Could Aaron Glenn Be The Frontrunner For The New York Jets Head Coaching Job?

1. Rick Spielman not Chris*

2. Or Brian Flores

3. The ny jets need a proven head football coach to win in this league.

4. If this team had recent success I wouldn't mind, but unfortunately this team desperately needs to turn this thing around and chances are a more established head coach more likely to get it done. I wouldn't be opposed to perhaps hiring a short time hire such as a Pete Carroll who can coach for a season or 2 and Aaron Glenn can be the assistant head coach/successor to the job long term.

5. No first time head Coaches!!

6. Not a bad choice

7. Why would you hire a first time head Coach over Mike Vrabel ??

8. Don't want a first time head coach… and by the way, the Lions defense is no juggernaut. They are ranked 10th in yards allowed, the Jets are 4th!

9. I don’t agree with you bro

10. Fan since 73 …love Glenn but need experience HC

11. If he can bring in a culture of toughness and accountability, I’m all for it.

12. I loved him when he played for the Jets and was really disappointed when he went to the Texans. I think he would be a good hire for the Jets.

13. Unless you can get an established person for the head coaching job, Aaron Glenn then would be my choice for the job.

14. This is just for the Rooney Rule.

15. Rex + Bowles + Saleh = Glenn. They are all exactly the same, which adds up to a repeated cycle of failure.

16. Brother not a good fit, we need a proven head coach.

17. You know what’s crazy.. I looked over at the offensive staff for Detroit and there’s two names there that I like. Mark Brunnel and Tanner Engstrand (interviewed for OC jobs previously) could he possibly poach one or both to develop a young QB?

18. He was a first round pick and was really a good player. I would be fine with him. He comes with a better pedigree then a lot of former players. Vrabel to me is the guy to change the losing culture.

19. Ball hawking player. Pure energy player. Great pick.

20. The defense needs leadership no doubt. But what about the offense? The elephant is still in the room.

21. Need to hire a GM before a Head coach. The GM picks the head coach.

22. The Jets would destroy Aaron Glenn's coaching career and crush his legacy as a Jet

23. All for it. Integrity

24. I'd love Glenn

25. Is he a successful head coach? No? Has he ever been a head coach? No? Perfect for the jets. This would be the jets Doing jets things making jets choices, this sounds about right. Then we can get a offensive coordinator who has never been a offensive coordinator and it will be a slam dunk. Are we serious right now?

26. Aaron Glenn would be a cool story. Bringing Dennis Allen with him means he could focus more on being a Head Coach/Leader. But on offense, if he doesn’t choose experience, I could see him going with a younger guy in a trendy offensive scheme. NY could live with a run first offense if they were winning, but they deserve a dangerous pass game that defenses respect.

27. NO. Worst part of Lions is the defense.

28. Despite a couple of shortcomings, right now Vrabel would be my 1st choice. If the Jets miss out on MV &/or instead opt for a first timer, I'd be on board with Glenn. Don't want previous/current HCs Rex or McCarthy (if Jerry fires him).

29. No.. offensive minded coach. The team needs to do things totally the opposite from what they are used to. That’s how you break that curse. If you want a defensive minded coach, vrabel makes the most sense. Outside of him, offensive minded coach who can develop qb’s

30. I like Aaron but i don't want another 1st time head coach weve just been down this road for the last decade.

31. You're still sick man!?!? Dam bro beat that bug.
    I'd love Glenn…I'm not kissing anyone's ass to be our HC.
    For me, either
    you love the Jets like Rex or f- off !!

32. Ofc I don’t want to see Glenn go to another team and come to find out he was the guy. But really another dc w no head coach experience…

33. Revis, Hasty and Gleen were the best CB's the Jets ever had! We had many but my favorite to watch by far was Aaron Gleen!!!

34. So you don’t know what it’s like to be one of the best? . Well yes you do but nothing like my team growing up. We had the coaches back then. Richard Todd/ Obie/ sack exchange/ we were respected and feared! Maybe one day you will understand. But I’m afraid you will become an old man like me and never see or feel what it is like. We are making the same mistake over and over. No first time coaches!! You can talk until you’re blue in the face bro. If we could not win with what we had the last three years we ain’t winning nothing. Not until they sell the team. I was just like you.

35. Buddy he played 8 years with the jets and he was awesome .. you kinda crapped on his jets career .
