The New York Jets have hired their next head coach: former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. It seems some franchise legends are ecstatic about the team's latest hire, who marks the organization's eighth head coach since 2000.

Joe Namath expressed his excitement Wednesday about the Jets hiring Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, their former Pro Bowl cornerback, as their new head coach. “I’m hoping all @nyjets fans are as thrilled as my family and I are that Aaron Glenn is our new Head Coach,” Namath wrote on X. “I wish the season would start next week!”
