Report: Jets Coach Aaron Glenn "SAFE" for 2026

Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn is not going anywhere. Despite a flurry of rumors over the past couple days, the Jets will stand by their coach as preparations for the 2026 season are pretty much in full swing at this point, even with three games left in 2025.

The news comes from Dianna Russini of the Athletic who is always very good at getting big scoops when it comes to the Jets.

“Aaron Glenn’s job is safe, and agents around the league are operating with the understanding that his position won’t be open. Woody Johnson and the Jets organization recognize this rebuild will take time,” Russini wrote on X.

It makes a tone of sense for the Jets to bring back Glenn.

1) He and GM Darren Mougey were brought in together, and have been pretty much aligned throughout the season, and the moves Mougey and Glenn have made this year in concert all have an eye toward 2026.

They traded away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams to acquire draft capital that they will surely use either once the league year starts in March to either acquire veteran players or to move up in the NFL Draft.

They have also re-signed a number of pending free agents like Josh Meyers and Jeremy Ruckert. It remains to be seen what they will do to retain Breece Hall who is a free agent later this winter. If anything the other moves might clear the decks for focus on the Hall front. We'll see.

The Jets also need the continuity becuase they are expected to bring in a new quarterback for next season. Whether it be trading up for Fernando Mendoza (if possible), or taking someone like a Dante Moore (if he declares for the draft). The Jets need a franchise quarterback after the Justin Fields experiment went sideways fast this year.

Glenn and Mougey are also busy in their search for a new defensive coordinator who can be more aggressive and put Glenn's plans into better use on the defensive side of the ball.

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...
