Joe Namath's fiery take on Aaron Glenn hire will have NY Jets fans buzzing

The NY Jets' hiring of Aaron Glenn as head coach has sparked excitement throughout the team's fanbase and around the NFL community. Fans and former players alike are rallying behind the move, hoping it signals a bright new chapter for the franchise.

One former player, in particular, who has expressed his elation about the hire is legendary Jets quarterback Joe Namath. Namath's passionate take on the Glenn hire is sure to have fans excited about what's to come.

Namath took to social media on Wednesday following news of Glenn's official hire to express his enthusiasm and unwavering support for the move. The Pro Football Hall of Famer sent an enthusiastic message to Jets fans, insisting he hopes they're all as excited as he is.

"I’m hoping all [Jets] fans are as thrilled as my family and I are that Aaron Glenn is our new head coach. I wish the season would start next week!"

Namath was far from the only former Jets player to express excitement about the hire. Everyone from Victor Green to Anthony Becht to Damien Woody is fired up about Glenn's arrival, and it's easy to see why.

Aaron Glenn has already won over the NY Jets community

It should come as no surprise that Glenn has already acquainted himself well with Jets fans and players alike. The former Pro Bowl cornerback spent eight years with the Jets and was beloved during his playing career.

Glenn’s ties to the organization run deep, making his hire feel like a homecoming for many in the fanbase. As a player, he was known for his leadership, intelligence, and competitive fire — traits that Jets fans hope will now translate to his role as head coach.

The Jets certainly hope that Glenn can orchestrate a similar cultural overhaul to the one he was a part of in Detroit. Under head coach Dan Campbell, Glenn helped the Lions transform their team identity, from longtime losers to one of the most stable organizations in the NFL.

Glenn was part of a similar overhaul during his playing career under former head coach and close personal friend Bill Parcells. Parcells remains one of Glenn's closest confidants and also recently expressed his excitement for his longtime protege.

With Glenn as head coach, the Jets are hoping to turn the page and build a brighter future rooted in discipline, passion, and accountability. For a fanbase that’s been craving stability and success, Glenn’s leadership could finally be the spark to turn the franchise's fortunes around.
