The New York Jets are entering the upcoming offseason with plans for a significant personnel overhaul following a disastrous season that extended their playoff drought to the longest among all major American sports teams. In an effort to change the franchise’s trajectory, owner Woody Johnson and the Jets’ management have appointed Aaron Glenn as the team’s 22nd head coach.
Aaron Glenn, the former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, takes over from Jeff Ulbrich. Ulbrich was appointed the head coach of the New York Jets after firing long-time coach Robert Saleh after the fifth week following a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Jets, who were 2-3 under Saleh, managed only three wins in the last thirteen weeks and finished third in the AFC East.
In his introductory press conference on Monday, Aaron Glenn channeled the fiery passion of the Lions’ HC Dan Campbell to instill some hope in the Gang Green fans.
Put your seatbelts on and get ready for the ride… we’re the freaking New York Jets, and we’re built for this s**t!
Aaron Glenn said
The new head coach and the Jets go a long way back – Aaron Glenn was selected 12th overall by the New York Jets in 1994. The cornerback played eight seasons for them before moving to Houston Texans in the 2002 expansion draft.
After retirement and branching into coaching, Glenn also made the Jets his first choice, joining them in the scouting department in 2012.
You can’t write a better story than my life right now and the position that I’m in right now.

Aaron Glenn wants the Jets to change their tune
Glenn has only one goal in mind as he takes on his first head coaching role – win the New York Jets their first title since 1969. Glenn has learned the ropes alongside Super Bowl-winning coach Sean Payton and one of the best offensive-minded coaches currently Dan Campbell.
Aaron Glenn is high-spirited, passionate, and determined to change the current tune of the Gang Green by any means necessary. He admitted that he wants to change the idea of the Jets in the current NFL fanbase. Despite having four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have not been considered as any threat and Glenn wants a transition.
We want to change the mentality of the fans. Get used to winning. That’s all I’ve been part of the last couple years, and I don’t want to do anything other than that. Win is all I know.
Aaron Glenn said
The Jets also have a new general manager, Darren Mougey, who is now the third-youngest GM in the NFL. During his introductory press conference, Mougey shared his vision of working alongside Aaron Glenn to restore the Jets to their former glory.
I could not be more excited to take on this responsibility with AG as we work to build a championship team that will make the Jets fans proud. And there is not a better leader for this team than AG.
Darren Mougey added
Mougey also shared an anecdote about Glenn, whom he hit it off when the latter appeared in an interview for a position at Denver Broncos. Mougey joined the Broncos as a scouting intern in 2012 and climbed up the ladder to assistant GM in 2022.
Mougey admitted that his vision and philosophy align with Glenn’s. He concluded with a positive note as he expressed his sheer excitement to see how their vision plays out.
