So, picture this: You’ve got two guys who are kinda brand new to their gigs, right? They’re like, at the helm of this big ol’ ship called the Jets franchise. And honestly, maybe they’re feeling like the deer in headlights (like most of us would), ‘cause man, the last time the Jets danced into the playoffs was back in 2010. That’s like, ancient history in sports years, or at least it feels that way.
So, here’s the thing: Darren Mougey, the general manager — sounds all official and whatnot — and Aaron Glenn, the head coach, are just 13 weeks into their grand adventure together. Yep, just thirteen. They’ve been hanging out, plotting and planning, and calling 1 Jets Drive in Florham Park, N.J. their little strategical base camp since good ol’ January, thanks to Woody Johnson, the team owner. Fun fact: not to be confused with the shampoo guy, in case you’re wondering. It’s like they’re on a buddy cop show, but really, they’re trying to put together a winning football team.
The two of them are bonded together like peanut butter and jelly in this ongoing saga of the Jets trying to not be… well, you know, the Jets that trip over their own shoelaces. If you’re into that drama where everyone’s either on the brink of disaster or greatness, they’re your guys.
And, get this — they’ve kept things as quiet as a mouse sneaking for cheese in the offseason. Like, really low-key. But it’s on purpose; they’ve got a plan. It’s like one of those spy movies where there’s more whispers and nods than actual words spoken. Are they secret masterminds, or just playing it cool? Dunno, but they seem to think it’s the way to go.
