Chapter 1: What are the latest developments regarding Frank Reich and the Jets?
Connor Hughes yesterday puts out things are progressing between the Jets and Frank Reich per sources. We'll see if the Jets can get it done. Their trying would be a big get for Aaron Glenn's offensive team. They don't plan on firing Tanner Engstrom, but his role with the team will change. Sources expect Frank Reich to take over as play caller.
We've said it many times, but you never know who's listening. You and Frank go back a very, very long time. If people don't know that, college roommate, best friends there for a while, still keeping contact. So I ask you once again, is Connor Hughes on to something?
I'm just, if he backs out on our golf trip, I'm going to be pissed. How are you? Yeah, I'm doing all right, G. You know, look, like I said yesterday, and I'll say it again, that the kind of news report, obviously, he had it nailed down. He was right. So, I mean, in terms of what he was saying prior to yesterday. Now, what he's saying yesterday, I can't confirm that. I don't know.
I haven't spoken to Frank in two days. Okay. So I can't confirm that. He's going dark on, you know what that means.
Chapter 2: How might Frank Reich's role impact the Jets' offensive strategy?
Well, I mean, I also know he's on vacation right now going through a litany of opportunities. I do know that. The wife can't be happy about that. It's a vacation and he's sitting there going, pouring over opportunities. It's football, man. You know, they get used to it. It's just football. It's just craziness. There's always something coming their way. I'm meaning coaches.
And if you're a good coach and you're a solid coach and you have a resume that Frank has, especially offensively, yeah, then you usually get a lot of opportunities.
And depending on how long your contract is when you were fired and how much money you have coming your way, there is a real lack of incentive to go back and play, I mean, or coach, because there's offset language in the new contract that you get. So let's just use round numbers so everybody understands. Let's say Carolina's paying him $10 million a year.
If the Jets pay him whatever, $3 million or $2 million or $1 million to be the offensive coordinator, that goes against that language of the previous contract. So you're essentially coaching for the same amount of money, but you're now working.
So it's like you're working for free.
It's like what he did with Stanford last year. What he did at Stanford last year was really, I mean,
our jewish friends would say he was a mensch yeah he picked up what andrew luck needed they had andrew luck had a fire like if you don't understand what happened at stanford last year uh andrew luck who is now the gm of the stanford football team not the ad of stanford he's the gm of stanford football and he raised over a hundred million dollars for stanford football it's a
Now, it's easy when you're out there with all those tech titans and all those people that graduated from Stanford, and your name is Andrew Luck, and you go walking in and you raise the money. It's crazy what he did out there. And Frank said it was remarkable just watching that part of it. And they had to let go of their coach last year. I think it was around March or April.
And, you know, now all of a sudden they're stuck. And I don't necessarily know that Andrew thought that he had a head coach in waiting on the staff that was left behind. So he called up Frank and asked Frank if he wouldn't mind coming to Stanford just as an interim head coach to get through the season and to teach kids and to teach coaches and to run an organization and to organize it all.

Chapter 3: What challenges does Frank Reich face in joining the Jets?
So if it does happen for the Jets, it will be a great hire for the Jets. My question to all of this is like, who the F is the quarterback? Yeah. Who are you running out there as a quarterback? His offense is so good. And I've seen what it looks like on paper. You better have somebody who knows what they're doing.
Yeah, I mean, that's a huge question. Just to go back for a second, obviously, if they hire him, it's great for the Jets. But I said yesterday I was confused as to why he would take the job. And WFAN Digital puts out the video of me saying, why would Frank Reich take the job?
And there was several people at the same take, which we debunked yesterday, which is that, oh, if things go sour, he could be elevated to head coach after Aaron Glenn gets fired. That's not true. anywhere in Frank Reich's mind, that's not what it is. So more thinking about it just from everything you've told me and talking about the Stanford thing and the type of guy that he is.
The reason he would take this job is because he is a different type of person than your average guy with his resume. He went out to Stanford to help out a buddy because a buddy called him and ended up having this unbelievable experience out there.
And by the way, what did that buddy do when Frank was the head coach? Quit.
Quit.
We're retired, yes. I'm not going to use the word quit, but he ended up retiring after he had a great first season.
At a very young age and shocking everybody. So Frank had a reason to have a bad taste in his mouth. Frank doesn't hold grudges. He doesn't hold grudges. Yeah, and he knows that Andrew was a great person. That was a great thing for him at that point or the right thing for him at that point in his career. So the same thing's happening here. Aaron Glenn and Frank Reich are friends.
They were teammates. Yeah, teammates and friends. They've stayed in contact and everything else. And Aaron goes, I need you. And Frank, because he's the guy that he is, is like, hey, I can help. I can figure this out.

Chapter 4: How did Frank Reich's previous experiences shape his coaching style?
And what's going on. And I did tell him, I said, I'll be honest, that I think Darren Muji has done an amazing job now setting this franchise up. But in my eyes, under these current set of circumstances, and tell me if you agree with me or not, this now becomes like a three-year process.
Unless they end up being terrible again next year, end up getting a quarterback at the top of the draft who is someone who steps in and is one of these guys.
You still got to give that guy another year. You got to give that guy a year.
But at least you'll feel like you're on track.
