FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Aaron Glenn's storybook homecoming with the New York Jets hasn't produced many wins, but he's encouraged by the support he's receiving from owner Woody Johnson. Glenn, who has lost three straight games and 17 of 21 since was hired, said Wednesday that his interactions with Johnson are "very productive."
"[We have] very positive conversations," Glenn said. "We speak after the games all the time and he gives me his thoughts. I give him the rundown on how things go. I mean, that's the beauty of our relationship is being able to have open dialogue with each other, throwing everything on the table. There's also a trust factor there."
Their relationship dates to 2000, when Johnson purchased the Jets and Glenn was a star cornerback. Glenn's return has been bumpy, however. He went 3-14 last season, fired half his coaching staff and now is mired in a three-game losing streak as he prepares to face the upstart Cleveland Browns (3-1) on Sunday at Met Life Stadium.
Johnson, who hasn't spoken to the media in a full year, is on his eighth head coach. He fired Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start in 2024. Glenn's record is 4-17, the second-worst mark for 21 games in franchise history. Barring a sudden turnaround, the Jets (1-3) will miss the playoffs for the 16th straight season.
