Aaron Glenn was part of a major organizational change while being the defensive coordinator of the Lions and he hopes to trigger another as a chief of the jets.
The Lions had spent 20 years without a playoff victory before Glenn joined Dan Campbell’s first staff in Detroit and they suffered a first season before a winning season in their second year of the stage for two consecutive division titles. The jets have not been to the playoffs since the 2010 season and Glenn said last week that “a process” will have to be played to follow a similar path.
Glenn said that the first stages of this process “concern the people we bring in the building”, whether players, coaches or support staff and that the first part of the off -season program is devoted to resetting the tone inside the team.
“Understand what phase one is really,” said Glenn, via Brian Costello of the New York Post. “We are trying to become larger, faster, stronger, more explosive. This is the only thing I want the players to worry me at that time. We have a lot of time for the scheme. We have a lot of time to talk about super bowls and playoffs, but right now, build a culture and build an environment in this building is The most important thing Right now for me.
Glenn was one of the winning teams as a player before helping to trigger the turnaround for Lions. It left him a clear idea of the path he wants the jets to take and now he must just follow his team.
