Aaron Glenn continues to take swipes at former Jets’ QB Aaron Rodgers<\/a> originally appeared on A to Z Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers hasn\u2019t been a Jet for a few months now and Aaron Glenn has only been a Jets head coach for a little longer than that, but the two can\u2019t seem to quit taking swipes at each other. Either directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

Recently, Aaron Rodgers went on a long \u201ctirade\u201d<\/a> to his friend, FOX NFL Analyst Mark Schlereth about his frustrations with the Jets running game last season. This was a few weeks after Rodgers spilled the beans<\/a> on his unceremonious departure from the Jets.<\/p>\n

Now Aaron Glenn has taken a shot at Rodgers under the veil of praising his new quarterback, Justin Fields. In an interview with Zack Rosenblatt with the Athletic<\/a>, Glenn championed Fields\u2019 ability not to crave the public eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not trying to be the celebrity quarterback, he\u2019s just trying to be himself,\u201d Glenn said, referencing an adage made famous by his mentor Bill Parcells. \u201cAnd whatever comes with that, it comes with it. So, he\u2019s not trying to impress anybody. He\u2019s going out there and he\u2019s busting his a\u2013 trying to be the best quarterback he can be for this team. Everybody sees that \u2014 and I like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point, the last thing I want my head coach doing is worrying about what the former QB has to say and how his personality affected him. It\u2019s clear to see now why Glenn wanted Rodgers gone. He views Rodgers like a celebrity quarterback and the last thing Glenn wants any of his players to be, is a celebrity. Or \u201cabove the team\u201d.<\/p>\n

I was all for the Jets hiring Glenn when it became clear they had no shot at Mike Vrabel, but I think his personality is a dangerous game to play in today\u2019s NFL. Glenn tries very hard to be as no nonsense and say things to his team through the media like his mentor, Bill Parcells. There\u2019s one problem with that. Glenn doesn\u2019t have the resume or the team that Parcells had.<\/p>\n

Glenn has his work cut out for him this year. I believe the defense got worse and the offense is going to be very one-dimensional. It seems as if the Jets\u2019 entire philosophy this year is going to rely on Glenn squeezing every last ounce of talent out of a frankly, mostly mediocre team. I hope he is up for the challenge. I\u2019m sick of watching and writing about a losing team.<\/p>\n

Glenn\u2019s personality can work in the NFL and it can be successful. But without that success, he is going to find himself quickly on the hot seat by the fans, the media and even the players.<\/p>\n
