Jets team owner Woody Johnson still believes in Aaron Glenn. He thinks QB is issue, not HC. "If you look at any head coach with a QB like that, you’re going to see similar results across the league," Woody told us just now. "If we could just complete a pass, it would look good." pic.twitter.com/B2nKoevHoL
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's faith in first-year head coach Aaron Glenn hasn't wavered despite their struggles so far this season.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn is mulling a quarterback change. If it were up to owner Woody Johnson, the Justin Fields era likely would be over.
Even without Glenn, Detroit’s defense ranks among the league’s best in generating pressure and takeaways. The Lions are thriving off cohesion and depth, two traits that often separate the good teams from the great ones down the stretch of a mentally and physically taxing NFL season.
A former first-round pick by the Jets in 1994, Glenn has been tasked with ending the longest active playoff drought in the NFL. Barring the biggest turnaround in league history, that won't happen in 2025. Glenn is the first coach in Jets history to begin 0-7, and he's the first first-year coach to begin 0-7 in the NFL in six years.
While his Jets are the NFL's last winless team, Johnson preached patience while speaking to reporters at the league meetings in New York.
Glenn benched starting quarterback Justin Fields at halftime of Sunday’s loss to the Panthers, but has yet to make a decision on who will start this weekend when the Jets travel to face the Bengals. Tyrod Taylor threw two interceptions in relief of Fields in the second half of Sunday’s loss, but the Jets moved the ball better.
Jets owner Woody Johnson on Tuesday affirmed his support for first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and blamed the team's QB play for its 0-7 start.
Justin Fields, who might be benched for Week 8, led the Jets to 32 points against the Steelers in Week 1. Carson Wentz had 350 yards against the Steelers in Week 4. Then the coup de grace: Joe Flacco torched the Steelers for 342 yards and three touchdowns in a Bengals win just nine days after Cincinnati acquired him in a trade.
