Is there a great glimmer of hope that we can give all of the people that are starved for the Jets content.

They're not getting anywhere.

The jets should be fired into the sun.

Like they're, they're done.

They're, they're totally fit though and they should start trading guys right now that it's over.

I get I self preservation and there's gonna be a, a documentary in 10 years about this, the Aaron Rodgers chats and it is not going to be a pretty one.

Let's put it that way.

Is there some vindication for Robert Sala who I think got a lot of negative press when he was let go and now you see everything else going the wrong way.

You know, I, I heard plenty of people on ESPN saying that Sala wouldn't even get a look for another gig because of the way this Jets thing went crashing and burning and now I'm seeing that it's still crashing and burning.

Like, is there some saving grace for Robert Solis reputation out of that?

Yeah, it's interesting you thought that there was so much negativity on him when he got fired because I felt like the negativity was much more directed toward Aaron Rodgers, potentially forcing, if not, at least influencing this decision.

I think that Robert Sala will still get looks.

And as soon as next year as defensive backs, defensive line, defensive coordinator positions, I mean, if you're like a Ben Johnson type some or Bobby Sloe in your young offensive coach who is going to be running a team for the first time to have someone like Robert Sala who really has learned a lot of works and a lot of what doesn't and also the way he kept his defense motivated through all of those years of terrible quarterback play.

I don't think Robert so handled it perfectly.

Yes.

That team had too many penalties during his time and they have too many penalties after that said, I do think he commanded a level of respect in that locker room.

I do think that he got guys to buy in for him and you really don't often see defenses play as hard as they did for Robert Sala when their offense is so bad.

And so I think he should still be, uh, if not a top five defensive coordinator candidate next year, probably top 10.

I think he should be a head coach.

Like I really do, like, I think he's not gonna get that chance right away.

I mean, Adam was like, I get that, I get that and it won't happen, but I, I honestly wouldn't shy away from it either.

I, I think he's a good coach that just was stuck in the most impossible situation you'd be stuck with.

We've seen the, thats kind of have coaches who are pretty good coaches or just get ruined because they're on the Jets.

Like, even Joe Flacco couldn't overcome the Jets.

Even Joe Flacco, the great Joe Flacco.

So I agree that Sal's not getting a good job next year, but I think that he's gonna be rehabilitated really fast and I think he's gonna get another job and I think he's gonna be good at it.
