Aaron Glenn hired as New York Jets coach: His influences, path

New Jets coach Aaron Glenn needs no introduction -- not to Jets fans, at least.

From 1994 to 2001, Glenn was a Jet. Selected with the No. 12 pick in the 1994 draft, the scrappy corner from Texas A&M had the type of unstable experience with the franchise that he intends to end as its new head coach, with a carousel of changing schemes, leadership styles and philosophies. He played for five different head coaches over his eight years in New York, and the organization has had another five since.

Glenn knows what it means to be a Jet -- to deal with the media circus and filter out criticism.
