There are currently seven head coaching vacancies in the NFL, including the Jets, where Glenn played eight seasons between 1994-2001. He earned consecutive Pro Bowl nods in 1998 and 1999 and led the NFL with two interception touchdowns in 1996.

That's the reality that Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is currently dealing with. Glenn is a former Pro Bowl cornerback, has experience in scouting departments, and has helped turn around Detroit's much-maligned defense into one of the most feared in the NFL.

The New York Jets search for their next head coach rolls on. Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is not just a candidate for the job, but the former Jets player is amongst the favorites for it. If Williams had his way, Glenn would be selected for the position.

Robert Saleh didn’t get the Jets to fly in three-plus years there, but he has 2 of Super Bowl appearances (and 1 win) on his NFL resume.
