The conversations are starting early for New York's coach.
Could Jets' Aaron Glenn be one-and-done as head coach? originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The last time the started their season 0-5 was 2020, when they ended up 2-14 and selected No. 2 overall in the following year's draft.
They wound up firing head coach Adam Gase at season's end.
Now, New York is headed down the same path, with a historically awful start and murky future at best. Could Aaron Glenn suffer the same fate as Gase did half a decade ago?
Could Aaron Glenn be fired if the Jets don't turn their season around?
The Draft Network's Justin Melo recently wrote a piece breaking down each first-year head coach's start to the 2025 season, and he did give some credit to Glenn amid a brutal skid.
"Aaron Glenn's New York Jets are the league's lone winless team through five weeks. The Jets are rebuilding after moving on from veterans like Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. They've been occasionally competitive, losing one-score games to the and ," wrote Melo.
"They've also been awful in various categories, with the worst turnover differential (-8) in the NFL, and committing 42 total penalties, third-most in the league. They're playing hard for Glenn, and this is a patient rebuild with obvious growing pains."
It seems for now, Glenn and company will return for a second season in New York, barring a complete bottoming out in the coming months. But if the Jets keep getting blown out and look disinterested in the process, the calls for a firing will only grow louder.
The 2025 Jets are the first team in NFL history to lose their first five games without forcing a single turnover, and if they keep racking up embarrassing records, then Glenn may follow in the footsteps of Lou Holtz and Pete Carroll as the only Jets coaches to be dismissed after one season.
