We still got a long way to go in the Head Coach and GM search for the New York Jets, but it is starting to feel more and more likely that the Jets could wind up with either Detroit Lions Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn or Minnesota Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores as head coach.
It has been speculated for days that this could be the case.
Rich Cimini of ESPN speculated over the weekend that Flores could be a packaged deal with controversial former Colts GM Ryan Grigson, but then backed off that claim on a podcast with Will Parkinson on Monday.
Still Flores is going to be a name to watch. His Vikings defense was really good this year until the final two weeks of the year when the Vikings got shellacked by the Lions in Week 18 and by the LA Rams on Monday night in the wild card game.
Flores also has a lot of detractors. Many felt he lacked people skills in Miami his first time around as a Head Coach. Plus there was the whole lawsuit against the NFL for discrimination. He says he's changed, and many around him say he has. We shall see.
Glenn is a former Jet, and a very popular choice among many in the fanbase. He has done an oustanding job leading the Lions defense this year, and is seen as a favorite for either the Jets job or New Orleans Saints job.
Keep in mind, following Mike McCarthy's exit from the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, there is a chance the Saints could go in on McCarthy, which might play into the a Glenn-Jets marriage. We shall see.
