What already has Boomer Esiason worried about Jets’ potential Aaron Glenn hire
NY Post
Boomer Esiason sees the Jets doing the same thing and expecting different results.
With Gang Green trending toward hiring the tandem of Aaron Glenn and Lance Newmark for their head coach and general manager openings, respectively, the former Jets quarterback doesn’t like the idea of another first-year head coach getting a shot in the Big Apple.
“I don’t necessarily know that the Jets, because we’ve seen it, it’s not the best place for an inexperienced head coach,” Esiason said on his “Boomer and Gio” WFAN radio show.
Co-host Gregg Giannotti agreed that after firing Robert Saleh early in the season to just turn around and hire another young defensive coach could be their undoing.
Saleh was hired after having no head coaching experience, although he sparkled during his time as the defensive coordinator for the 49ers.
“For [owner Woody Johnson] to just now repeat the same pattern and go find a coordinator who is a first-time head coach and do this all over again. Defensive, by the way,” Giannotti added
The Rangers hit the mark with their on-ice ceremony honoring Mika Zibanejad ahead of his 1,000th NHL game Monday night.
PORT ST. LUCIE — For now, Craig Kimbrel is choosing Mets purgatory.

Zion Williamson is slimmer and healthier for his trip to MSG.
Don’t blame Mikal Bridges for his paltry stats. Blame the role.
Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
