New York Jets Insider Forced To Issue Apology After Brutal Comments About Coach

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

A New York Jets insider was forced to publicly apologize after he made brutal comments about one of the team’s coaches. The Jets are 2-7 after nine weeks, and Aaron Glenn’s future is becoming a bigger topic by the week, even though the team’s front office decided to wait until after the season to make a decision about him.

Meanwhile, Connor Hughes went after a different coach. During an appearance on the Jets Final Drive podcast, he took aim at defensive coordinator Brian Duker.

“He’s not particularly well liked within the building,” Hughes said. “I’ve heard negative things about him from people who have talked to Jets staffers… He doesn’t really do anything. He was brought on to basically be Glenn’s assistant while Glenn calls the plays.”

New York Jets Insider Takes Full Responsibility for Inappropriate Remarks

The comments went viral on social media. On Wednesday, Hughes took to X to issue an apology to the coach.

“I want to apologize for the comments I made yesterday,” he wrote. “It was inappropriate for me to speak about Brian Duker’s standing within the Jets organization. It had nothing to do with football, and it was not something I should have commented on. I recognize that, and I take responsibility for it. Again, my apologies.”

Duker joined the team ahead of the season. Glenn continues to call defensive plays, but it is Duker who gets the criticism now. They will clash against the Buffalo Bills this week, hoping to win their third game of the season.
