Joe Namath expressed his excitement Wednesday about the Jets hiring Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, their former Pro Bowl cornerback, as their new head coach. “I’m hoping all @nyjets fans are as thrilled as my family and I are that Aaron Glenn is our new Head Coach,” Namath wrote on X. “I wish the season would start next week!”

The New York Jets have their new head coach, and he's a familiar face to Gang Green fans. Aaron Glenn, a former NFL cornerback who played eight seasons with the Jets, will take over a team that is coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, according to multiple reports.

Aaron Glenn recently was named the Jets' next head coach and Darren Mougey was named the general manager. Both faced the New York media for the first time in their respective positions and both have earned some praise for their performances.
