Jets reporter says Aaron Glenn allegedly told people the Jets are his first choice to be HC

It's incredible that the only owner in the league more psychotic than Jim Irsay continues to dupe people into working for him.

Yes, the Jets are in better shape from a roster and salary cap perspective. No, the Jets do not have a better FO than the Saints do. They don't even have a GM in place. Finally, I wouldn't live in or near New York for free. The mere thought makes me nauseous.

That said, the Jets are the one organization that Glenn has deeper ties to than the Saints. I can absolutely believe this story is true, and mentioned it in the McCarthy thread. If you get in front of McCarthy and he's still got the juice to endure a soft rebuild, you don't let him leave the building without a signed contract. Glenn is far from a sure thing to choose the Saints. The rest of the candidates we're involved with are more likely to bust than to succeed. McCarthy is the guy we need at this juncture.

I think you are spot on for most of this. While at this moment we could say we have a better front office than the Jets, it's kind of like saying we're both terminal but we have a little longer to live (than the Jets). Neither are good situations.

I think we (fans) spend too much time on location. Having two (or more) homes is nothing to these folks. You can hate where your primary residence is, but travel often to other homes and places (during the off season).

I was listening to the NFL channel on Sirius and they were discussing AG's connection to the Jets. They seemed to believe thats were he will end up.

As for McCarthy, they were saying that Mike knew he would be out of Dalas 6-8 weeks ago. Said he was enjoying coaching and supporting his players. He was content with the eventual outcome. They also said that while McCarthy could not talk with other teams, certain conversations could be had that skirt around the rule. McCarthy's people could say "if Mike were available, is he the kind of guy that would interest you". Then a team could say "yeah, a coach like Mike would be great". They insinuated that those types of conversations happend with a couple of teams.
