NFL News: Jets bring aboard Aaron Glenn as head coach

The New York Jets on Wednesday hired former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach.

Glenn returns to the Jets, who selected him with the 12th overall pick of the 1994 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. The three-time Pro Bowl defensive back played the first eight of his 15 NFL seasons with New York and later worked as a scout for the franchise from 2012-13.

“This place is special for me,” Glenn said in a statement on Wednesday. “From the time I was drafted and practiced on Long Island, to the time I came back as a scout in New Jersey, this organization has always felt like home. I’m thankful to Mr. (Woody) Johnson for this opportunity. To our players, prepare to be coached with everything we have. That is our responsibility. I ask that we share the same vision and that’s working towards winning a championship. To our fans, simply put, expect a winning team that you will be proud of.”

Glenn, 52, had a second, in-person interview with the Jets on Monday. He conducted a virtual interview with the team on Jan. 9.

“I’m excited to welcome Aaron Glenn home as the head coach of the New York Jets,” Johnson said in the statement. “Aaron earned this opportunity through almost three decades of NFL experience — 10 with us as a player and a scout. He brings tremendous leadership skills and the vision this organization needs to be successful. I am thrilled to see him lead this team.”

Glenn’s season ended Saturday when the top-seeded Lions lost 45-31 to the visiting Washington Commanders in an NFC divisional playoff game.

He has been Detroit’s defensive coordinator since 2021 following stints as a defensive backs coach with the New Orleans Saints (2016-20) and Cleveland Browns (2014-15).

The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start this season and went 3-9 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.
