The Detroit Lions are riding high with a 3-1 record, but things couldn’t be more different for one of their former coordinators. Aaron Glenn, now the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets, is feeling the heat — and it showed after Monday’s loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Bitter Outburst After Dolphins Defeat
Following the Jets’ latest collapse, Glenn reportedly lost his cool in the locker room. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the yelling was so loud that reporters in the press conference room could hear it. That paints the picture of a coach boiling over with frustration.
It’s not hard to see why. The Jets coughed up two turnovers deep in Miami territory, gave up a 96-yard touchdown drive, and racked up a staggering 13 penalties. For Glenn, who once helped build Detroit’s defense into a contender, watching his unit unravel in New York had to be maddening.
Glenn Speaks Out
After tempers cooled, Glenn didn’t sugarcoat the team’s struggles:
“Very disappointing. There’s no way you can win any game with 13 penalties and three turnovers. But what we have to do is go back to work. We have to understand that before we can win games, we have to learn how to not lose games.”
Those words sting — not just for players, but for Jets fans who are already fed up with a winless start.
The Lions-Jets Contrast
The bitter irony? While Glenn is battling through chaos in New York, his former team sits at No. 3 in the NFL power rankings. Dan Campbell’s Lions are thriving, looking like true contenders while the Jets sink near the bottom at No. 30.
For Lions fans, the timing couldn’t be sweeter. For Glenn, it couldn’t be worse.
What’s Next for Glenn?
Glenn has the pedigree and passion to be a successful coach — Detroit fans saw flashes of that during his tenure. But with New York spiraling, his fiery outburst shows just how desperate things have become.
The question is: will his message wake up the locker room, or will the Jets continue their slide toward another lost season?
