West Palm Beach, Florida – During his first annual NFL meeting as a head coach Aaron Glenn shared his vision on Monday to repair the New York jets, which were in perpetual reconstruction.
In the past 14 seasons, the jets have experienced a winning season. They qualified for the qualifiers for the last time during the 2010-11 season. And when the 2025-26 season begins, Glenn will become the fourth non-interim jet coach of the jets in the past eight seasons.
So much for stability.
Of course, the new leader of the jets does not focus on the troubled history of the franchise. By nature, Glenn, formerly defensive coordinator of the Detroit lions, is turned forward. The jets hired him to stop laughing, and Glenn returned to the organization that drafted him because he is convinced that he can.
To this goal, Glenn count on the quarter-rear of New Jets Justin Fields to be a change agent.
Need a new management after their failed two -year experience with the former legend of Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers, the jets signed fields at the start of the free agency in order to upgrade the most important position in sport. Already named the team starter, Fields will have the opportunity to maximize its potential, which has not always been the case in its previous places of employment within the League.
“You go back and watch (field game film) to Ohio State – Big Arm, understands how to manage an attack when he gave the opportunity,” said Glenn while AFC coaches met journalists. Just a really, really good person, (a) a really intelligent person who knows football. … We will let him play the quarter-arre.
“I mean, that’s what he always wanted to do. And listen, I don’t say he didn’t have the opportunity to play this, do that, in other places. This is not my problem. But I know what I want to do with this player. Obviously, I want to use his legs. But I also want to give him a chance to go there and play in the quarter.”

Although Fields, 26, is one of the best quarters of the moving league, Glenn is confident that Fields also has good days to come in the back-back game. Glenn hired the former coordinator of the Lions Tanner Engstrand game to be the offensive game games. Together, Glenn and Engstrand will put fields to the test throughout the club’s off -season program while building the offensive around the choice of recovery of the Chicago Bears in 2021.
In a decision that surprised some long -standing club observers, the jets quickly moved to name fields as a starter instead of making him compete with the 14 -year -old veteran Tyrod Taylor, who played in two games for the team last season, for first place. For his part, Glenn finds nothing unusual in the engagement of jets towards the fields.
“No one will say that there is no competition. This team will be built on the competition,” said Glenn. “Just because you are one on the depth that is written in pencil. This league concerns competition and elite athletes, they thrive on it.
“So, just because (Fields) is a quarter 1 does not mean that Tyrod will not be on this hill. Everyone must have, you must have, a graph of depth. This is what this league is. But there will be competition. (Fields) knows this and Tyrod knows.

With the departure of Rodgers, the arrival of the fields and another change of direction under Glenn, the jets start again. With so unknown, Glenn, wisely, would not be pinned about the approach of the team in attack and defense.
“Regarding the type of offense you are going to direct, the offensive and the defense are built around the staff you have,” said Glenn. “So I don’t want to sit here and say:” who we’re going to be. “”
“Talent will do a very good job to understand everyone that we will have in whole on this offense. We will build an offense to what they can do. So I don’t want to sit here and say, “Dude, we’re going to run the ball. We are going to be game actions. We have to see what we have.
For a long time, the jets did not have enough what it takes to win. Glenn is determined to change this. Fields will be able to help him.
