Jets reportedly part ways with handful of assistants, as Aaron Glenn gears up for Year 2 staff makeover
In many ways, the New York Jets are back to the drawing board this offseason, their second with Aaron Glenn as head coach.
Following a 3-14 campaign, they're parting ways with quarterbacks coach Charles London, pass game coordinator Scott Turner, defensive line coach Eric Washington and linebackers coach Aaron Curry, as well as defensive assistants Roosevelt Williams and Alonso Escalante, according to multiple reports.
Glenn will make over his staff in Year 2, looking to restore success to a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since it reached back-to-back AFC championship games during the 2009 and '10 seasons.
The Jets are still in need of a viable, long-term quarterback. They rolled the dice with Justin Fields this season, and the dual threat was plagued by the same consistency issues in the passing game that he experienced with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears.
Glenn ultimately benched Fields for Tyrod Taylor nine starts in, and a combination of Taylor and undrafted rookie Brady Cook finished the season. Altogether, the group threw only two more touchdown passes (15) than interceptions (13).
The Jets finished dead last in the NFL with 140.3 passing yards per game. For reference, the Cleveland Browns were 31st in that department, with 165.1 yards per contest through the air.
New York has the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft. Unfortunately for the Jets and other quarterback-needy teams, they're faced with a relatively thin crop of prospects at the position, especially now that Oregon's Dante Moore is returning to school for the 2026 season.
Not only will the Jets have to come up with a better plan under center, but they'll also have to create more havoc on defense next season. Glenn, who picked off 41 passes as an NFL cornerback and oversaw a Detroit Lions defense that was top-10 in takeaways his final season as defensive coordinator, is well aware.
New York forced a measly four turnovers this season. Its division rival, the New England Patriots, generated five last week while advancing to the AFC championship. The Jets also became the first NFL team to finish a season without a single defensive interception, at least since those were first counted as a stat in 1933.
After New York ranked 29th in scoring offense and 31st in scoring defense, it's no surprise Glenn is reportedly making staff changes on both sides of the ball.
