New York hired Glenn, most recently the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, as their next head coach, ahead of his scheduled in-person interview with New Orleans. It’s a five-year deal, according to league sources.

After interviewing 16 different people for the team’s head coaching vacancy, the New York Jets have made their hire.

Aaron Glenn is back where his NFL journey began nearly 31 years ago. He was a game-changing cornerback for the New York Jets then. Now he's tasked with helping turn around the fortunes of the franchise.
