00:00
New York Jets have a new head football coach. His name is Aaron Glenn, a familiar face and name in
00:06
the organization. A first-round pick by New York way back in 1994, spent eight seasons in the
00:14
defensive backfield for gangrene, and after four years as Detroit's defensive coordinator,
00:20
Aaron Glenn, now the new head coach in New York. DRS, we talked about this yesterday, Aaron Glenn
00:27
interviewing with the Jets in Florham Park on Tuesday afternoon in person in the hope was for
00:33
the Jets they would not allow Aaron Glenn to leave without an offer and a signed deal to become that
00:40
next head coach. But he did depart back to the Motor City, mulled it over for about 24 hours,
00:47
and yesterday it became official. Aaron Glenn, now the new head coach of the New York Jets.
00:53
Been there, done that, right? Aaron Glenn knows the Big Apple, drafted there as a first-round
00:56
pick, played good football for the Jets, so he knows the organization per se and the fan base,
01:01
which is a great start, which helps you to get in that honeymoon stage like, hey, he's one of our
01:05
own. But let's understand this, you know, you talk about the X's and O's, which we'll find out what
01:09
type of coach he is, but you wanted really to pick the brains of the Detroit Lions organization and
01:14
say, this is how we're going to restart our team in that mold, where the city, the town, the fans
01:19
are going to buy into this. We're going to play hard-nosed football, we're going to be aggressive,
01:23
and these players are going to give it their all in the field, because that's something we haven't
01:26
seen from the Jets, particularly this past season. You fired Robert Sala to get a look at Albrecht as
01:31
the defensive coordinator, and it seemed like all of the town on the football team was just soft at
01:35
that point. Nobody wanted to fight for anything. It was different factions, the Aaron Rodgers
01:39
faction, the offense, the defense, players holding out, players not giving it their all.
01:44
We've seen that here. I think that ends on day one, which is fantastic, because that's half of
01:49
the battle. You must start that foundation and building it up, and the only issue is, this is a
01:53
veteran team. Can you teach those old dogs new tricks? That's always the question marks that are
01:57
going to pop up. Is this the complete rebuild, saying, I have a vision for this football team,
02:02
and the vision right now is unclear, because the players I have, I'm not really going to use the
02:06
future, because it's not really a young team. It's a veteran-laden team, which starts with the
02:11
quarterback on the offensive side. How about some of those aging linebackers, or Hassan Reddick,
02:15
getting a little bit older, holding out, getting a lot of money, and not performing at all.
02:19
I do think the culture is going to change, and that's a good thing, but for me, when I pick head
02:23
coaches, I always start on the offensive side, because that's the key ingredient. You can always
02:28
find a solid defensive coordinator to coach your defense, i.e., the Philadelphia Eagles getting
02:33
Vic Fangio, fixing the worst defense in the NFL, and turning him into the best defense in the NFL,
02:37
but the problem is always on the offensive side. I'm going to give the Jets the benefit of the
02:41
doubt, because I don't look at this hire and say, this was a bad one. Could this work out? Yes. Do
02:45
you need a new foundation? Do you need a coach that's going to be able to stand up in front
02:48
of your players and get the best out of them? I think you will, and we'll see how it plays out.
