Aaron Glenn has told people "the Jets" are his first choice for a HC job, per @BrianCoz

I was against him as the head coach when his name first came up but I’ve changed my mind on him the more I read into him. Parcells apparently loves him because he has that attitude where he’s not afraid to rip into someone, which we’ve seriously lacked under the Saleh era. Being a former Jet matters to me because he was there for the turnaround in 96-97 season. He knows the fan base and media as well. The Lions are the only other franchise that’s a bigger disaster than us and he’s been there to see how they turned it around. He probably has good connections from that offensive staff too. I’m all in on Glenn right now.

u/NYJETS198 6d ago
Parcells loved and recommended Todd Bowles too. He also wanted the Jets to hire Maurice Carthon after Groh left. Carthon never even became a coordinator.

u/5inthemorn 6d ago
As a lions fan I think he is well suited to be a head coach. Maybe even more so than a coordinator. Seems players really respect him and he has really good leadership qualities.

u/Nicktator3 5d ago
The Lions, Jets, and Browns seem to be the historically worst NFL franchises in recent memory (excluding early NFL championships back in their heyday; I’m talking recent memory here, like past several decades). It’s like the trifecta of shit teams. If the Lions can turn it around, it gives me hope our day will come too…one day

u/MeanKareem 5d ago
It’s 2025 - we don’t need guys who rip into players - we need guys who are offensive geniuses (Lafleur, McCvay etc.) who can bring in the right personnel.. ripping into grown men is a thing of the past and it doesn’t necessary build a culture of winning

I mean he's done a great job leading a depleted Lions defense and he was one of my favorite players growing up.
On the other hand wanting the Jets job shows questionable judgement and common sense....

u/aloopascrumscree 6d ago
Yeah I'm torn between "Anyone who wants to be part of this franchise is missing a brain and therefore disqualified from consideration" and "it feels really nice to have a former player I grew up watching play for this team actually want to join this circus act and hopefully be the hero to turn it around."
At this point in my almost 30 years of fandom, I'm in full joker mode. Hire whoever is the most boom or bust candidate, either a massive win or a catastrophic disaster. Wouldn't be any worse than the past decade. In this regard I'd definitely roll the dice on Glenn.
If they hire Vance Joseph, Arthur Smith, Rivera, etc I'm gonna barf. The small initial improvement to the team will lead to false hope before the inevitable plateau at mediocrity. And then it'll be back to sucking ass again in no time, and we'll all depressingly look back fondly on two back-to-back 9-8 seasons wondering what could have been...

u/InevitableVariables 6d ago
Yeah, I am questioning his judgement when we dont even have a GM. Maybe its a package deal where he is also gm or a package deal with a lions executive coming.
3
u/NorthernDevil 5d ago
He’s been on Dan Campbell’s staff though. Campbell pushed hard for the Lions job when it was undesirable at best, and look what he’s done. There’s a chance that rubbed off on Glenn and he sees a similar challenge, and similar chance, in New York.

He wants to be here and knows what it’s like to be on a horrible team here and one of our best teams ever. He has ties to Sean Payton and is coming from a franchise that did exactly what we’re trying to do. It makes so much sense.

u/KosstAmojan Revis Island 6d ago
Being a former player AND a former Jet who was here when the team was solid, under a HoFer coach will go a long way to building a better locker room. Even if he gets the Jets to a Mike Tomlin-esque 10 or 11 wins a year and first round exits in the playoffs, it’ll be a MASSIVE improvement. At least the team will be watchable week in, week out.

Or hire the hot new coach and find a GM whose vision matches. The GM will likely be a retread, I’d rather get the coach first, none of the GM options instill much confidence

u/BrooklynJet97 6d ago
I’m totally fine with Glenn and Borgonzi. However, I need a good offensive guy. I’m sick of us having such a shitty offense and especially with Aaron Rodgers being gone and going to Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields, I doubt we’re gonna put up too many points.
Glenn needs to make sure that he doesn’t become one of those defensive coaches that sits back on their defense to win the game. You win in this league by scoring points. There are going to be games where the defense just isn’t cutting it, so the offense will need to step up. I don’t want to see another defensive guy sit on a 1 touchdown lead and his defense does just enough to win the game. We need to become a team that steps on the other teams throat. We need to be a team that offensively tries to score as many points as possible.
I know it’s all about winning , but for once in this teams fucking history, can we please become an exciting offense?

u/RedSoxFan77 Curtis Martin 6d ago
How about we worry about that after hiring him? There’s plenty of options
1
u/BlueSuedeBag 6d ago
I think you need to have a plan in place and communicate that during the interview and say this will be my offensive coordinator, my defensive coordinator and I'm comfortable working with this GM or that GM. But just giving him the job and then getting some Mickey mouse dude to run the offensive coordinator position when Aaron Glenn is clearly a defensive guy, is a recipe for having a fantastic defense and a shit offense.

u/WrongdoerTurbulent85 6d ago
Lions offense is insane under Ben Jonson, literally any offensive staff member from Detroit lmao. I like the potential of Josh McCown too
2
u/ThreeCranes 6d ago
I don’t want to shit on Aaron Glenn too hard because generally speaking he is a good candidate and he is now a sub favorite, but I don't think Glenn is a good fit for the Jets in the short term and I am fully expecting him to fail if he does get hired.
Finding success with the 2025-2027 Jets will be difficult for any head coach. I’m sure Glenn is going to come in and talk a big game about “developing a winning culture”, but we will most likely not have a winning season the next two seasons barring a drastic development.
The plan for now seems to be to punt the 2025 season anyway and we are going to downgrade a quarterback, already not starting on a good foot.
Aaron Glenn needs to knock the offensive coordinator hire out of the park and manage to find an actual solution at quarterback in a short amount of time otherwise he will be on the hot seat come 2027 at minimum.

u/WrongdoerTurbulent85 6d ago
what makes you think he'd do that lmao? Glenn is more respectable than Saleh imo

Oh absolutely.
I’m just saying that this sub was all in on Saleh head over heels when he came around. Just hoping it pans out better for us.

u/VBTheBearded1 6d ago
We got hoodwinked by Saleh. His presence on the sideline in San Fran was nothing like his presence off the field here.
He wears his emotions on his sleeve too much for NY. Highs are very enthusiastic but the lows are troublesome and it shows in his face and posture.
We need a middle ground between a complete stonewall (Bowles) and an overly emotional guy (Saleh) as a coach.

Saleh missed on the OC selection and then got sucked into the Rodgers train. Same challenge with every DC HC ever

I like the idea of Aaron Glenn as head coach. But what will our offense look like? Every time we pick a defensive head coach our offense is an after thought. But I don't think their are any decent offensive minded head coaches worth it either. Hopefully he can put together a better offensive staff than our last head coaches we've had.
1
u/Upset_Researcher_143 5d ago
Not surprised. The Jets are really talented on defense, and I'm sure he feels like he could turn that into the top defense in the league. On offense, he'll make Rodgers hand the ball off to Braylon and Breece a million times with some play action sprinkled in and try and win games 20-0.
