Aaron Glenn began his NFL playing career with the New York Jets.
Glenn played for the Jets from 1994 through 2001 before becoming a career NFL assistant.
Glenn gained immense credibility as the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator from 2021 through 2024.
Glenn is in his first season as head coach of the Jets and has found the going tough without a credible quarterback.
Glenn’s first head coaching job might end up being his last, through no fault of his own.
On Thursday night, the Jets host the New England Patriots, who also have a former player as the head coach.
Head coach Mike Vrabel has his old team rolling and in the hunt for the AFC East title.
