Aaron Glenn taking second Jets interview with pressure on team to move quickly

Aaron Glenn is getting a second look from the Jets for their head coaching vacancy, this one in-person.

Glenn, who was drafted 12th overall by the Jets in 1994 and is the current Lions defensive coordinator, interviewed with the Jets virtually while Detroit was still in its playoff run.

With the Lions eliminated from the playoffs by Washington on Saturday night, Glenn is free to make in-person visits with teams. He is reportedly scheduled to visit the Saints on Wednesday for an in-person interview.

Glenn has also interviewed virtually with the Saints, with whom he also has ties, having coached defensive backs in New Orleans from 2016-’20 and where he played in 2008.

It’s possible the Jets may have to act quickly if Glenn is their No. 1 choice, because New Orleans is obviously interested and the Saints already have their general manager in place, with Mickey Loomis entering his 22nd season with the team and very familiar with Glenn.

The Jets, of course, remain without a general manager, which may complicate things if team owner Woody Johnson wants to hire Glenn. Because if Johnson wants to attract whomever his top GM candidate is, that job perhaps becomes less attractive if that GM has nothing to do with the hiring of the team’s head coach.

The Jets have interviewed some 15 candidates for their vacant general manager position, a job held by Joe Douglas for six years before Douglas was fired in midseason.

They have interviewed 16 candidates for their vacant head coaching job.

If Glenn is their man, they likely must act quickly — with both the GM and head coaching decisions.
