Jets Likely Have No Choice but to Fire Aaron Glenn After Season

It was another very disappointing showing for the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon, something that it feels like we're just getting used to saying at this point. 

After what was supposed to be a much different season for New York, it doesn't look like anything has changed from top to bottom. 

The team isn't good enough, the general manager didn't make the right offseason decisions, and the coaching staff hasn't done enough. We could go down a long list of why the Jets are as bad as they are, but the harsh reality is that none of it matters. The Jets are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and once again, this fan base that's dying for success has to deal with that.

I'm at the point where I'm unsure what to do with head coach Aaron Glenn. 

There are times when it feels like Glenn deserves to keep the job, but again, this is the NFL, and he's not winning games. If the Jets want to be a Super Bowl-contending team in the near future, it's pretty clear Glenn isn't the guy who'll get them there.

At the same time, I don't want to blame him for everything that we've seen. The Jets have been one of the worst-run organizations in all of football throughout the past couple of decades, and they've had multiple coaches attempt to fix things. 

At some point, we have to put blame on others rather than the head coach, so if people want to say that Woody Johnson is the guy who needs to go, although that's never going to happen, I can at least understand that.

In regard to what's going to happen with Glenn, it only feels safe to say that he's eventually going to lose his job. 

Whether that ends up happening over the next couple of days or at the end of the season, the Jets will ultimately have a decision to make. He has a 5-21 record all-time, and there's absolutely no way that Johnson can look at him with a straight face and say that he deserves to come back next year.

“If coach Aaron Glenn has any chance of saving his job -- with a 5-21 record, it looks bleak -- he needs to stave off the resignation stage. That's when it gets really ugly, when the energy is drained out of the locker room, when fissures form among players. It's when hope is gone.

“Presumably, Glenn will have the final eight games to convince owner Woody Johnson that the organization is heading in the right direction under his leadership. It could be an insurmountable challenge,” Rich Cimini of ESPN wrote.

Even throughout these final eight games of the season, let's say the Jets win half of them, it doesn't even feel like that should be able to keep his job. 

This is going to be another lost season in terms of falling below .500, and no matter how anybody wants to spin it, that's inexcusable.
