Takeaways from Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn’s introductory press convention as Jets GM and head coach

The New York Jets have a brand new head coach and a brand new common supervisor. Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey had been formally launched to the fanbase on Monday of their introductory press convention.

In actuality, this would be the least essential job both of them conducts throughout their tenures. Press conferences don’t win video games. More often than not, the introductory occasion is a formality used to fireplace up a fanbase hungry for a turnaround. Except you do one thing that turns right into a meme alongside the strains of Adam Gase in 2019, the pinnacle coach and GM often come away profitable the press convention.

I feel this presser was no exception. Glenn and Mougey each introduced themselves properly, projected the boldness needed to fireplace the fanbase up, and averted any main pitfalls.

What different takeaways are there?

Glenn was noncommittal about the way forward for Aaron Rodgers.

After all time will inform, however it might have been very straightforward for Glenn to say it immediately if he needed Rodgers again. My educated guess is that he would by no means outright say the group didn’t need Rodgers again however slightly keep noncommittal. In order that appears notable.

Glenn gained’t name performs on protection.

I wouldn’t categorize this underneath “good” or “dangerous.” It might work properly with or with out the pinnacle coach calling the performs. I might solely say that this provides significance to Glenn’s defensive coordinator rent.

Glenn and Mougey will each report back to Woody Johnson.

This marks the third time within the final decade the Jets have modified their head coach and common supervisor reporting construction. Robert Saleh nominally reported to Joe Douglas. Previous to that, the Adam Gase-Joe Douglas, Adam Gase-Mike Maccagnan, and Todd Bowles-Mike Maccagnan pairings reported on to possession. Previous to that, the pinnacle coach reported to the overall supervisor.

Mougey made one remark work remembering.

All proper. I’ll admit that is fairly boilerplate stuff. Any common supervisor introductory press convention will contain the brand new man saying some model of this. The “maintain our personal” half is what drew my consideration, although, with so lots of the group’s key gamers approaching the expiration of their contracts.

Mougey and Glenn appeared comfy with one another.

Once more, that is fundamental stuff. All people goes to play good on day one. It’s straightforward to love the man you’re working with earlier than there was the potential for any battle or disagreement. However for a Jets group the place the GM and head coach have steadily not been on the identical web page during the last decade and a half, it does not less than look like there was a concentrate on discovering a duo who work properly collectively. That hasn’t at all times been true for this group in hiring choices. I’ll name {that a} optimistic.
