00:00I miss Robert Sala. He was the best head coach we've had in a decade, if not longer than that.
00:06And it's funny because with the New York Jets being 0-7 right now, and I'm in the camp that Aaron Glenn is not yet ready to be a legitimate head coach in the NFL, he might one day.
00:17And I happen to like the guy, but thus far he's proven that the job's a little too much for him.
00:22And we're going to, I guess, have to be patient and let him grow into it and figure out how to be a head coach.
00:28Because I don't think he's getting fired, even if they go 0-17.
00:31I just don't see that on the table from Woody Johnson because it'd be him admitting to yet another mistake in a career of making bad mistakes as the owner of the Jets.
00:39But I don't think we appreciate enough what Robert Sala did here.
00:43Robert Sala won seven games in back-to-back seasons with Zach Wilson, Mike White, Joe Flacco, Trevor Simeon, Tim Boyle, and four snaps.
00:54Four snaps out of Aaron Rodgers.
00:56Their defense was legit top ten.
00:59Their offense was just getting ready to start cranking.
01:02And, of course, Aaron Rodgers gets hurt.
01:03You know, four plays into that game against the Buffalo Bills on that Monday night.
01:07And I'm thinking about it.
01:09The thing that's starting to really bother me for the people that are defending Aaron Glenn and want to see Aaron Glenn stay is when we make the comparison.
01:18Well, you know, Aaron Glenn was on the Dan Campbell coaching staff when they lost their first, what, 10, 11 games, whatever it was, and had a one-win season out there year one in Detroit.
01:28And because Detroit was patient with him, look at the dividends it's paid now.
01:32A bunch of really good drafts, right?
01:35An aggressive coach that learned on the sideline of year one how to be a game-day coach.
01:40They had to make the big trade to get golf.
01:42And next thing you know, bang, the Lions are the class of the NFC.
01:46So that's one of the comparisons people keep making.
01:48Hey, Aaron Glenn's experienced this before.
01:51The problem with that is if we're going to make comparisons to other franchises and bad starts, like historically bad starts, well, then you have to include all of them.
02:04You can't just cherry pick the one guy that started off 0-11 and then became a perennial playoff team and a legitimate threat to make it to a Super Bowl and the number one seed last year in the NFC.
02:18Because the rule is that when you do get off to that kind of start, you never recover from that.
02:27You don't turn it around and become Dan Campbell.
02:30And the Jets should not make comparisons to Dan Campbell because they've experienced this type of start, although not 0-7, in their own history.
02:40Like, if you're a New York Jet fan, you have to remember the rich co-tied days.
02:45You have to.
02:46You have to.
02:47A one-win season, a three-win season.
02:50Just because Dan Campbell figured it out in Detroit and they benefited from super great drafts and an amazing trade, as it turned out, getting rid of a Hall of Fame quarterback in Matthew Stafford for a guy that we didn't think was going to be very good and turned out to be great, not good, and is building a great resume for himself in Detroit.
03:09And Jared Goff, you know, that's not the norm.
03:12That's the exception.
03:13Absolutely.
03:14You know, the Adam Gases of the world are the norm.
03:17The rich co-types of the world are the norm.
03:20You know, the Jeff Ulbrich, although it was a short amount of time, that's the norm.
03:24It's very rare to start off 1-15, 0-7, you know, 1-10, 2-12, whatever it might be, and then somewhere down the line with the same franchise have great success.
03:38That doesn't happen.
03:41So for those of you that want me to be patient and want me to say, well, you know, Aaron Glenn's experienced this before, so he's the right guy to get us out.
