Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey held their end of the season press conference on Tuesday.
These press conferences are typically light on substance. The team is in the beginning stages of preparing its offseason strategy and doesn’t want to telegraphic the parts it has figured out.
Thus we got a lot of boilerplate stuff.
Some roster-related notes: * There was no comment on Justin Fields’ future, except Glenn saying, “He’s under contract.” (Usually the kiss of death.) * Mougey was hesitant to evaluate the QBs: “Obviously, we have to be better. We have to be better at several spots, QB included.” (Rather obvious) * On the perennial QB problem: Mougey said they will exhaust every option and will “have a good solution for the Jets.” He wouldn’t get into draft possibilities. * On whether they want to re-sign Breece Hall: Mougey said he’s a good player and they want to keep all good players (obligatory comment on a pending FA) * Glenn said there are “a number of coaches we’ll look at” for the DC vacancy. He wants an aggressive coach, and he wants “a lot of synergy between me and that coach.” He wouldn’t comment on potential staff changes.
Mougey did also talk about the timeline for the team to return to respectability.
One comment by Glenn did raise by eyebrows.
Glenn’s first season was one of the most disastrous in franchise history. The Jets were an embarrassment. This was about the worst first impression a coach can make with a new team.
I personally find the lack of self-awareness it takes to sit there and declare you are entitled to trust from the fanbase after this sort of season to be staggering.
But I guess that’s what we can expect from Aaron Glenn at this point.
