Aaron Glenn, Woody Johnson have ‘positive conversations’ as Jets job security questions linger
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is facing growing job security concerns amid a dismal stretch of results, but he insists his relationship with owner Woody Johnson remains strong. The Jets have lost eight of their last nine games, including a three-game losing streak, and Glenn’s tenure has been marked by a 4-17 record over two seasons.
Despite the struggles, Glenn emphasized that he and Johnson maintain an open, trusting dialogue, with the coach describing their conversations as 'very positive' even during the recent slump. Their long-standing professional connection—dating back to 2000, when Johnson purchased the team and Glenn was still a player—has evolved into a collaborative partnership, with Glenn later joining as a scout before being hired as head coach in 2025.
Johnson’s past history of quickly replacing coaches, such as firing Robert Saleh after just five games in 2024, adds to the uncertainty surrounding Glenn’s future beyond 2027, though the coach remains optimistic about his standing with the franchise’s leadership. On the field, Glenn made a strategic call to cancel Wednesday’s practice in favor of a walk-through, prioritizing player recovery after the Jets were outplayed by the Bears with 89 offensive plays in their last game.
Injuries also loom as key contributors like tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) and edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare (knee) remain limited, while other starters—including running back Breece Hall (quad), wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger), and linebacker Kiko Mau—are dealing with setbacks ahead of their next matchup.
