New Chapter for Glenn: Jets Hire Lions' DC
New York, USAThu Jan 23 2025
Well, it looks like the New York Jets are getting a new coach! The name is Aaron Glenn, and he's been working as the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Glenn's leaving Detroit after four seasons, which is pretty quick after his previous assistant coach and another coach also got promoted elsewhere.
But why is this a big deal? For Glenn, it's like coming home. He was actually drafted by the Jets back in 1994 and played there for eight seasons. He's got some big shoes to fill because the Jets have been rebuilding.
You know what's interesting? He started his coaching career in Cleveland after retiring as a player. In Detroit, Glenn really helped shape their defense. It was tough at first, but over time, they turned into one of the best defensive teams in the league.
This guy, Glenn, is not just a great coach but also a mentor. His players really look up to him. Coach Dan Campbell from Detroit talked about how great Glenn is and even said he'd coach with him again if no one else wanted him. That's how much respect Glenn has earned!
But now, Detroit will have to find a new defensive coordinator. Losing Glenn is going to be tough because he's not just a coach; he’s a leader.
