FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- On his journey from low-level scout to highly coveted coordinator, Aaron Glenn told friends his "dream job" was to coach the New York Jets -- the franchise that made him a first-round pick in 1994.
It became reality Wednesday, as Glenn -- most recently the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator -- agreed in principle to become the 18th full-time head coach in Jets history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Jets hope to complete the blockbuster day by naming a general manager, and they're deep into talks with former longtime Lions executive Lance Newmark.
