TODAY, 6:12pm: It doesn’t sound like any deals will come together tonight. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, both Glenn and Newmark have left the Jets facility without deals. Connor Hughes of SNY.tv cautions that all sides will continue to talk, so there’s no huge cause for concern within the Jets front office.
TODAY, 4:45pm: The clear favorites for the Jets are known regarding both the head coach and general manager vacancies. Lions DC Aaron Glenn and Commanders AGM Lance Newmark are meeting in person with the team today, paving the way for a potential hire in both cases. 
New York’s reported intention is to work out an agreement with Glenn before he leaves the facility; especially if that proves to be the case, Newmark could soon agree to take on GM duties. The two have worked together in Detroit, and Newmark is the only candidate so far who has met with the Jets for a second time regarding the general manager vacancy. This situation could produce a pair of hires very soon.
Bovada’s Josina Anderson reports optimism is building with respect to both Glenn and Newmark being brought onboard. An agreement has yet to be finalized in either case, but that could of course change at any time. Considering Glenn has already been in contact with potential coordinator hires, it would come as no surprise if he were to agree to a New York deal. If that does not take place today, however, the Saints will continue to loom as an alternative destination.
Newmark’s Commanders are one of the four teams still playing, but as the Titans’ hiring of former Chiefs exec Mike Borgonzi demonstrated, front office personnel are free to join new teams at any time. Coaches whose seasons have ended cannot do the same, but the Lions’ upset loss this weekend left Glenn (along with Ben Johnson) on the market earlier than expected.
The Jets have leaned heavily on The 33rd Team’s Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman to lead the search for both the HC and GM roles. Both processes have been wide-ranging, but further signs indicate they have come to an end. SNY’s Connor Hughes reports other candidates are being contacted and told they are out of the running, all-but confirming a Glenn-Newmark tandem will soon officially be in place.
If Aaron Glenn gets hired as a HC, Lions receive 2 3rd round compensatory draft picks..1 in 2025, the other in 2026.
I do not know if Glenn will be any better than Saleh since they are both defensive coaches. I just hope some coach out there can get them to the point where they are no longer the laughing stock of the league.
We have to hope Glenn provides us with a better offense. Though im expecting another decade of strong defense and no offense resulting in more sub .500 seasons
The Raiders have done that for you for twenty years. Okay, maybe except for the buttfumble and the whole Rex Ryan foot fetish thing (to each their own).
Jets could screw up a cup of coffee.
Aaron Glenn seems like a decent guy and likely worthy of a HC position. It is unfortunate that he has to pick from the most dysfunctional franchises in which to get that position.
If Glenn is hired, does he keep Rodgers?
I dont think theres been any reports one way or the other regarding if he’d keep Rodgers. I’d imagine he’d be more open to it than a OC who wants a rookie QB
Agreed. Unless a team is already in the top 3, I see no need to trade up for Sanders or Ward. Neither of them tickle my fancy at all. If they were in last years class, I know they aren’t so it’s stupid to compare them really, I would have had both behind Williams and Daniels by a mile and maybe behind Penix as well. I was a bigger fan of Penix than most, however.
