Aaron Glenn Stands By Viral Sideline Dance After Jets’ 0-3 Start

He says the celebration reflects his commitment to showing players he believes in them.

Overview

  • Glenn told reporters he is "always going to be me" and "never going to be fake," pushing back on notions of how a head coach should act.
  • The moment followed Will McDonald IV blocking Chase McLaughlin’s field-goal attempt and returning it 50 yards for a touchdown to give New York a late lead.
  • Tampa Bay won 29-27 on McLaughlin’s last-second field goal, dropping the Jets to 0-3 in Glenn’s first season.
  • ESPN’s Jenna Laine synced Glenn’s strut to Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September,” and her post had about 2.6 million views by early Thursday, spawning more mashups.
  • Coverage frames Glenn’s animated approach as part of a culture reset for a franchise with a 14-year playoff drought, and the Jets next face the 0-3 Dolphins on Monday night.
