Here's Bobby and Bill Moore on the fan. Bobby, how are you today, Spank?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:04)
Yeah, hi, Craig. Hi, back howl.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:07)
What's up?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
I'm listening.
Starless said, you know, he had a 314 record, you said, right? Forget that. This guy had a 357.1% with the chess. I mean, it's a comical that he's even talking. I mean, that's like the, he's like the worst coach in NF. He's actually worst in gays who had a 401%... He's not worse in gays, that's stupid, come on.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:27)
Listen, I hear what you're saying about winning percentage, but I get you.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:29)
I'm talking about record, record is what counts. And you know, and Glenn...

**Craig Carton** (0:36)
Here's the thing that gets me.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:37)
I think he's got a chance to be a good hit coach, I do.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
Robert Saleh was 20 and 36 There's nothing to be proud about with that. You're on a 357 winning percentage.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:45)
He's a player, he's just on the sideline. He did the one.

**Craig Carton** (0:49)
Hang on, okay? The fact that the New York Jets, both 2022 and 2023, won seven games, considering who their quarterbacks were, is a minor miracle.
And let's not forget this also. And I know I defend Robert and I'm friendly with him and that's full transparency on that. He also had a guy named Aaron Rogers as his quarterback in the second year of Aaron Rogers here, with the New York Jets, who had the bull on his hands, either tied or down less than a touchdown in six games. How many of those games did the Jets win? None of them.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
And not only that, the minute they fired them.

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
Correct.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:35)
And that too as well. The team completely tanked after they fired.

**Craig Carton** (1:38)
And remember, they were two and three when he got fired.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
Yep. Right?

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
The season wasn't over.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
No, it was a mistake. It was an overreaction from Woody Johnson. It was a complete mistake. And I don't care what the numbers are. I don't know if he gave just the Jets Adam Gase record or he's talking about his time in Miami as well. He did a far, far better job with the Jets than Gase did. Far better job. Yeah. And look, he had one year, right? It's only one year.
One year of being a defensive coordinator again with the 49ers and he's right back to being a head coach.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:09)
I'll do you one better. If you had a guess off the top of your head.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:11)
I think Robert Saleh has a chance to be a good head coach.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
Top of your head, take a guess.
What were the Jets defensive rankings while Robert Saleh was the head coach? Remember, he's a defensive coach.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:21)
No doubt.

**Craig Carton** (2:22)
He even admitted he became too much of a spectator when the offense was on the field, but his genius is putting together a badass defense. Did he or didn't he in New York?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:33)
He did.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
How about he did indeed?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:35)
Yeah, I think their top 10, they might even be top 5 for a couple of years.

**Craig Carton** (2:39)
Year one was the rebuilding year. I think we agree to throw that out. He inherited a mess. 2022, the New York Jets defense, fourth in total in scoring defense, second in defense per play.
2023, he was the third best defense in football and the first in defense per play. I don't know what that is. I've never heard that before, but I'm reading it.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
Yards per play, I guess.

**Craig Carton** (3:02)
2024, he only coached the five games, six in defense and fifth in points. The guy came and proved that he is brilliant at putting together badass defense.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:16)
If he does that, and now that he's got, and I still think he's a good defensive mind, even though I can't argue with you about Harbaugh versus him, but Dable's a good offensive mind, and I think Cam Ward has a chance to really have a big time season and be a good NFL quarterback.
They gave him a stud-wide receiver. If he, and you mentioned his failing was not focused enough on offense, if he's just the head coach who focuses on defense, let's Brian Dable run the offense and does the same thing he did with the Tennessee Titans defense that he did with the Jets defense, Titans are going to be a good football team.
