Jets Choice for Coach Could be Between Aaron Glenn or Brian Flores

 We still got a long way to go in the Head Coach and GM search for the New York Jets, but it is starting to feel more and more likely that the Jets could wind up with either Detroit Lions Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn or Minnesota Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores as head coach. 

It has been speculated for days that this could be the case. 

Rich Cimini of ESPN speculated over the weekend that Flores could be a packaged deal with controversial former Colts GM Ryan Grigson, but then backed off that claim on a podcast with Will Parkinson on Monday. 

Still Flores is going to be a name to watch. His Vikings defense was really good this year until the final two weeks of the year when the Vikings got shellacked by the Lions in Week 18 and by the LA Rams on Monday night in the wild card game. 


 

Flores also has a lot of detractors. Many felt he lacked people skills in Miami his first time around as a Head Coach. Plus there was the whole lawsuit against the NFL for discrimination. He says he's changed, and many around him say he has. We shall see. 

 Glenn is a former Jet, and a very popular choice among many in the fanbase. He has done an oustanding job leading the Lions defense this year, and is seen as a favorite for either the Jets job or New Orleans Saints job. 

Keep in mind, following Mike McCarthy's exit from the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, there is a chance the Saints could go in on McCarthy, which might play into the a Glenn-Jets marriage.  We shall see.

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 ...

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...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
