The first finalist for the New York Jets head coaching vacancy has been revealed.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport shared on social media that Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn “is set for an in-person, second interview with the Jets.”
“Glenn will have options and electing to do his first visit to the team that drafted him, where he was an All-Pro, is significant,” Rapoport added.

Glenn is The Jets’ First Head Coaching Finalist
The green and white have interviewed 16 candidates for its head coaching vacancy. Glenn is the first of those candidates to do a second interview with the team.
Over the weekend, the Lions were eliminated from the playoffs by the Washington Commanders.
That surprising result “sped up the entire cycle” ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter explained on Sunday, January 19.
With the Lions out of the postseason, Glenn can be hired “as early as this week”, Schefter added.
“An important moment for the Jets and potential tipping point for the coaching searches around the league,” Rapoport said.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
