Jets finally after interviewing everyone but my grandma in an extensive search to find a head coach and GM moved yesterday with the hiring of former Jet Aaron Glenn as the 22nd NY Jets Head coach.
Just from a fan perspective it’s kinda cool seeing a former player in my lifetime that I watched growing up now the head coach and most fans liked Glenn as a player.
But it’s not just fan appreciation the reason why Glenn is in this position, he and Dan Campbell rescued the Lions back to relevancy and a shot at a superbowl this season.
Glenn was able to turn around their defense limiting points allowed each year he was there . The lions had one of the best defensive units even with mounting injuries which eventually became too much against Washington.
Imagine the Jets without Sauce , Reed and Michael Carter and still pushing in the playoffs we can’t even do that with a full roster! Glenn is a former player, first round pick, pro bowler and Scout and brings that insight and connections to the Jets.
Glenn will blitz a lot unlike our former regime, he blitzed almost more than any other team in the league (2nd), this will require the Jets to have a front and backers who can handle that. Something the Jets struggled to do in the interior, with Williams seeing double teams.
That means Man coverage will be top priority and one the Jets should be able to handle with their personnel and some tweaks. Glenn could bring some Lions players with him as well, Glenn ran man coverage almost 50 percent of the time. Sauce will earn his money in a mostly cover 1 showing but Reeds time is most likely done and Jets will need another starting corner.
Offensive coordinator will be a huge task and already hearing names like Klint Kubiak and John Morton who led the Jets to a 22 ppg avg in the McCown period for 12 games that produced two 1k receivers and outperformed expectations.
I love the hire but with this franchise there’s no more handouts, I want to see steps moving forward towards being a competitive team. This year slogan should be “ show me”. Join us tonight 8pm est as we talk about the hire and what to expect with this team, Good luck ✈️
