It's with the Lions as the defensive play-caller that Glenn showed his aptitude to become a top coach who can lead a collection of men to greatness. Plenty of sources around the league have commended the Jets for the hire of Glenn, feeling his experience as a player and coach will be well suited for New York.

Aaron Glenn began his NFL career with the New York Jets, and now he's returning home, on Wednesday agreeing to become the team's newest head coach following a four-year run as the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn was recently likened to a legendary NFL head coach who spent time at the helm of Gang Green.

It was widely assumed that Glenn and Washington Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark were a package deal. After all, they worked together for three years with the Detroit Lions, and both were present Tuesday at the team facility for second interviews. Newmark was the first GM candidate to get a second (in-person) interview.

Long before Aaron Glenn became a hot head-coaching candidate due to his work as the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, he played cornerback under Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells with the New York Jets from 1997 to 1999.

Aaron Glenn was hired to be their 19th full-time head coach on Wednesday. Glenn, who was the Jets’ first-round draft choice in 1994 and played eight seasons for the team, spent the past four years as the Lions defensive coordinator.

Glenn comes back to New York after a strong playing career as a former first-round pick in 1994. He is entering the top job as a first time head coach but has been with the team as a scout, and has had other stops around the league as an assistant under Sean Payton and Dan Campbell.
