Can Aaron Glenn turn the New York Jets around?

Glenn is in his first year in charge of the Jets, a historic franchise that has been struggling for some time.

This year is no exception, with the team beginning the season with a 0-4 start, making any playoff appearance for the team almost impossible.

But, this is not the first time that Glenn has been part of a struggling team.

He was a member of the Detroit Lions coaching staff during the early days of Dan Campbell's tenture and was able to help transform the team into what they are today. He spoke about this experience to the media this week, saying:

"It was tough to go through, but man, you just make sure that you lean on those things, those positives that you see within the games that you play, and you still try to make sure it is a play style that you're trying to create within your team that we saw happening at that point, and we just knew at some point it was going to break through, and once it broke through, man, we were just rolling."

After Glenn's first season as defensive coordinator with the Lions in 2021, they had a three win season. A year later, the team would rapidly improve to nine wins and have only gotten better.

Jets fans will be hoping that they can see a similar transformation with Glenn at the helm. This may be a slow process, but as the training session video shows us, the Jets are beginning to work on the issues that are causing their woes.
