Bill Cowher Has No Interset in Coaching Jets or Any Other Team

Take that rumor mill. 

CBS Sports analyst Bill Cowher poured cold water all over his fellow NFL Today colleague Boomer Esaison, who a week ago claimed that Cowher would be interested in the potential head coaching vacancy with the New York Jets. 

On the NFL Today Cowher announced he has zero interest in the Jets job, and in fact has no desire to coach. 

"I have too much respect for the coach profession to talk about a job that isn't open. From that perspective, any job that is open, I have no interest in coaching," he said. 

This is not surprising at all. Cowher, who hasn't coached a NFL game since 2006 when he abruptly retired following an 8-8 campaign in his 15th year in Pittsburgh, has been linked to jobs for years. He still hasn't taken a job once, let along interview. 

Whether it be the Jets, Giants or Carolina Panthers, Cowher has been linked to those spots and I am sure others in the past, and nothing has come of it. The fact that Esaison even ran with this idea a week ago on his radio show when he should have known better, is inexplicable. 

As of now Adam Gase is still the coach of the woeful 0-13 Jets. If he is fired (remember we are dealing with the Jonson brothers here) the Jets will choose among many young coordinators in the league or in college football.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
