Aaron Glenn interviewed the Jets, too. After a season in which multiple reports painted owner Woody Johnson and his two teenage sons as meddling in football decision-making, Glenn said Monday that his two interviews before he was hired as head coach involved a back-and-forth despite the sides’ preexisting familiarity.

Team owner Woody Johnson has pinned the team's future on those two, but he admitted he has to perform better in his role as well.The Jets haven't reached the postseason since 2010, and they've turned in exactly one winning season over that stretch.
