Which past Jets coach candidates could be in play to replace Aaron Glenn
The New York Jets could be preparing to replace head coach Aaron Glenn after a 2-6 start, and the article revisits the candidates they considered the last time they hired a coach. Glenn was chosen after a broad search, so former interviewees may offer potential options if owner Woody Johnson decides to make a change.
Two years earlier, the Jets fired Robert Saleh five games into the 2024 season and brought in a consultancy led by former general manager Mike Tannenbaum and former adviser Rick Spielman to assist with hiring a coach and general manager. They interviewed 15 people for the head coach role before selecting Glenn. The article focuses on the other 14 candidates and whether they could be considered again.
In short
- The Jets are 2-6 under Aaron Glenn.
- The article reviews 14 previous interviewees.
- Woody Johnson may consider another coaching change.
Explained simply
The New York Jets are an American football team in the NFL, where the head coach oversees the team’s training, tactics and results. Aaron Glenn took the job after the Jets dismissed Robert Saleh early in the 2024 season.
The hiring search was assisted by a consultancy led by former general manager Mike Tannenbaum and former adviser Rick Spielman. The Jets interviewed 15 candidates before choosing Glenn, leaving 14 others whose names may be relevant if owner Woody Johnson considers another change.
A coaching change can reshape a team’s leadership and plans, while the candidates available depend on who is interested and able to take the job. The earlier interviews provide a record of people the Jets considered, but do not establish that any of them will be approached again.
