you know the way that how tense it seemed like aaron glenn was getting around the mid-season point when they're asking him about justin fields and asking him about the lack of a passing game and it just feels like this thing is totally doomed for him to maybe get a third of the way through the 2026 season the team is losing you excuse the coach you dismiss the coach you

you kind of play out the string and now you're going to have a GM that's probably going to feel really safe because I did my job in getting us this war chest of all these picks that we can use to turn over this roster, right?

So if I'm Aaron Glenn, I am very much stressed out.

I don't feel like, oh, 2026 is an anything can happen type of year.

This 100% has to be a, we can go 5-12, we can go 6-11, but we've got to look like the way the Saints looked in the second half of the season in 2025, where we are very competitive in our division, we're winning games, we're competitive in games, we shouldn't be by conventional wisdom.

Unless some quarterback lost their mind and said, I want to be traded specifically to the Jets for those first round picks that they just acquired.

There's no way that a quick turnaround is coming.

And I think that the last piece I would say, and this is really what concerns me about Aaron Glenn, whether he's calling the defense or not, you looked at guys that were good under Robert Sala and Jeff Ulbrich get markedly worse.

I think that was probably the thing that was most concerning.

The fact that Quincy Williams was kind of being pulled off the field.

When I was watching Quincy Williams and he was playing under Robert Sala, that looked like one of

the best inside linebackers in football.

There's no way that that guy goes from being at that level to barely playing for the next head coach.

And that's not a poor reflection on the development of play under this regime.

So I think something has got to change in a major way if we want to see Aaron Glenn last past the 2026 season, hell, past the midway point of the 2026 season.

This one definitely feels like we are headed towards an ugly end in New York for him.

I think the most optimistic case that you can make is that Philadelphia is doing what it always likes to do with this coaching hires, which is to make a very inspired off the beaten path.

We went through and did this thorough process of interviewing a bunch of candidates.

We did background on all these candidates and we found this guy that nobody in the NFL was ready to give this responsibility to.

But look at us, Philadelphia Eagles.
