A recent report sheds light on Aaron Glenn’s decision to become the New York Jets’ head coach instead of taking the job with the New Orleans Saints. According to Timothy Jones of Bleacher Report, Glenn’s choice was influenced by his strong desire to have a larger role in the decision-making process, particularly regarding the team’s front office.
Glenn reportedly requested that the Saints part ways with their current General Manager, Mickey Loomis, and wanted a say in selecting a new GM. However, the Saints were unwilling to accommodate these demands, which made the Jets, who offered Glenn more control over his future, the more attractive option.
With this move, Glenn will now lead the Jets into the 2025 season, a decision that aligns with his ambition for more influence over the team’s direction.
