Aaron Glenn’s Rise

As the defensive coordinator for the Lions, Glenn has earned significant praise for transforming their defense. Known for his aggressive and strategic defensive approach, Glenn has quickly become a rising star in the coaching community. His leadership could provide the Jets with much-needed stability and success on defense, making him a compelling candidate.

Ben Johnson’s Offensive Transformation

On the other hand, Ben Johnson’s work as the Lions’ offensive coordinator has been remarkable. Under his guidance, the Lions have developed one of the NFL’s most potent offenses. Johnson’s talent in developing young players and creating explosive plays could be just what the Jets need to overhaul their offense.

As the Jets continue their search, it remains unclear whether Johnson or Glenn will transition to a head coaching role. For now, both coaches continue to lead the Lions successfully, though their futures may soon lead them in a different direction.
