Jets Coach Glenn's Hot Seat: One Year Later
12 Feb
Summary
- Jets' 2025 season was worst for a first-year coach, ending 3-14.
- Defense collapsed, allowing 25th most yards, no interceptions.
- Owner stuck with Glenn despite team's historic five-game losing streak.
Aaron Glenn's first season as head coach of the New York Jets was a historic failure, culminating in a 3-14 record and a 15th consecutive playoff miss. The team's defense, once a strength, collapsed under Glenn's leadership, plummeting to 25th in total yards allowed. The Jets became the only NFL team in history to complete an entire season without a single interception. Finishing the season with a five-game losing streak, each by 23 or more points, added to the team's woes. Despite this dismal performance, Jets owner Woody Johnson opted to retain Glenn for the 2026 season, a decision that has placed Glenn squarely on the NFL coaching hot seat. Johnson's patience, while surprising, followed a tumultuous 2024 season marked by organizational dysfunction, including the failed Aaron Rodgers experiment and the firing of Robert Saleh. Given the chaotic circumstances surrounding Glenn's hiring, firing him after just one season would have been difficult. However, the pressure is immense for Glenn to demonstrate significant improvement and lead the Jets in the right direction in 2026.
