The New York Jets have their new head coach, and he's a familiar face to Gang Green fans. Aaron Glenn, a former NFL cornerback who played eight seasons with the Jets, will take over a team that is coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, according to multiple reports.

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.

Two Pro Football Hall of Famers who spent time with the New York Jets praised the hiring of Aaron Glenn as the team's new head coach.

Green & White alumni from all over Jets nation are chiming in on the signing of Aaron Glenn as the new head coach of the Jets. And no bigger alum is all over the AG hire than No. 12 residing these days in Florida.

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.

Woody Johnson believes the New York Jets have a bright future with the hiring of Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn.

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.

After interviewing 16 different people for the team’s head coaching vacancy, the New York Jets look like they have made their hire.

The Jets officially have a new General Manager. The team announced that they have agreed to terms with Darren Mougey on a contract to become the team’s G.M. The move comes days after Aaron Glenn was hired as their new head coach and both men will meet the media at a Monday press conference.

The New York Jets have agreed to terms with Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey to be their GM, a person familiar with the hiring told The Associated Press.

Darren Mougey’s football journey is quite a story. He played quarterback in high school and then attended San Diego State. After two years at the college level as a QB, Mougey converted to wide receiver. He went on to catch 66 passes for 805 yards and six touchdowns in his final two seasons with the Aztecs.
