Love this Aaron Glenn quote in @DanWetzel piece: "Everybody doesn’t fit with what we do because not everybody can take it. It’s for the tough, it’s for the grinders, it’s for the gritty, it’s for the guys who want to improve on a day-to-day basis. "And you are never satisfied.”

Aaron Glenn on @nyjets staff: I’m looking for the best coaches who are going to help us succeed and I do believe coaches are the start of your culture. … I’ve always taught it’s not coachability, it’s compatibility. I want to make sure the coaches we bring in are compatible.”

“I won’t call the defense,” @nyjets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters. “I want to be the best head coach you can find. In order for me to do that, I think I need to manage the game. So I will have my OC and DC, those guys will be calling the plays."

After playing together at @AggieFootball, @raymickens24 and Aaron Glenn paired up with the @nyjets. Ray recalled some 'D' meetings: "Belichick made us do these players-only film sessions, and Aaron just stepped up and led them all. I knew he was going to be a leader."

Got a note from my first boss tonight, legendary @nyjets PR head Frank Ramos. He was there for every year Aaron Glenn was a @nyjets player: "Aaron was one of the smartest players I can remember who ever played for the Jets. Coaches always talked about all the hours of film study he put in which I think helped him have such a long career as a DB, especially so since he was only 5-9 and 183 pounds. But even at that size he was as tough as nails sticking his head in there and making tackles as well as being so quick and smart in his pass coverage. He was a leader and well liked by his teammates."

"I'm a coach – I just happen to be on defense," he said earlier in January. "I understand offense just as well as a number of people. So, if you're going to hire me, you're going to hire a coach. You're not going to hire a defensive coach. I'm going to talk to the offense just as much as I'm going to talk to the defense."
Let's gooooooo! OFFICIAL: We’ve agreed to terms with Aaron Glenn to become the Head Coach of the New York Jets.

"Here's how I sum up leadership, it's really one word – it's influence," Glenn said. "And everyone I come in contact with, I want to influence them in some kind of positive way, and I don't take that for granted when it comes to players because that's my responsibility. It's almost the same as my children."

"This place is special for me," Glenn said. "From the time I was drafted and practiced on Long Island, to the time I came back as a scout in New Jersey, this organization has always felt like home."

Aaron Rodgers' 500 career TD goes to Tyler Conklin. That's a career-high 4 receiving TDs for Conk. #MIAvsNYJ
