When the New York Jets hired Aaron Glenn as head coach a year ago, they sold fans on the idea of a CEO-style coach who could transform the rotten culture that had infiltrated the walls of One Jets Drive for the better part of the past 15 years.
Glenn said so himself. He was brought in to be a culture-changer, a head coach who would oversee every aspect of the organization rather than tie himself to one side of the ball.
The first-year head coach reiterated that long-term plan throughout the season. He pleaded with fans to believe in his vision and to not "let go of the rope,” figuratively speaking, insisting that “big ships turn slowly” as the Jets struggled and asking for patience while his plan took shape.
