Aaron Glenn Named Head Coach of New York Jets

The Jets hire former Lions defensive coordinator and ex-player Aaron Glenn to lead the team, with challenges ahead including a GM search and quarterback uncertainty.

Aaron Glenn, former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator and ex-Jets player, has been hired as the new head coach of the New York Jets on a five-year contract.
The Jets are still searching for a general manager, with candidates Trey Brown and Darren Mougey receiving second interviews, while Lance Newmark remains in consideration.
The team faces uncertainty regarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future, as the 41-year-old's performance and contract status remain key issues for the new leadership to address.
Glenn's hiring marks a return to the franchise where he began his NFL career, and he is the first Black head coach hired during this year's NFL cycle.
The Jets, with the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons, aim to rebuild under Glenn's leadership while addressing roster gaps and fostering a team-first culture.
