After an exhaustive search for their new coach -- 16 candidates were interviewed over one month -- the New York Jets selected Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was a 1994 first-round pick and starred for eight seasons at cornerback in New York.
Glenn is charged with rescuing one of the NFL's most downtrodden franchises. The Jets haven't made the playoffs in 14 years, the longest active drought in major North American sports.
In his first three games as a rookie cornerback, Glenn faced Jim Kelly, John Elway and Dan Marino -- all Hall of Famers.
