It feels like the Jets finally quit on Aaron Glenn during Chiefs loss

The New York Jets' season was over the second they lost to the winless Miami Dolphins in Week 7. In Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Aaron Glenn's tenure as head coach effectively came to an end, as New York sank into an insurmountable hole for the remainder of 2026.

In Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team officially let go of the rope, and while Woody Johnson clearly doesn't want to make any rash moves like firing a head coach in-season for the second time in three seasons, we are getting dangerously close to that becoming a necessity.

The Jets fought in the first half. They entered halftime trailing just 14-12 to Kansas City, but every fan watching from the comfort of their home or the sorry fellows who made the trek to Arrowhead Stadium knew the reality. New York was not winning this game.

But it wasn't just the fans who knew this one was over. The players in the locker room felt it too, and you could absolutely tell when they took the field for the second half.

Aaron Glenn has no good answers after New York Jets quit vs. Chiefs

After the game, a visibly defeated Glenn spoke with reporters and was peppered with questions about his 22nd loss as head coach of the Jets. He was asked how he could keep his guys believing despite their 2-7 start, and he responded with about the most generic coach-speak answer you can give.

"It's all about our process, to be honest with you. It gets tough, I know it does, but it's the belief. We've shown spurts that we can play at a high level. And a lot of times I just go back to that and just show that. And believing that we can continue to do that, just like in the first half."

Newsflash, Glenn. The process isn't working. Whatever you're preaching isn't getting through to your players. Instead of believing they had a chance to win, Geno Smith and Armand Membou were throwing helmets and tablets around while the Chiefs continued to run up the score.

No one cares if you can play at a high level in spurts if it means you can't win. Heck, no one is even expecting wins at this point; they just want competent football, and even that is harder to come by as the weeks roll on.

It's never been more over for this staff than it is right now, and if you can believe it, it's about to get even uglier when the Buffalo Bills, one of the best teams in football, come to town in Week 10.
