It\u2019s finally done.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 New York Jets concluded one of the worst seasons in franchise history with a 35-8 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, finishing with a 3-14 record.<\/p>\n<p>At the forefront of the struggles has been head coach Aaron Glenn. Hired to change the culture of a struggling organization, Glenn has brought just more of the same.<\/p>\n<p>The only difference? A <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/12\/30\/aaron-glenn-jets-backtracker-faces\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">misused sense of overconfidence<\/a> that turned the 2025 season into a laughingstock.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn, though, is not hiding from his struggles. After the team\u2019s season finale in western New York, he took complete ownership of what was a lost year from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn takes responsibility for Jets\u2019 struggles <\/p>\n<p>Unlike the start of his tenure with Gang Green, Glenn was more reserved than normal following Sunday\u2019s loss. Instead of the bravado he has been known for despite the struggles, he made it clear that the season falls on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI let the players down. I let the organization down. That burns me,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cIt really does. This was not expected of where we are this season. I understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite that ownership, Glenn remained positive about the organization\u2019s future outlook. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the reason why I came here.\u201d Glenn said. \u201cI am very confident in myself, in this organization, in our owner, in Moug (Darren Mougey), and we\u2019re going to work our ass off to get this [expletive] exactly where it needs to be. I do know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue Glenn and the Jets are facing, though, has been the same thing that has been hurting the Jets for quite some time: an <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/12\/31\/new-york-jets-confusion-big-ships-turn-quickly\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">inability to adapt to the modern game<\/a>. It hurts New York\u2019s chances of showing any type of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Does that mean Glenn has realized that he must adjust his thinking? Not quite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not going to waver on my beliefs of what I think wins games in this league,\u201d Glenn said.<\/p>\n<p>Fundamentally, the Jets require a comprehensive overhaul of their organizational structure. They will have <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2026\/01\/05\/jets-pick-2026-nfl-draft-where-stand-lucky-finale\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">plenty of resources<\/a> to work with this offseason, but if they aren\u2019t willing to change their ways after a three-win season, it\u2019ll be hard to see them getting where they need to be.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, though, a head coach willing to take accountability for a lost season is the first step to carrying favor with ownership and the roster. His players understand that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely been the worst season I\u2019ve been a part of as a team, and [the] key word [is] \u2018a part,&#8217;\u201d Jermaine Johnson said after the game. \u201cI\u2019ve got my hands in it, my hands are bloody, everybody\u2019s hands are bloody in this. So for him to say it\u2019s on him, I don\u2019t fully agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the numbers are what they are. Even if players believe that their coaching staff isn\u2019t the only problem, Glenn has a lot to improve on. Whether it works for 2026 or not is the only question left to answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s over. It\u2019s finally done.
