Most of us knew that Aaron Glenn's first season as the head coach of the New York Jets was going to have more lows than highs, and starting 0-2 isn't exactly a surprise.
But still, it isn't a good spot to be, especially when you are trying to build what you hope will be a solid foundation that the franchise's next Super Bowl win will be based on. For most, this was always going to be a tough year, and we saw in Week 1 the positive elements of Glenn's team, but against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, we saw the bad elements.
Is it time to jump ship? Absolutely not.
And for Glenn, he knows that he has the people inside the building and in the locker room to keep this train on the tracks.
“We come back, get aligned on what we're trying to do as a football team, and understanding this is a brick-by-brick mentality for us,” Glenn said. “We're going to continue to work. We're going to continue to build and do everything we can to make sure that we stay aligned on what we're trying to do as far as this football team.
"I'm disappointed, but I don't want to sit here and say that I'm discouraged. I hate the way that we played, but I know what type of players and coaching staff we have, and we're going to do everything we can to try to fix these problems and move forward.”

Patience is key in Jets rebuild
No, this won't be a Washington Commanders-type resurgence from the Jets. This will take time.
Unfortunately, in the NFL, people's patience is thin, and they want results quickly, but let me tell you, if you think this will be a quick turnaround, you're going to be disappointed.
Yes, there will be some good moments, and there will be some bad ones, but that is all part of the process that Glenn and his coaching staff are going through this year. All we want is to see some sign of improvement throughout the year. The Jets in Week 17, ideally, should be a better version of themselves than what they are now.
But success won't be linear here.
Remember, brick by brick, Glenn will get his vision to come to life.
Patience is key, my friends.
