NFL fans left stunned as new head coach ‘introduces controversial religious sessions in training’

NFL fans left stunned as new head coach 'introduces controversial religious sessions in training'

New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has divided opinion among fans after apparently bringing religious sessions to the franchise.

Glenn, 52, was hired by the organization in January and has been tasked with getting Gang Green to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.

And the former Lions defensive coordinator seems to be leaning on his faith – and encouraging others to do the same – as a picture of a supposed ‘Jets Bible study’ handout spread on social media.

‘The Jets have a Bible study? [Aaron Glenn] I love you,’ read the initial X post, which was purportedly taken from the Instagram story of safety Jarius Monroe.

‘We need Jesus,’ another said of the struggling franchise.

‘Lombardi was a devout Catholic so maybe there’s something to this,’ a third added of the legendary Packers coach.

Others, however, were not impressed.

‘If this is true I might be out on the Jets,’ one fan said.

 ‘wtf are they doing in my organization dawg,’ a second added.

And a third took a sH๏τ at the team’s owner, Woody Johnson, writing: ‘God cant save you from @woodyjohnson4.’

The picture, which was posted on X by a Jets fan before being spread by conservative accounts, is said to derive from the Instagram account of Monroe.

Monroe’s name is written in the corner of the page, while five different sections of the the page are completed.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Jets to confirm whether the picture is legitimate.

Glenn, who was a Pro Bowl cornerback with the Jets during his playing days, previously came under fire this offseason when Aaron Rodgers criticized how his exit from the organization was handled.

Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers slammed Glenn for making him fly from California to New Jersey for an extremely brief conversation where he learned he wasn’t wanted.

 ‘I figured that when I flew across country to my dime there would be a conversation (over his future),’ Rodgers said. ‘The confusing thing to me is I went out there, I meet with the coach, we start talking… he runs out of the room. I’m like ‘that’s strange.’

 ‘Then he comes back with the GM and I’m like all right. So we sit down and I think we’re going to have this long conversation and 20 seconds in and he (Glenn) goes: ‘You sure you wanna play football?’ And I said ‘yes’ and he said ‘we’re going in another direction at quarterback’.

Ultimately, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40million contract in free agency to see what they can get out of the dual-threat quarterback. 

Glenn’s Jets will begin the regular season on September 7 against the Steelers.
