Things were supposed to be different for this New York Jets team. That was what new head coach Aaron Glenn preached all offseason. He has continued to repeat the mantra after losses. But now, four games into the season, it's looking very much like the same old Jets.

Perhaps Glenn didn't really understand what he was in for here.

New York is 0-4. The Jets just lost to the Miami Dolphins, who were also winless going into the game. Apparently, the Jets are a great cure for that.

The Dolphins topped Gang Green 27-21 in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated. New York made it close at the end, but you never got the sense that the Jets were going to win this game.

There are a litany of problems with the Jets. They don't have a franchise quarterback. They have no wide receivers beyond Garrett Wilson. The defense appears to be a mere shell of the dominant unit it had been the previous three years. They are one of the most penalized teams in the NFL and were flagged 13 more times on Monday night.

Yes, Glenn deserves some of the blame here, but at what point do we say that the head coach won't even matter until New York fixes things at the top?

The Jets have missed the playoffs 15 years in a row. That is the longest active drought in the league. Barring a miracle, it's about to be 16. You know how many coaches they have had in that span? Six, including Glenn. Heck, the last coach to experience any type of success was Rex Ryan, who took New York to back-to-back AFC Championship Games a decade-and-a-half ago.

Glenn does appear to be in over his head, but can we really blame him when looking at this roster?

I do find it comical that the Jets actually thought they would solve some of their problems by going in a different direction from Aaron Rodgers, who looks pretty darn good over his first four games with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe, just maybe, Rodgers wasn't the issue?

Glenn did play a role in that, and while there is no shame in moving on from a 41-year-old quarterback, it's silly for anyone to sit and pretend that Rodgers held the Jets back.

This has long been a languishing franchise and likely will be for an even further extended period of time until it undergoes some sort of philosophy change in the organization. And why New York completely ignored the wide receiver position during the offseason is beyond me.

Concluding thoughts? We can point the finger at Glenn all we want, but we all know that there are deeper issues going on here, just like when Todd Bowles, Adam Gase, Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich were in charge.
