No, Aaron Glenn's job with the Jets shouldn't be in danger

1 week ago 2

The New York Jets lost their fourth consecutive contest in Week 17, having been blown out 42-10 by their rival New England Patriots.

The Jets have been outscored 153-46 throughout that stretch, allowing an average of 38.25 points per contest. There have been whispers and discussion about Aaron Glenn's job security.

No, the Jets shouldn't fire Glenn. They're 3-13 and one of the worst organizations in the NFL. Some analysts believe they are performing below expectations. Getting embarrassed in four consecutive outings understandably leads to job-security discussions for inexperienced first-year coaches.

The Jets are undergoing a painful rebuild. They're supposed to be losing. Pulling the plug on the disastrous Aaron Rodgers experiment was always going to come with a difficult adjustment period. You know what NFL teams do during adjustment periods? They lose, a lot.

The Jets can't field a competitive team with Brady Cook at quarterback. The offense isn't talented enough to function with a rookie undrafted quarterback and without its top weapon, Garrett Wilson.

The defense has seen way too much of Eric Watts, Khalen Saunders, Payton Page, Braiden McGregor, Jordan Clark, and Dean Clark in recent weeks. How is the defense supposed to hold offenses under 30 points with such a glaring lack of talent?

The Jets traded Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner because they admitted this is a multi-year rebuild. Firing Glenn would achieve nothing but to stall any progress made by Darren Mougey and this coaching staff. The Jets are at a mismatch advantage at almost every single position.

The organization doesn't possess the best league-wide reputation. Owner Woody Johnson is viewed as reactive and short-fused. The Jets haven't had a winning season since 2015. Firing Glenn and re-starting the rebuild isn't going to solve their problems. They must endure, maximize their draft capital, and carry on.

It can get better. The Jets simply need to commit to a process and stick to it.
