The Aaron Rodgers era in New York has been disastrous so far. In his debut season with the New York Jets, Rodgers suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles during the first game. Despite playing in every game this year, the Jets struggled, finishing the season with a disappointing 5-12 record and failing to make the playoffs, while Rodgers had one of the most challenging seasons of his career.
Mid-season, head coach Robert Saleh was dismissed and replaced by interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. After an extensive search for a new head coach, the Jets allegedly found their man, according to a prominent NFL insider.
“He’s home: The (Jets) have a deal for Aaron Glenn to be their new head coach, sources say, as the former NYJ first-rounder lands with his old team. A move now celebrated by countless Jets legends, the (Lions) DC was the team’s top choice. He’s thanked the (Saints) and accepted NYJ,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Twitter.

Fans took to social media to express their reactions to the hire. One wrote, “I wonder if A.Rodgers makes him the fall guy for this upcoming season,” while another commented, “Defensive-minded head coach is what got them into this mess in the first place.” Yet another fan remarked, “Let’s see: The Jets hire a prominent defensive coordinator from a Super Bowl contending team. They just hired Robert Saleh again.” One individual questioned, “Fire a defensive coordinator who excelled, just to hire another one who was less successful?” It remains to be seen if Glenn will indeed be the right fit for the role.
