Ex-Jets Head Coach Fed Up With Aaron Rodgers: “Let Him Be a Coach Then”

A former New York Jets coach has had enough of Aaron Rodgers-and he’s not afraid to say it.

In a recent interview that’s catching fire among NFL insiders, ex-Jets coach Jets Eric Mangini  expressed frustration over what he perceives as Rodgers overstepping his role as quarterback. Now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers has continued his vocal presence both on and off the field, drawing criticism from voices who say he’s acting more like a coordinator than a player.

“If Aaron Rodgers wants to run everything, let him be the head coach,” the former Jets coach reportedly said. “He’s not just calling plays—he’s trying to call the shots.”

This sentiment isn’t new for those who followed Rodgers’ turbulent 2023 season with the Jets. His influence over team decisions, personnel, and even offensive schemes was often questioned. Now, as he transitions to a Steelers roster full of new talent and high expectations, that same leadership style is drawing similar scrutiny.

Critics say Rodgers’ outsize presence may overshadow Mike Tomlin’s authority or disrupt the balance in Pittsburgh’s locker room. Some even wonder if this will create tension among younger QBs like Will Howard or veterans like Mason Rudolph, both of whom are still fighting for relevance under Rodgers’ looming shadow.

Despite the criticism, Rodgers hasn’t backed down. Known for his confidence and control, he’s embraced the challenge of being both a leader and mentor. In Pittsburgh, he’s often seen speaking directly with coordinators, mentoring younger teammates, and setting the tone in minicamp walkthroughs.

Steelers fans are divided. Some welcome Rodgers’ assertiveness as a sign of passion and intelligence. Others share the ex-coach’s view, worrying it could become a distraction or a power struggle—especially if the season doesn’t start off strong.

Regardless, the heat surrounding Rodgers’ presence in Pittsburgh only adds to the drama of the upcoming season. Whether he’s acting like a coach or just being Aaron Rodgers, one thing is clear: people are watching, and emotions are running high.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
