After overseeing the worst December in NFL history based on point differential (-107), New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has come under fire in the New York media.

According to reports, though, it does not appear that Jets ownership has any plans of succumbing to the noise.

Per Albert Breer of SI, the chatter out of Florham Park is that Glenn’s job is safe.

“Here’s the reality of the Jets’ situation: There has been no discussion at the upper reaches of the organization about moving on from Aaron Glenn after one year,” Breer wrote. “And while some people would warn that Woody Johnson could quickly turn with another embarrassing Sunday at the office, I’d be pretty surprised if that happens.”

It should be viewed as an alarming update for Jets fans.

Glenn is overseeing a team that stands as not just one of the worst in Jets history, but also one of the worst in NFL history.

Glenn became the first head coach in Jets history to start 0-7, and things have only gone further downhill from there. For a franchise that has employed many lowly coaches, Glenn’s start has arguably been the least inspiring.

Expectations for the Jets were low entering the 2025 season, but no team, regardless of talent, has an excuse for being outperformed to the extent that Glenn’s team has. The rookie head coach’s struggles go beyond the Jets’ 3-13 record; they have been blown off the field more often than not and are incapable of returning the favor.

The Jets have a Simple Rating System (a metric that adjusts point differential for strength of schedule) of -12.0, which ranks 32nd in the NFL this season and second-worst in franchise history (ahead of the 1976 team).

It’s rare to see NFL head coaches fired during or after their first season with a new team. However, this is the type of colossal failure that tends to justify a one-and-done season.

Since 2018, eight head coaches have gone one-and-done, and their teams fielded an average SRS of -8.0. Not only is Glenn’s team four points worse than that, but his -12.0 SRS is worse than all eight of those coaches.

Even if Glenn sticks around, he will likely enter the 2026 season on the hot seat after overseeing a failure of this magnitude. If he does not facilitate tremendous improvement, which could be challenging to achieve with a rookie quarterback likely under center, there is a good chance that Glenn will be fired during the season.

It’s a similar scenario to the one that befell the Tennessee Titans. In 2024, the Titans hired Brian Callahan, who led the team to a dismal 3-14 record and -8.4 SRS. Instead of canning Callahan too early, the Titans did it too late, firing him six games into the 2025 season after an ugly 1-5 start. It’s left rookie quarterback Cam Ward playing for two head coaches in his first season, with a third set to arrive in 2026.

Is this the type of dysfunction the Jets want to put their new franchise quarterback through?

Seemingly so, if the reports are true that they insist on giving Glenn a mulligan for overseeing one of the worst teams in NFL history.
