As the New York Jets search for a new offensive coordinator, it appears they could go the veteran route. Could an OC like Frank Reich help save Aaron Glenn's job? Calls share their thoughts.
A caller raises the alarm about the growing trend of coaches pulling out of interviews, and the guys connect it to what the Jets could be staring at next. If the roster stays thin, ownership stays noisy, and you are firing a coach after one year, who is actually lining up to take that job? The discussion hits the Browns and Cardinals as warnings, debates the real risk of moving on from Aaron Glenn too fast, and questions whether the “best and brightest” would even want the Jets. Then the segment shifts into a bigger conversation about hypocrisy and how fans react differently depending on the name, the talent level, and the stakes. It turns into a blunt talk about outrage, perspective, and why sports media can't just repeat the same point every minute of every show. Finally, the whole thing takes a left turn into weekend stories, including a Rascal Flatts concert, “Evan seats” as the perfect concert hack, and an Albany surprise with an International Wrestling Hall of Fame sighting, capped off with Royal Rumble predictions and a reminder that the wrestling savant era might be here.

The 4th and final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with Jets drama and classic WFAN chaos. Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic joins to break down the reported Jon Gruden phone call with the Jets, who made the call, Aaron Glenn's shaky footing, Woody Johnson's involvement, and the uncertain plan at offensive coordinator and quarterback. Plus, calls on the Rangers vs Islanders rivalry, Knicks history debates, Mets vs Yankees lineup arguments, WWE Royal Rumble predictions, and a hilarious edition of Idiots With Idioms to close out the show.
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic joins the show to address Jon Gruden publicly denying the Jets rumor and makes it crystal clear: he stands by his reporting that the New York Jets made a phone call to gauge interest, not that they offered him a job. Zack explains why Gruden might be playing semantics, why it may not benefit him to embarrass a team, and how stories like this get distorted once they hit the rumor mill. From there, the conversation turns to the Jets larger plan, or lack of one. Zack says the offensive coordinator search has been messy and shifting, but he still believes Frank Reich is the most likely landing spot because he would function as the “head coach of the offense,” allowing Aaron Glenn to focus on defense. They also dig into the quarterback problem, the thin list of realistic options, and why the Jets are stuck between short-term band-aids and a long-term rebuild. Finally, Zack tackles the biggest fear Jets fans have: Woody Johnson getting too involved as pressure mounts. He describes how quickly the internal plan seemed to change, why the coaching staff decisions scream disarray, and how the Jets are being mocked around the league in a way he has not seen during his time covering the team. The interview ends with the blunt question of whether this job is becoming toxic, and what happens next if the Jets stumble again.
Evan wakes up furious at the two people he works with, and it starts with a simple point: the New York Islanders swept the New York Rangers and Evan wants full credit, no asterisks. Shaun tries to wave it off with “the Rangers quit,” which turns into an all-out fight about what “counts,” rivalry pride, and whether Ranger fans are ducking the embarrassment after the Garden got loud for Islanders fans at Madison Square Garden and UBS Arena. Then Tiki Barber lights the fuse on a totally different argument: could Kirk Cousins actually make sense for the New York Jets, not just as a stopgap starter but as a future “player-coach” type who helps shape the offense? The crew debates the age factor, the directionless feel of the Jets, and whether this is a “bottom out” year or a “build something” year, with names flying everywhere from Atlanta Falcons money mechanics to Frank Reich, Aaron Glenn, Malik Willis, and J. J. McCarthy. Plus, the phones go crazy: Islanders fans demand Shaun “own it,” Rangers fans double down on the apathy defense, and the hour ends with more fuel added to the fire, including Matthew Schaefer “king of New York” talk, Chris Drury trust issues, and a surprise moment where James Dolan somehow enters the chat.
Hour 2 opens with Jon Gruden finally addressing the rumor mill on Tampa sports radio, flatly saying there was “never anything” from the New York Jets. Evan and Tiki Barber dig into what that actually means, parsing the difference between an “offer” versus contact through agents, friends, or back channels, and why the wording can be technically true while still avoiding the full story. They also push back hard on fans dismissing credible reporting, defending Diana Russini and Zack Rosenblatt and explaining how information can be real while still being shaped by the motivations of whoever leaked it. The conversation turns into a bigger question: who benefits from the Gruden chatter being out there, and could it make Aaron Glenn look better or worse depending on what gets pinned on him versus Woody Johnson? Then the show takes a left turn into comedy when a caller, Ozzie from Woodridge, “bullies” both Evan and Shaun about their hair on YouTube, leading to on-air style changes, hat reveals, and plenty of roasting. On the phones, the Malik Willis conversation heats up with callers pitching him as a real Jets swing, plus trade ideas and fear that he ends up elsewhere. The hour closes by pivoting to the NBA trade deadline drama: how a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo move could ripple into a New York Knicks decision on Karl-Anthony Towns, why Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors keep getting mentioned, and the ultimate high-risk debate: is Anthony Davis worth the gamble if you are chasing a title?
Evan reacts to Robert Saleh being introduced as the new head coach of the Tennessee Titans and plays the clip that is driving New York Jets fans crazy, Saleh joking that in New York, when he did not call plays, he felt like a “timeout and red flag guy” with the best seat in the house. Evan explains why it does not annoy him the way it annoys Jets fans, and instead turns it into a bigger point about how hard the jump is from coordinator to head coach when you are no longer fully plugged into the scheme every snap. From there, the conversation shifts into a blunt lesson about the risks of hiring first-time head coaches and why Woody Johnson keeps putting the Jets in the same cycle. The crew connects it back to the current direction under Aaron Glenn and why the rumored pursuit of veteran offensive leadership like Frank Reich makes sense if you want the “head coach of the offense” alongside a defensive-minded head coach. Then, right on cue, the segment flips into levity as Shaun launches Cinco de Loncho, a rapid-fire Top 5 of what to watch with no football this weekend, including the debut of NBC Sunday night hoops, the Grammys, and anything Craig has not already spoiled.

The Jets rumor mill hits a new level when reports surface that New York reached out to Jon Gruden, and the crew immediately connects the dots to a bigger, messier question: is this really Aaron Glenn's show, or is Woody Johnson still lurking with “suggestions” that can shake the whole building? Connor Hughes joins to explain what he's hearing from inside the organization, why the Jets' coaching plan has felt scattered, and how quickly a bad start could turn any “big name” hire into instant chaos. Along the way, the conversation digs into how toxic the Jets' reputation has become around the league, why the staff changes caught people off guard, and why the franchise feels like it's stuck in a never ending cycle of headlines, embarrassment, and “trust us” messaging. If Gruden turned them down once, does that make it even more likely the Jets come crawling back later, especially if the season goes sideways again? And if the Jets keep operating like this, what does that say about who's really steering the ship?
Hour 2 opens with the debut of “Tiki's Top 5,” as Tiki lays out his preferred Giants offensive coordinator candidates after Todd Monken comes off the board. Matt Nagy sits at the top of the conversation thanks to the Andy Reid connection and play-calling experience, with other names like Kliff Kingsbury, Dave Ragone, Davis Webb, and a young riser in Declan Doyle getting a look. The big theme: Giants fans are ready to trust John Harbaugh no matter what, but the OC choice matters for Jaxson Dart and the direction of the offense. Then the show pivots back to the Jets, who reportedly hire a new defensive coordinator (Brian Duker) after a virtual interview just hours earlier. The guys react to what it says about the organization, how it essentially makes Aaron Glenn the real defensive boss while also trying to survive as head coach, and why Jets fans are spiraling into full-on “Woody meddling” paranoia. From there it turns into a true sports buffet: Giannis trade buzz heats up with Knicks fans debating whether the best move is waiting for the offseason leverage, while the crew rips into the Hall of Fame process after Bill Belichick is not first ballot and Bill Polian claims he is not 100% sure who he voted for. Plus, a classic WFAN flashback featuring Steve Summers going at the lone writer who did not vote for Jacob deGrom, and a hilarious detour into Charlie Weis Jr, Jaxson Dart, and an accidental Mark Wahlberg conspiracy.
The Jets hit the reset button again, and the fallout is ugly. With Aaron Glenn firing coaches and still searching for an offensive coordinator, the conversation turns to the wildest report yet: the Jets allegedly offered Jon Gruden a staff role, and the guys think that only happens if Woody Johnson is the one making the call. That sparks the bigger question: is this the setup for Gruden to become the next Jets head coach once the season goes sideways? Hour 1 dives into why the Jets feel like a disaster in the making for 2026: no OC, no QB, and a staff that looks like a collection of “singles to center field” hires. The crew debates whether the franchise should just go full drastic now, or ride out Glenn, embrace the tank, chase the No. 1 pick, and then make the big swing later (Arch Manning dreams included). Plus, a heated caller debate on whether Gruden should ever be hired again, the reality of the Jets' league-wide reputation, cap space vs dead money, and a potential “path forward” that includes a real play-caller and a quarterback swing like Malik Willis or Teddy Bridgewater. Then it's a quick pivot to Knicks notes after a win, with Karl-Anthony Towns again sitting late, Clyde calling out the defense, and more questions about crunch-time lineups.
The Jets blow up their coaching staff, rumors swirl about Jon Gruden, and one uncomfortable conclusion starts to feel unavoidable. After reports that the Jets reached out to Gruden for an offensive role, the discussion turns into a full blown look at who actually made that call, why it almost certainly came from ownership, and what it says about Aaron Glenn's future. As the Jets drift toward another chaotic season with no coordinator, no quarterback, and no clear direction, the idea takes hold that this is all groundwork for what comes next. A brutal 2026, a desperate franchise, and a coach no one else seems willing to touch. The conversation breaks down why firing Glenn now makes no sense, why bringing Gruden in today could be worse than waiting, and why a year from now Jets fans may finally get exactly what they have been asking for.
With Todd Monken officially off the board, Tiki drops a fresh “Top 5” list of preferred Giants offensive coordinator candidates, ranging from familiar names like Matt Nagy and Kliff Kingsbury to intriguing newer options tied to successful coaching trees. The conversation hits what the Giants job actually offers, why play-calling matters, and why the safest endorsement might simply be “whoever John Harbaugh picks.” Then the show gets sideswiped by breaking Jets news that somehow feels even more Jets than usual: New York hires Brian Duker as defensive coordinator after a virtual interview just 21 hours earlier, with the clear implication that Aaron Glenn is essentially taking over the defense himself. The reaction is immediate, equal parts disbelief and dread, as callers torch Woody Johnson, question how any of this qualifies as a plan, and argue the only person who could survive this level of dysfunction is a full power “CEO coach” like Jon Gruden. The segment closes with the larger fear hovering over everything: the Jets' reputation is so bad that even elite quarterback prospects may steer clear, which turns “hope” into something darker, rooting for the No. 1 pick and praying the next coaching hire finally resets the franchise.
Evan lays out his blunt read on the Jets reaching out to Jon Gruden: it feels less like a coordinator search and more like a preview of what Woody Johnson might do when Aaron Glenn is gone. To separate paranoia from reality, the show brings in Jets reporter Connor Hughes to explain what he's hearing inside the building, how “hands off” Woody really is, and why a name like Gruden almost certainly touched ownership at some level. Connor details how the Jets' staff plan has shifted in real time, why candidates believed the defensive coordinator job was traditional before Aaron Glenn decided he wanted to call plays, and how the process spiraled from big-name interviews into a lesser-known hire with Glenn essentially running the defense. On offense, he explains the original plan to keep Tanner Engstrom in place with a veteran “head coach of the offense,” why firing him complicates things, and why Frank Reich is trending as the likely answer once the required interview process plays out. The bigger takeaway is the one Jets fans can't escape: the organization is getting mocked league-wide, the timeline to get a staff and quarterback plan in order is shrinking fast, and any Gruden connection is gasoline on a situation that already feels toxic. The segment then pivots to the Giants, where optimism is rising under John Harbaugh and the OC opening is suddenly one of the most attractive springboards in the league. Finally, the show reacts to fresh Browns drama involving Jim Schwartz, adding another dose of “what are they doing?” dysfunction to a day that already has plenty of it.

Evan explains why most Jets fans wanting Aaron Glenn fired sounds logical on the surface, but completely ignores reality. The big-name coaches fans dreamed about were never coming, and Cleveland's messy search proves just how toxic certain NFL jobs have become. The conversation dives into Glenn blowing up his own staff, why that signals both accountability and inexperience, and how the Jets are stuck without the relationships, quarterback, or organizational respect needed to attract top coaching talent. The segment closes with a sobering truth for Jets fans: the only real path forward might be painful losing, draft capital, and finally finding a quarterback who can build the bridge this franchise desperately lacks.
Hour 2 opens with a hard look at the Jets' coaching mess and why firing Aaron Glenn after one year was never going to bring in a top-tier replacement. Evan and Tiki explain how Cleveland's chaotic search reinforces the idea that some NFL jobs have become flat-out undesirable, and why Glenn blowing up his own staff feels both necessary and desperate. Then the conversation pivots to breaking NFL news as the Bills make a surprise move by promoting Joe Brady to head coach. The guys react to Buffalo passing on bigger names, what it means for Brian Daboll's future, and why internal hires sometimes signal fear of losing “the next guy” rather than true conviction. The hour wraps with Super Bowl talk, Tiki breaking down ball security and the Peanut Punch, and a chaotic Posting and Toasting segment that spirals into snow-football arguments, old WFAN tweets resurfacing, and a surprisingly heated debate over one question: is it acceptable for a Jets fan to wear a Sam Darnold jersey during Seahawks week?
