hope it happens!
 
How bad was Ulbrich to make Saleh get a couple of head coaching interviews? Holy cow. Ulbrich was so bad that somehow he made Saleh look good in comparison when Saleh was in fact horrific. I still have ptsd from these two guys.

I liked Glenn as a player and as a person. I wish him luck, but I cannot feel excited about this other than I'm excited it's not Arthur Smith or any of the retreads. None of the interesting coaching candidates wanted to come here. Not that I blame them. Our interview list was pretty bad.

Congrats to Tannenbaum for squeezing money out of Woody for basically nothing.

Another defensive coach. Yay! None of the OC candidates seem exciting. Time is a flat circle. Fast forward to the 2029 coaching search. At least we have the advantage of an early start again.

I know hope is a dangerous thing Red, but any chance we hire a President of Operations? Doubt it. Woody probably still wants to be close to the GM to make his cringey comments and suggestions.

And people used to consider me to to be the Jets optimist.

Can't wait to see him all animated on the sidelines celebrating stopping a 3rd and 3 only to give the ball right back to the opposition after three yards and a cloud of dust on all three plays we get.

Very similar feelings!

The Ulbrich mess definitely made Saleh look better than he was - he really needs to go back to being a DC for a few yrs to learn more but if he's offered something im sure he'll take it. Cant imagine him in charge of Trevor Lawrence's development!

Same as you on Glen. I really wanted a HC with experience coming from offensive side of the ball - the candidates just arent there. If you're comparing Flores (without McCown it seems) and Glenn I dont see it as a big difference as both come with baggage. At least Glen is an unknown with upside I suppose. Checks a lot of solid boxes - former Jet, wants the job bad, Parcells/Payton disciple, scouting background - more importantly he seems to be a coach players like without being walked over like Saleh.

Most important is he needs to be involved in the offense and pick solid coordinators - he seems to understand he needs to be more of a CEO coach - love this quote from him: "I understand the offense just as well as a number of people. So if you want to hire me, you're going to hire a coach, you're not going to hire a defensive coach. I'm going to talk to the offense just as much as I'm going to talk to the defense."

At this point we need to root for this to be locked up today as if he walks to the Saints they'll look like buffoons as usual - just gotta pray that this is a good hire as its far from a lock.

Despite his struggles, I think Saleh is viewed as a very good leader of men/CEO type, and perhaps that is enough to sway some other teams as long as he surrounds himself with the right assistants. But one of those assistants should be a game management coordinator.

not unfair - only hope is he's coming from an organization with a dynamic offense - we need to hope he learned that this is the way to win in the NFL now. Im going to be optimistic until he shows otherwise

I just didnt see it - he was a glorified DC. Ignored the offense, let players walk over him, awful in game coaching, lost all the fire that excited people when he was a DC - he's a fantastic DC. With a great team and coordinators around him perhaps he can be a Todd Bowles clone but Saleh had his chances with the Jets and showed little

I'll never forget my friend saying he would run through a wall for Saleh. Used car salesman with his phony slogans and t-shirts. Dude was checked out way before he was fired when he realized no one was buying into his charlatan act anymore.

Don't worry. The Jets will easily fuel your message board rage for a lifetime.

Probably true, although it often comes down to environment/ecosystem. Bowles landed in a great environment in TB, surrounded himself with the right people, and now he is viewed as a very good head coach. Which is why Glenn is already going to be behind the 8-ball if he takes the job.

Agreed - Bowles has a great set up in Tampa. Got lucky on a QB and a solid OC. Interested to see how he'd do if the OC leaves.

Perusing some Jet message boards and very mixed reaction on Glen. Not sure who would be markedly better that is available and wants to be here - I get that the playoff loss was a bad way to end but his defense was on fumes, banged up and got torched by perhaps the best rookie QB we've seen in a long time. Gotta give the guy a chance -

Fans are a fickle, irrational bunch focusing on what have you done for me lately. Everyone will point to his defense's disastrous showing against Washington and won't give credit for how the same undermanned unit manhandled the high-powered Vikings offense two weeks before to win the top seed - will say it was only Darnold.

The truth is probably somewhere in between - I guess we'll find out how much soon enough.
