Let’s not overreact to this, but Aaron Glenn left his Tuesday meeting with the New York Jets without agreement in hand to become their new head coach. And neither does Lance Newmark, the Washington Commanders executive being interviewed to become their new general manager. They worked together for the Detroit Lions and the popular perception was that they could be a package deal in New York, which would add an appeal to the job that Glenn was unable to find on the field. New Orleans Saints.
But this has already happened. As SNY Jets beat reporter Connor Hughes observed, former head coach Robert Saleh also left the Jets without a deal. Like Glenn, he had a second interview scheduled with another team (the Philadelphia Eagles), but his agent made a deal with the Jets and he never spoke to another team before being introduced to Jets media .
Hughes added that The Jets have begun telling other head coach and general manager candidates that the team will be going in a different direction and that they “believe Aaron Glenn and Lance Newmark will be named the next HC, GM of the team.” ‘team”. Things could unexpectedly deviate at the last minute, but that doesn’t look good.
Saints fans can afford some hope that Glenn can still fly to New Orleans and interview the team’s executives and even become their head coach instead, but that seems like a long shot . They may also need to consider other options.
