Bill Simmons tabs Aaron Glenn as one of worst coaches in NFL history: 'I can't believe how awful he is'

Jets fall to Kansas City

The Jets lost their fourth consecutive game Sunday, falling 35-12 to the Chiefs. The defeat renewed attention on Aaron Glenn, who is in his second season as New York’s head coach.

The article describes Glenn as facing criticism for game-management decisions and for emphasizing positive aspects of the team’s performance after heavy losses. ESPN’s Mike Greenberg called him an “absolute disgrace” in October.

Simmons cites coaching records

After the Chiefs’ win, Bill Simmons said on his podcast that Glenn ranks among the “worst NFL coaches of the century.” Simmons pointed to Glenn’s 5-21 record and discussed other coaches with low winning percentages. Simmons cited Burt Bell’s 10-46 record and Hue Jackson’s 11-44 mark. He also named Brian Callahan, Marty Mornhinweg, Chris Palmer and Rod Dowhower while discussing coaches with poor records over two seasons or more.

Sal Iacono, a frequent guest on Simmons’ show, joked that Glenn might ask team management for another season to pursue the record for the lowest winning percentage. Simmons replied, laughing, that Glenn could try to fall below Jackson’s record.

Future with Jets uncertain

Glenn’s 5-21 record has made him a target of criticism beyond New York, the article says. It also notes that he has pushed back against negative local coverage since taking the job. The article says it is difficult to imagine Glenn getting a chance to continue unless the Jets make a remarkable turnaround down the stretch.
