NY Jets fans and analysts are buzzing with excitement over the arrival of new head coach Aaron Glenn, who signed a five-year contract with the team on Wednesday, marking the start of a new chapter for the franchise.
While fans are eager to hear from Glenn, they’ll need to wait until Monday at 1 PM ET for his first press conference as head coach. In the meantime, Glenn will focus on helping the Jets finalize their general manager search and assembling his coaching staff — two crucial tasks that take priority over his media debut.
Reports suggest the Jets are nearing a decision on their general manager, with coaching staff announcements expected soon. Glenn will have extra time to prepare for his first official appearance as head coach.
**Update on Mike Westhoff:**
Aaron Glenn is reportedly considering veteran NFL special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff for his coaching staff. The mention of Westhoff’s name on Wednesday surprised many, given his history of stepping away from coaching due to health concerns. Most recently, Westhoff served as the assistant head coach of the Denver Broncos before leaving the team in November.
According to ESPN Radio’s Don La Greca, Westhoff is unlikely to join the Jets in a full-time role but is expected to assist Glenn in hiring staff and may work with the team during training camp. Given his age and recent health issues, a permanent coaching position is improbable. However, any involvement from Westhoff, who was the Jets’ special teams coordinator from 2001 to 2012, would be a significant asset for the organization.
