Aaron Glenn was hired to be their 19th full-time head coach on Wednesday. Glenn, who was the Jets’ first-round draft choice in 1994 and played eight seasons for the team, spent the past four years as the Lions defensive coordinator.

While Wednesday's hiring of Aaron Glenn as head coach won't undo years of pain, it's a step in the right direction for the troubled franchise.

Glenn comes back to New York after a strong playing career as a former first-round pick in 1994. He is entering the top job as a first time head coach but has been with the team as a scout, and has had other stops around the league as an assistant under Sean Payton and Dan Campbell.

Aaron Glenn has a big booster in Bill Parcells, who is strongly backing the Jets' hire of the former NFL cornerback as the team's new head coach.

Rodgers has been a long-time colleague of Bucs head coach Todd Bowles, going back to their days as assistant coaches on Bill Parcells' staff with the Cowboys. Rodgers also was Bowles' defensive coordinator for four seasons with the Jets.

Anzalone, a linebacker, has played under Glenn in all eight of his NFL seasons and says the Jets are getting a no-nonsense coach who "knows when to push people" but also "to uplift" them.
