Reports: Jets tab Aaron Glenn as next head coach
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn watches a play against Indianapolis Colts during the second half at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024. The New York Jets are hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Glenn will be making a return 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.
Glenn, 52, had a second, in-person interview with the Jets on Monday. He conducted a virtual interview with the team regarding its head coaching vacancy on Jan. 9.
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 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.
