Aaron Glenn’s job may not be as safe as Jets fans think (REPORT)

There was a point early in the 2025 season when it legitimately seemed possible that New York head coach Aaron Glenn could be one-and-done. The first-year head coach opened the year 0-7, with his Jets looking like the worst team in the NFL through the first two months of the season.

Fortunately, Glenn has managed to stabilize the organization since then, winning three out of his next five games to put an end to any talk that he could be fired after just one season. The assumption now is that Glenn's job is as safe as can be, regardless of what happens over the final few weeks of the year.

However, that might not be the case. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported this week that "there is a chance that it’s going to be one-and-done for Aaron Glenn in New York." Florio likened the Steve Wilks firing to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" as he attempts to salvage his job.

It’s unclear whether Florio’s comment is rooted in actual insider knowledge or mere speculation, but it still feels highly unlikely that Glenn would be fired after this season.

Don't expect the Jets to fire Aaron Glenn despite this latest report

Despite what Florio is reporting, it would be a stunner if the Jets fired Glenn after just one season with the organization. Jets owner Woody Johnson already offered his coach a public vote of confidence when speaking to reporters a couple of months ago.

The Jets allowed this regime to trade away two franchise cornerstones — Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams — at the deadline, a pair of moves Glenn had significant input on. It’s hard to imagine the organization giving him that level of authority if they didn’t trust his vision or plan to keep him around.

It's also difficult to justify that Glenn deserves to be fired, given his team's performance over the second half of the season. Glenn has shown modest improvement when it comes to both in-game decisions and on-field results.

The Jets are 3-4 in their last seven games, and while blowout losses in each of their most recent two outings have overshadowed that, the team's overall progress has been noticeable. The decision to fire Wilks shows that Glenn and the Jets are not afraid to be proactive when change is necessary

Of course, none of this is to say that Glenn has been perfect — far from it. The defense's struggles still do fall on his shoulders, especially since he was the one who hired Wilks in the first place. Admitting a mistake is nice, but that doesn't mean you didn't make the mistake.

The point, though, is that all indications are that Glenn's job is safe as the Jets play out the remainder of their season. One would think Glenn wouldn't be choosing to start an undrafted rookie at quarterback if that weren't the case.

Aaron Glenn isn't going anywhere. Don't read too much into this "report."
