The New York Jets are hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Glenn will be making a return to the Jets, who selected him with the 12th overall pick of the 1994 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. The three-time Pro Bowl defensive back played the first eight of his 15 NFL seasons with New York and later worked as a scout for the franchise from 2012-13.
Glenn, 52, had a second, in-person interview with the Jets on Monday. He conducted a virtual interview with the team regarding its head coaching vacancy on Jan. 9.
Glenn’s season ended Saturday when the top-seeded Lions lost 45-31 to the visiting Washington Commanders in an NFC divisional playoff game.
He has been Detroit’s defensive coordinator since 2021 following stints as a defensive backs coach with the Saints (2016-20) and Cleveland Browns (2014-15).
The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start this season and went 3-9 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.
