New York Jets Near Hiring of Aaron Glenn as Head Coach

The New York Jets are actively pursuing a new head coach after parting ways with Robert Saleh mid-season due to poor performance. Among the leading candidates is Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, who is reportedly very interested in the Jets position. The Jets are set to have a second in-person meeting with Glenn this week, and he has drawn interest from other teams as well. If Glenn is unavailable, the Jets have identified Pittsburgh Steelers OC Arthur Smith and former Bears head coach Matt Nagy as potential backup options. Additionally, there is some support within the organization for Brian Flores, the Vikings defensive coordinator, who has been endorsed by former players despite mixed reviews about his coaching style. With a talent-rich roster but a history of inconsistency, the Jets are hopeful that the right hire can finally lead them back to competitiveness in the NFL.
