Carrying an 0-7 record, Aaron Glenn is off to the worst start in history for a New York Jets head coach. That is saying quite a bit for the same franchise that employed Rich Kotite and Adam Gase.

It’s left a large chunk of the fanbase already thinking about potential replacements in 2026.

Another faction, though, is willing to be patient with Glenn as he endures an 0-7 start to his coaching career.

On the Monday afternoon following New York’s Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, I pitched a poll to Jets fans on Twitter asking whether they want Glenn back with the Jets in 2026. With over 1,200 votes, here are the results as of this writing.

  • Yes, want Glenn back no matter what: 11.1%
  • Leaning yes, subject to change: 31.8%
  • Leaning no, subject to change: 41.1%
  • No, want Glenn gone no matter what: 16%

These results yield a handful of important takeaways.

First and foremost, Glenn only has a small chunk of fervent supporters remaining. Only one out of every nine voters are dead set on Glenn returning in 2026. This means that if he doesn’t turn things around over the next 10 games, it is likely that the vast majority of the fanbase will be calling for a change.

The second-most important takeaway is a pleasant surprise in today’s social media-centric world: Most voters are at least willing to let the season play out before declaring a side. About 73% of voters declared they are “leaning” in a certain direction but open to changing their opinion based on how the next 10 games play out.

While nearly three quarters of voters are undecided on where they stand, it is clear that Glenn is already under immense scrutiny. Around 16% of voters are dead set on wanting Glenn out, while another 41% are leaning toward the desire for a change, bringing it to 57% of voters who currently prefer to see a new Jets head coach in 2026.

It’s hard to blame Jets fans for having such low confidence in Glenn before Halloween of his debut season. Their lack of faith is justified by the historical success rates of coaches to begin their tenures similarly.

Glenn is trying to become just the fifth head coach in the last 45 years to start a tenure 0-6 and lead that same team to the playoffs. Seventeen have tried over that span, and 13 have failed (76%).

One of the coaches who succeeded was Glenn’s old boss in Detroit, Dan Campbell. With Glenn as his defensive coordinator, Campbell started 0-8 in 2021 before leading the Lions to playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024. Campbell’s success story is surely a motivating factor for many of the Jets fans who don’t want to give up on Glenn just yet.

Following his 0-8 start, Campbell led the 2021 Lions to a 3-5-1 finish following their Week 9 bye. They boosted their point differential by nearly 10 points, improving from -13.8 before the bye to -3.9 over their final nine games. For a team with an over-under of 4.5 wins entering the season, it was a promising finish, which Detroit ultimately built upon in 2022 with a 9-8 record.

Glenn might need a stronger finish to win Jets fans back over.

While the Jets did not have high expectations entering the 2025 season, New York had an over-under of 6.5 wins entering this season, compared to Detroit’s 4.5 in 2021. Whereas Campbell’s three wins and a tie allowed him to essentially meet Detroit’s season-long expectations, the same finish for Glenn would leave him well below the Jets’ expectations.

Ultimately, nuance will be necessary to evaluate Glenn at the end of the season. Making a call on his long-term outlook cannot be as simple as citing his win-loss record.

Many questions must be asked: Did he learn any lessons when it comes to game management? Did he facilitate improvement in areas like discipline, preparation, in-game adjustments, and philosophy? Were the Jets’ wins impressive, and were their losses respectable? What type of circumstances did he face in terms of injuries and player execution?

It’s hard to tell where Jets fans will stand on Glenn’s future in 11 weeks. For now, though, Jets fans are running out of patience faster than they can yell “How are you not calling timeout there?”
