The issue there is staying committed to a guy that is showing you that he wasn't the guy for as long as he did.

So that was part of the problem there.

And then you think about staffing, right?

You make a move mid-season with your defensive coordinator.

You guys sell, but your defensive pieces, right?

You send Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis.

You send Quentin Williams to Dallas.

And those were sensible moves in terms of setting up 2027 and beyond, right?

I wouldn't even say for 2026, but really seven and beyond.

But that means that you're getting worse, right?

The thing that is supposed to be his stamp, which is defense, isn't improving at all.

There's no market improvements.

If anything, I would say it looks even worse now than it did in the last year under Robert Sala and Jeff Ulbrich, right?

When they were just trying to hold that thing together.

And then you get to this point where you're trying to demote your OC and now you ultimately have to part ways.

You try to bring in a DC and then you're kind of undercutting him by saying, actually, my head coach is going to call the plays.

Which means I got like Wink Martindale is never signing up for that gig.

He's never signing up for that gig.

It's just all these things that are happening kind of in succession that make you ask, does Aaron Glenn, does this regime with he and Darren Moogie, like, do they actually have a firm grip of the wheel here?

Or is this just more just Jets incompetence kind of infecting everybody in this process?
