“I’m a coach ,” Glenn said. “I just happen to be on defense. I understand the offense just as well as a number of people. If you want to hire me, you’re going to hire a coach. You’re not gonna hire a defensive coach. I’m gonna talk to the offense just as much as I’m gonna talk to the defense.”

As the Jets’ search for a new head coach slowly unfolds, links between Glenn and New York continue to strengthen. A separate report on Tuesday indicated that Glenn had a “strong interview” with the Jets during his first conversation in New York. The latest from ESPN added to that.

Both Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson are "gonna get jobs this hiring cycle," ESPN's Adam Schefter declared Tuesday.
