While the NFL world buzzes with debates over the “tush push” and endless speculation about Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets’ new head coach Aaron Glenn prefers the quiet approach.
Just two years ago, the big question surrounded when the Jets would finally secure Rodgers.
Now, the team maintains a low profile, despite owner Woody Johnson occasionally generating headlines.
For Glenn, this reduced attention represents progress—after years of organizational dysfunction, he welcomes the Jets operating beneath the radar for once.
The shift reflects his deliberate strategy to rebuild the team’s culture away from the spotlight.
During a recent conversation with Jets reporter Eric Allen, Glenn elaborated on his philosophy.
“Listen, in the offseason, everybody’s a champ, everybody’s going to the Super Bowl, but when the season starts, that really tells you who you are. So, I tell our guys, listen. ‘We don’t have to talk. We don’t have to say anything. The only thing we need to do is get the work in. And as the season progresses….. then all talking comes to how we play, and then we don’t have to move in silence anymore, all right. Then everything that we were doing right is going to speak for itself. And that speaks volumes to me,” Glenn explained.

A new chapter has begun for the New York Jets, guided by one of their own.
The organization is being reshaped under Glenn, a former first-round pick and Pro Bowl player who climbed through coaching ranks before arriving to lead when the team needed him most.
The Jets’ potential return to relevance starts with Glenn’s leadership.
The entire organization—from owner Woody Johnson down—supports his approach to fixing their long-criticized culture.
Rather than chasing expensive free agents, they’ve pivoted toward younger players with something to prove.
This offseason wasn’t about flashy signings or headline-grabbing moves. Instead, it focused on investing in Glenn, his coaching staff, and their commitment to developing talent.
