New York’s 2025 season is spiraling, and all eyes are now on the man in charge. Aaron Glenn, in his first year as head coach of the New York Jets, is facing a maelstrom of criticism after a 13-11 loss in London to the Denver Broncos.
The Jets are now the NFL’s last winless team, and amid rumors of an imminent coaching change, the organization seems to be digging in rather than cutting ties.
By all accounts, the Jets are not entertaining the idea of replacing Glenn this season. Multiple sources have confirmed that owner Woody Johnson has given Glenn room to build, citing patience and financial constraints as key reasons for holding off on drastic moves.
But that calm surface conceals growing tension between coaching staff, players, and an increasingly impatient fan base.
Mounting frustration inside and out
Last Sunday’s game in London may have been the clearest indicator of the discontent behind closed doors.
In a dramatic moment, wide receiver Garrett Wilson was seen yelling in the direction of Coach Glenn after the offense let the clock expire at the end of the first half, refusing to attempt a final play despite being down 10-6.
Glenn later attempted to frame Wilson‘s outburst as passion, saying, “I mean who wouldn’t be p***ed when things aren’t going right? That’s not going to change and I like that about him.”
Off the field, commentators were equally stunned. During the broadcast, Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner called out the Jets‘ bizarre clock mismanagement, with Warner admitting he was “speechless” over the lack of urgency.
Adding to the pressure, Glenn openly acknowledged flaws in his own team’s performance. After the London loss, he assessed starting quarterback Justin Fields‘ showing as “a step back.”
Fields, under constant pressure, completed just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards and was sacked nine times, leading to a franchise-worst net passing total of minus 10 yards.
Glenn defended his decision not to bench Fields after one poor performance, warning that rotating quarterbacks midseason could undercut long-term stability in the locker room.
Even so, internal unease is spreading beyond the offense. As the losses accumulate, chatter about the viability of the coaching staff has grown louder.
While Glenn does enjoy the backing of Johnson, the relationship is being tested.
Glenn told reporters, “Me and Woody have had really good conversations, and he understands everything that we’re trying to do.” He added that the goal has always been foundational, not a quick fix.
That said, not everyone believes Glenn‘s job is safe indefinitely. The Jets already surprised fans by dismissing Robert Saleh midseason in 2024, and the national coaching landscape is volatile in 2025, with several coaches on the hot seat.
For now, though, the organization seems intent on staying its course.
