They're, uh, they're celebrating the fact that, and complimenting Aaron Glenn, the New York Jets, uh, head coach for firing Steve Wilkes after giving up 48 points, uh, to the Jaguars this past Sunday. Um, and I'm saying to myself, Why am I congratulating or complimenting the guy for firing Steve Wilkes when he's the guy that brought Steve Wilkes here? He hired. We all know that Steve Wilkes is a lousy defensive coordinator. That's why he got replaced after a year in San Francisco. That's why he, uh, stunk in Arizona. He had a small little, uh, taste of the good life in Carolina when he became the interim head coach before Dave Canals got there, uh, and the team played for him, and that's really extended, uh, Steve's career. But this to me, this isn't. I, I like the one part of me says this in regards to Aaron Glenn and this, I appreciate this part of it. When you make a mistake, you can't be afraid to correct the mistake as soon as possible. And the best example I have for that is the Arizona Cardinals when they drafted Josh Rosen, and they knew week one, Josh Rosen's not an NFL quarterback. Now, they drafted Josh top 10, maybe an 8th overall. You could fact-check me on that. And most teams when they make a commitment in a draft to a quarterback, you'll give that quarterback plenty of rope to eventually prove that he can't do it. The Cardinals knew from day one we made a terrible mistake here and literally within a year got rid of Josh Rosen. He went to Miami, if you remember, and they drafted Kyler Murray. All right, now, Kyler Murray is not great, but he's better than Josh Rosen, and they've gone, you know, to the postseason, I think once with Kyler Murray his rookie season, right? But I, you appreciated the fact that they own the mistake. And I'll say this about Aaron Glenn, I appreciate the fact that he owned the mistake. OK, I'll give him that, but I'm not gonna compliment him for doing it, because when the Jets were looking for a defensive coordinator, everybody with a microphone or a season ticket in their hand all said the same thing. Hiring Steve Wilkes is a bad idea. He's a lousy defensive coordinator. It's why San Francisco pivoted as quickly as possible and went back to Robert Salah as soon as he became available when he got fired from the Jets, right? The guy has a track record of being maybe not incompetent. But a bad defensive coordinator. And that's just facts. That's tangible. Put him on the chalkboard, facts. So rather than give Aaron Glenn credit, and again, I acknowledge that the Jets did something smart here. They recognized the problem. They didn't waiver on it. They got rid of him. That's the right thing to do. But you also have to own the fact that you're the people, because it's not just Aaron Glenn, it's a collective, obviously, with every team that thought for a hot minute that Steve Wilkes was going to be the guy to continue on very good defensive play, which to be fair, even in the years of Robert Salah's head coach, their defense was top 10.
