Jets reporter says Aaron Glenn allegedly told people the Jets are his first choice to be HC (3 Viewers)

[No2DC]

This is just speculation by Ralph, but it makes a lot of sense that Glenn's agent would float this rumor to make sure the Saints make a good offer and hope to entice other teams to step up their efforts. It's tough for a defensive coach to get HC jobs these days and they have little leverage to get the best salary or to negotiate things like staff size and money for staff contracts.

I know people suggest we're a good organization, but do we spend top money on staff and coaches? For example, the Commanders have two former HCs as offensive coaches. Are we willing to hire an all-star staff, or are we considered cheap?

I don't know. I haven't heard anyone ever claim that the Saints are cheap or that they don't pay top dollar for coaches or that they don't give coaches the staff they want and the money to get them. I also think that they likely spent a good bit of money last year hiring Kubiak and the rest of his offensive staff. I also recall that DA seemed to be getting paid a lot of money for a guy that really had not other options for a HC job. But, I don't really know.

I did however hear that one of the issues between Jerry Jones and McCarthy was that Jerry wanted to reduce the size of his staff.

wasn't Derek Carr destined for NY as well?

 

[St. Widge]

I know

I know that you do. Just making sure that others, who might not know who Ralph is, realize that Ralph isn't reporting that this is what is going on. He's just making what appears to be a logical conclusion about what is going on.

Guys like that are why Nick doesn't share more information on Twitter.

Don't know why that wording sounds funny to me.

I think the fact that we invested in Benton and Dennison last year to work on the new scheme, two guys who have been highly paid O-line coaches before, indicates the Saints aren't penny pinchers with the staff.

So we're reading minds at this point, ha. Gotta love the New York media.

Why should the new York media be different from this forum?

Nick’s characterization of this being a mischaracterization of Glenn’s outlook is accurate.

The Saints do not have a worse front office or owner. And the Jets also have coach killer, Aaron Rodgers. And, some of us like living in New Orleans. And that NY media eats coaches alive.

I concur. Mickey has done a lot to draw the ire of fans. That happens when you have four straight seasons when you don’t go to the playoffs. But there was a time not long ago when he could do no wrong and when “Loomising” was a thing. Reality is, he’s the same person then as he is now. Sean and Mickey balanced one another, however. And truthfully, winning makes you overlook certain peculiarities—in this case Mickey’s but it was even true with Sean.

In essence, team success requires a lot of different parts working synergistically and with clear vision and that has not happened. Still, I’d take the Saints front office and ownership over the Jets. And that is very much with Mickey needing to get it right this time.

It’s not. Glenn has privately said that his history with the Jets makes it a very attractive and intriguing situation. Same stance he has on the Saints. So, it is mischaracterization if not a total embellishment on the part of the Jets beat writer to say that Glenn prefers the team.
