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.

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells is fired up for Aaron Glenn after the former Cowboys DB accepted the New York Jets head coaching job.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn was recently likened to a legendary NFL head coach who spent time at the helm of Gang Green.

Since then, New York has tried to do everything it can to find the next Parcells. Even if it means hiring people who have either played or worked under him.

It was widely assumed that Glenn and Washington Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark were a package deal. After all, they worked together for three years with the Detroit Lions, and both were present Tuesday at the team facility for second interviews. Newmark was the first GM candidate to get a second (in-person) interview.

The hiring cycle has been a long process for the Jets after firing head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas during the season. New York interviewed over 30 candidates in total between their two big openings before finally settling on Mougey and Aaron Glenn.

The New York Jets and Denver Broncos have yet another link tying the two organizations together ahead of the 2025 offseason.

After serving as the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions for the past four years and helping lead Detroit from the NFL's outhouse to the NFC's best record, Aaron Glenn has agreed to become the head coach of the New York Jets, per ESPN's Rich Cimini.

One of the people happy about the Aaron Glenn's new job is Bill Parcells, who was his coach with the Jets and the Cowboys.
