Oh, look, the New York Jets got dunked on again<\/a> by a former employee.<\/p>\n

It must be a Monday. <\/p>\n

Jokes aside, the former passing game coordinator\u2019s two-word message about how much he hates the Jets following his dismissal shouldn\u2019t be much of a surprise to anyone. While New York\u2019s passing offense was among the worst in football, the struggles had more to do with personnel than anything Turner (or offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand) could do. <\/p>\n

Therein lies the Jets\u2019 issue. For the last 15 years, they have been the victim of former players and coaches taking shots at them for their lack of competency as an NFL organization. <\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one reason for that, though, it all comes back to the farce of their push to create a good culture in the building. <\/p>\n

\u2018Culture\u2019 in all the wrong places<\/p>\n

Culture in the NFL is a myth; it always has been.<\/p>\n

The Jets are chasing a myth, as ridiculous as they are chasing the likes of a flying pig or a pegasus in Greek mythology. It never existed. <\/p>\n

As much as fans want to believe the only thing the organization needs changing is its culture, that highlights their own belief in something that doesn\u2019t actually affect the win-loss column.<\/p>\n

Winning creates a good culture. Losing creates a bad one. If the Jets want to actually change their culture, they need people who can deliver early victories through scheme and adjustments. <\/p>\n

Not through \u201cculture.\u201d<\/p>\n

In many ways, that is the true failing of Aaron Glenn<\/a> in his first season as Jets head coach. He believed the changing of the organization\u2019s culture would turn the tide for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Instead, the organization\u2019s week-to-week strategy was so bad that the three-win Jets<\/a> looked worse than they ever had in franchise history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Turner\u2019s comments are not unlike any other failing team in the NFL. Anonymous sources reign supreme in organizations that struggle year-round. When an organization is winning, those same comments can\u2019t be found. <\/p>\n

If Jets fans want to truly see a culture-changer in their coaching staff, they need someone who can coach to the modern demands of the NFL game. A coach who preaches culture without schematics will have neither and be out of a job before long. <\/p>\n

While Scott Turner\u2019s comments are hardly surprising, they should be taken as yet another warning shot in Aaron Glenn\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n

His search for a pegasus (culture) isn\u2019t working. It\u2019s time to adapt. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oh, look, the New York Jets got dunked on again by a former employee.
