Aaron Glenn Still Considered Safe for 2026

 A lot has been made about the job security of Jets head coach Aaron Glenn the past several days. For starters fans have been up in arms about Glenn with many calling for his firing following Gang Green's 42-10 meltdown to the New England Patriots last week. 

The loss marked the fourth straight week where the Jets had been blown out by 23 points or more in a contest. 


Then on Monday night, Miami-based NFL National writer Armando Salguero posted on OutKick that Glenn's is possibly on the Hot Seat following the defeat. 

However, come Wednesday morning that talk had firmly died down. First Rich Cimini stated on a podcast that the firing of Glenn now after one year would be very surprising, and that ownership has the coaches' back. 

Then NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that Glenn and GM Darren Mougey will be back in 2026, as they have made moves this year with the focus strictly on the 2026 season and beyond. 

So to all those who still wish to see the axe dropped, well, keep dreaming. Glenn is not going anywhere. It would be shortsighted of owner Woody Johnson to pull the plug when it was pretty firmly established after the club started 0-7 that they would try to position themselves for draft picks. They made trades of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams in order to do so, and the last four weeks they have basically tanked without saying so. 

The Jets currently sit third in the NFL Draft order, and could have their choice of either quarterback Fernando Mendoza or, if he declares, Dante Moore come April's Draft.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
