Aaron Glenn’s success with the Detroit Lions defense has made him one of the most coveted assistant coaches this offseason. As the Lions’ defense continues to show improvement, Glenn’s leadership and ability to develop young talent have made him an attractive candidate for head coaching roles.
According to a report from Brian Costello of the New York Post, Glenn has told people that the New York Jets are his top choice for a head coaching position. While Glenn has not publicly confirmed this, his ties to the Jets — who he played for during his NFL career — may give credence to the rumor.

Why the Jets?
Glenn’s connection to the Jets goes back to his playing days when he spent five seasons in New York as a cornerback. His familiarity with the organization, combined with his success as a defensive coordinator, makes the Jets an appealing destination for Glenn if the opportunity arises. With the Jets in need of a new direction following another disappointing season, Glenn could be seen as a candidate who understands the culture and is capable of leading the team to greater success.
The Big Picture: Glenn’s Coaching Future
As the Lions prepare for their playoff push, Glenn’s future with the team remains uncertain. Should the Jets — or another franchise — come calling with a head coaching offer, it could signal the end of Glenn’s tenure in Detroit. However, for now, he remains focused on the Lions' postseason aspirations.
Whether he stays in Detroit or heads to New York, Aaron Glenn’s reputation as a rising star in the coaching ranks continues to grow, and his next move will be closely watched by NFL fans and analysts alike.
