New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn faces significant pressure to stabilize the franchise as the team enters a new era under owner Woody Johnson. The organization remains under scrutiny after failing to convert extensive preseason media expectations into on-field success during the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.
