The New York Jets clearly have been thinking about the head coach position for a while. New York cut ties with former head coach Robert Saleh early in October after just five games in 2024. The Jets had a 2-3 record at the time and turned to Jeff Ulbrich to replace him.

Aaron Glenn is in the house. The job he was most interested in is now his, and he's already taking a deep dive into the workload as Jets head coach in bringing his staff together and micro-evaluating the roster with new GM Darren Mougey.

New York interviewed over 30 combined candidates for their open general manager and head coach openings with a wide range of different people from different backgrounds. In the end, Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn were the two people who were the clear choice for both the 33rd Team and the Jets as a collective.
