Guess who's left standing in all this bloodbath.. Yep, the Man from Denver has risen from the "new GM" to GM/Pres of football ops. Only one thing remains and we all know what that is and when its gonna happen. The next head to roll will be Glenn's. It was written in the '26 schedule and the unspoken mandate to improve on 3-14. Glenn has now fired almost his entire CS in a attempt to save his job by winning a few more games. I'm not sure its possible to have a worse optic. Once Glenn is gone, it falls to Mougey to pick up the pieces. I have a feeling if anybody can pull this off, it will be Mougey. Woody had to make a drastic move but stay in the background as his reputation is deep in the shitter. The Giants landing Harbaugh forced Woody and the Jet Organization to take desperate measures or be relegated to irrelevancy for the foreseeable future. Today's firing just shortened Glenn's rope by several games as he won't get the entire season to turn the jets around. With an entirely new staff, its almost a certainty the Jets will be in the shitter one more time which will spell the end of the Aaron Glenn Era. I'm not saying Mougey engineered any of this. I am saying he was smart enough to play the long game and let Glenn hang himself with his own rope. Now for all intent and purposes, Mougey is king. We all hope he's up to the job or else as has been said: "Let go of the rope before we hang ourselves with it.."
I don't know if I'm ready to believe that there is some intelligent design behind all of this. The Jets have always hung out around Occam's Boulevard and it usually turns out they were just making shit up as they went along
Didn’t Glenn refer to Mougey as his sidekick in his introductory press conference? It’s like the detective in movie Usual Suspects asking the cripple Kevin Spacey, in what world are you smarter than me? Mougey is Kaiser Soze.
It's really incredible we decided to give the HC full power over the GM right as we hired an all-time bad HC and a seemingly competent GM. It would be hard to run a franchise less effectively if you tried.
I agree a billion percent. Mougey never got to hire his own coach, and Woody isn't going to allow Glenn to collect $10M a year for the next few years, so this is the next best thing. Mougey sets it up so that next year, Glenn is out and he can (hopefully) lure in a coach with the promise of a franchise QB and some draft capital. If the Jets draft a QB this year, I'm going to SCREAM. All the strategic pieces are in place to give Glenn enough rope to hang himself and the only thing that screws that up is drafting a QB. If they do, we can check back in the early 2030s to see if they're competitive yet. Sent from my SM-X820 using Tapatalk
I said to friends of mine earlier today that Frank Reich was being hired as the OC so he could take over as the head coach next year after Glenn gets fired. The more I think about it, it's the only thing that makes sense. Even though the Jets never do anything that makes sense, this would be epic even for them. Hiring a coach, having him fire his entire staff after year 1, hiring a new staff, then firing the coach and hoping to attract a new coach with a staff already in place? What are you going to do, fire the entire staff again? So the only thing that makes sense is that one of the coordinators that's being hired is being groomed as a head coach in the event that Aaron Glenn fails, which we know he will. Either that, or the Jets are doubling down and committing to Aaron Glenn for a couple of years regardless of the results next year, which I guess wouldn't surprise me either. Christ I hate this team.

Now all he had to do is hit a few homers in the draft. 8 picks in the top 55 over 2 years. We need 6 starters and 3 pro bowlers from those picks. It would also be nice to hit on a pick past the 3rd round for once. Looking at his past draft. He’s a big school drafting guy. That tells me he’s a high floor type talent evaluator. It’s definitely a safe method.
I don't think Woody can decide not to pay Glenn the rest of his contract. If he fires him he continues to pay him. The Raiders currently are paying 4 former head coaches.
