This isn’t a fresh start.
This is Aaron Glenn’s second year, and it already feels like Year Five in Jets Time.

Glenn won three games in his first season, the locker room never fully bought in, and things unraveled so badly that Steve Wilks didn’t even make it to the end of the year. He was fired before the season ended—which is the football version of getting escorted out of a wedding before the DJ even warms up.

So let’s be crystal clear:
This defensive coordinator hire is not optional.
This is not a “let’s see how it goes” situation.
This is career CPR.

Aaron Glenn doesn’t need a cheerleader.
He doesn’t need noise.
He needs a football adult—someone who’s been in wars, won rings, and knows how to stabilize a building that already feels like it’s leaning sideways.

Because if this hire goes wrong?
There is no Year Three grace period.
There is no “he needs more time.”
There is just another coaching search and another reset button smashed into dust.

Now—let’s talk about the actual candidates.

Yes, Raheem Morris just got fired as a head coach.

No, that does not matter.
Because as a defensive coordinator, this guy prints Super Bowl rings like Monopoly money.

A Resume That Speaks Fluent Lombardi

  • 🏆 2× Super Bowl Champion as a defensive coach
  • Key architect of elite, adaptable NFL defenses
  • Known for player development, not just scheme
  • Coached top-tier units across multiple organizations
  • Respected by stars and role players alike

Morris isn’t a scheme-only guy. He adjusts. He disguises. He teaches. He doesn’t call the same blitz 14 times and pray the quarterback slips on the turf.

Jets Bonus Points (Because It Actually Matters)

  • 🎓 Hofstra graduate
  • 🏠 New Jersey native
  • Understands New York pressure and media insanity
  • Would instantly bring credibility and calm to Glenn’s staff

This is the kind of hire that doesn’t just help the defense—it helps Aaron Glenn survive.

Grade: A+
If the Jets don’t aggressively pursue Raheem Morris, they’re playing themselves.

Wink Martindale isn’t for everyone—but he is for teams that are tired of being pushed around.

Yes, he spent the last year at Michigan.
Yes, things blew up with the Giants.

But that wasn’t about bad defense. That was about two alpha personalities trying to drive the same car. Daboll wanted control. Wink wanted freedom. Boom—collision.

With Aaron Glenn? Different dynamic. Mutual respect. Defensive minds speaking the same language.

Why Wink Works

  • Decades of aggressive, blitz-heavy success
  • QBs hate playing against his defenses
  • Turns average rushers into nightmares
  • Brings an identity immediately

Grade: A-

🏅 SEAN McDERMOTT – THE “WAIT… HOLD UP” WILD CARD

Risky, yes—but at least the risk comes with proven results.

Is it likely? No.

Is it brilliant? Absolutely.

McDermott has:

  • Coached nine years in the AFC East
  • Seen every Jets flaw up close
  • Built elite defenses in Buffalo
  • Managed playoff expectations and real pressure

If he ever wanted to step back from being the guy and just coach ball? This would be a masterstroke.

He’d mentor Glenn, stabilize the room, and quietly raise the entire organization’s football IQ.

Grade: B+ (Dream Scenario)

This idea should not survive daylight.

Bart Scott—whose coaching résumé is exactly zero snaps, zero schemes, zero play calls—believes he should be the Jets defensive coordinator… for $1 million a year.

Let’s review:

  • ❌ Never coached
  • ❌ Never designed a defense
  • ❌ Never called plays
  • ❌ Never developed players

But he has:

  • 🎤 A loud mouth
  • 📣 Strong opinions
  • 🎧 Radio reps

This is not First Take.
This is not ESPN Radio.
This is not “Who Can Yell the Loudest.”

Running an NFL defense isn’t a podcast. You don’t just press record and hope it works out.

Bart Scott walking into Florham Park asking for seven figures is like someone who watches Top Chef demanding the head chef job at Nobu.

Grade: F—With Security Escort

1️⃣ Raheem Morris – A+

2️⃣ Wink Martindale – A-

3️⃣ Sean McDermott – B+

4️⃣ Bart Scott – Absolutely Not

The Jets don’t need noise.

They don’t need nostalgia.
They don’t need someone chasing a microphone-sized payday.

They need competence, experience, and calm.

Hire a real defensive coordinator—or get ready to do this all over again next year.

And Bart?
Stick to the mic.
Defense requires homework.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.

What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.

Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.

My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
