The New York Jets know who their next head coach is going to be. The Jets are hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their next

The New York Jets have found their man, and they've gone back to their roots in the process. No, not with Rex Ryan, who repeatedly advocated for a second chance as the club's leader, but with Aaron Glenn,

New York's newest head coach has a message for his new players and the organization he has finally returned to.

With Glenn going to New York, Johnson heading to Chicago and Mike Vrabel already in New England, four head coaching vacancies remain. The Saints, Jaguars, Raiders and Cowboys are still in the hunt. Johnson, who was Detroit’s offensive coordinator, picked the Bears on Monday, two days after the No. 1 seeded Lions lost to Washington.

Aaron Glenn began his NFL career with the New York Jets, and now he's returning home, on Wednesday agreeing to become the team's newest head coach following a four-year run as the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator.

Most organizations in the NFL choose to hire the general manager before the team's head coach with the belief that the top executive picks the players and the head coach puts the players in the best position to succeed. The Jets are doing something different, though, with the hire of Glenn before making a decision on their GM job.

The New York Jets have hired Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their head coach, according to NFL Network and ESPN. Glenn, 52, has been the Lions’ defensive coordinator since 2021. He was a cornerback in the NFL for 15 seasons, from 1994 to 2008, mostly with the Jets and the Houston Texans.

The Cowboys interviewed Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who played for the team and then served as Dak Prescott’s play-caller for four seasons. Dallas also interviewed former Jets coach Robert Saleh and former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier.

The New York Jets have landed on a familiar face as their new head coach. According to various reports, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has been tabbed. For some around New York, the 52-year-old is very familiar. He has strong ties to Gang Green in multiple ways.

Former Houston Texans cornerback Aaron Glenn is returning to where his NFL career began. Glenn, a native of Houston and former Texas A&M star defensive back, agreed in principle terms to become the 19th full-time head coach for the New York Jets history.
