NFL News OT: J-E-T-E HC Aaron Glenn falls asleep at Scouting Combine

[turkeyneck]

J-E-T-E,
snore, snore, snore!

 

[Wozzy]

Jets don’t have a QB, so there’s that. Frankly if I were the headcoach I wouldn’t be sitting there watching drills. The raw data that comes from the drills is more important than sitting there watching them

It’s the interview process and medicals that should matter more for the personnel guys. Anytime you can spend with the prospects to understand them more is relevant.

Can’t confirm, but this was rumored to be from Aaron Glenn’s combine notes:

“I liked Jack Smith’s drills and measurable, but he snored so loud he woke me up. Concerned sleep apnea could be an issue for this player in the future.”

Lol, I've seen stories about this all over the place online today. Everyone is pointing and laughing at the Jete. Poor bastards, it's not even March yet and they're already the laughing stock of the league for 2026.

Personally, I'd go with dumb bastards rather than poor bastards, at least for the adults. They see what this organization is all about and yet they keep supporting it. 56 years of sucking, and on top of all that, going into this year with zero hope of even winning the division, never mind having a deep playoff run. If you can't see the pattern and find something better to do with your time and energy, you truly are a dumb bastard.

It made me think about my Sox fandom. I was a kid when I started following them in '74 and it took till '04 for me to see them win the Series, but at least I could look back at '67 to see some recent hope, and had the '75 and '86 appearances to keep giving me hope. Being a Jete fan would be like me not seeing anything but a few sporadic playoff appearances going back to '69, and even that wasn't a Championship. If I kept wasting my time and energy on the Jete all those years, I'd count myself as being one dumb bastard.

I also believe this is the final year of his Raiders contract.

I don’t see anyone running to give Josh another HC job.

I said at the start of this year if our offense and Maye make a leap he will garner interest again as a HC. Everyone told me how wrong I was.
I will double down, if our offense is equally efficient and Maye progresses even further, he will be a hot name next offseason.
This is not to say he is interested in leaving, that is a different conversation.
But I have not doubt he will have a market next year.

When you have an off-season line this one where so many teams fired their HCs, the pickings get pretty slim.

Maybe a team out there thinks for Josh, third time is the charm.

Right - any other team with that many first round draft picks and previous picks starting (both LT and RT) would be ripe for a quick turnaround.

Even if they don't draft a QB this year they could trade a draft pick for Mac Jones and have a decent offense as the 2026 QB draft looks deeper

But these are the Jets - and they still have the same owner.

It doesn't seem to matter who the Jets have as an owner, a HC or even a QB. They just plain suck.

I heard someone say that the Jets should have fired Glenn, but if they had, they would have been the least desirable job in a year with 11 vacancies. You are not getting a good coach if you are the team getting the 11th best candidate. So as much as I want to say the Jets Jetted this decision, it may have been the less stupid decision to keep him.

Media reports suggest they kept Glenn mainly because the owner didn't want to pay him and his staff to go away, then pay more to make a new set of commitments to the next guy and his staff. That too may be smart if your goal is to manage a budget rather than do some actual team building.

It's pretty clear that this upcoming season is a write-off, and the following one will be as well if they can't find a decent prospect at QB.

It seems their draft commitment will again be stacked heavily towards the defense, yet they have one of the worst offensive lines in the league, no decent starting QB, a free agent running back that is probably going to age out soon, one good WR but not much else.

For a team used to sucking, this is truly hitting a new low. At least in the past fans could convince themselves that Darnold, Wilson, Rodgers et al might be able to put something together. Now they know Fields can't, and they have nothing else.

And when they get Murray from Arizona, they'll still be much the same place they've always been.

It'll be just like the move to get Fields, yet this one will cost them draft capital instead of just salary cap.

Agreed, but they're so gun shy to draft a QB that they've really painted themselves into an awful corner.

A corner they deserve.

 

[captain stone]

Their QB selection strategy should be called "let's see what falls off the turnip truck!"...
