Former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh has been named a finalist for the vacant head coach position with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Robert Saleh may not have to wait long for his next head-coaching chance. Saleh has emerged as a legitimate candidate for the Jaguars after being fired by the Jets last season, The Athletic reported. The website noted that while it may feel out of “left field” there is some “real buzz” surrounding Saleh’s chances in Jacksonville.
First-time head coach Aaron Glenn doesn’t fit the typical mold many NFL teams seek. The NFL is undoubtedly an offensive league, and the brightest minds on that side of the ball tend to get the nod. However,
Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden are also both under consideration for roles on Glenn’s staff, according to sources.
Why did the Jacksonville Jaguars wait so long to fire general manager Trent Baalke? That's a question many fans are asking in Jacksonville right now, wondering if it cost them a chance to land their desired head coach.
“I’m excited to welcome Aaron Glenn home as the head coach of the New York Jets,” owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. “Aaron earned this opportunity through almost three decades of NFL experience — 10 with us as a player and a scout.
Aaron Glenn has been named the next head coach of the New York Jets, but will Glenn succeed in his new role? Glenn certainly has what it takes to be a successfu
Now that Aaron Glenn has been hired as coach, the Jets have turned their full attention to finding a new general manager.
New York needed a strong-willed coach who won’t be shaken on the big stage. Throw in a successful run with the Lions and a connection to the pre–Woody Johnson Jets, and he checked all the boxes.
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.
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.
