Aaron Glenn Drops Unexpected Bombshell on Jets’ Future After Crushing Sunday Defeat

So here we are, watching the New York Jets stumble through an 0-5 start that even their most optimistic fans would find hard to sugarcoat — and rookie head coach Aaron Glenn just became the first in franchise history to open this rough. Now, if you asked me whether this signals doom or a slow-building rebound, I’d say—hold your horses. Glenn’s talk about “going back to work” and leaning on hard lessons from legends like Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson isn’t just coach-speak; it’s the messy, unglamorous grind that builds NFL teams. Yet, it’s hard not to wonder—how long do you keep praising practice when the scoreboard keeps flashing losses? Glenn’s candid acknowledgment of the struggles, mixed with his steely focus on process over immediate glory, offers a sharp lesson in patience for both Jets and their eager fans. Because, let’s face it, turning those “damn good” practices into real wins? That’s the real test.

The New York Jets fell to the Dallas Cowboys 37-22 on Sunday, dropping to 0-5 for the season.

Late garbage-time touchdowns softened the final margin for the second consecutive week, but the team trailed 30-6 before Justin Fields connected on two fourth-quarter scores.

With this start, Aaron Glenn becomes the first rookie head coach in Jets history to open 0-5.

Following the loss, Glenn addressed the media and signaled his expectations for the team moving forward.

Glenn acknowledged the current difficulties while emphasizing the team’s internal focus on improvement and preparation.

“It’s gonna take time, fellas. I mean, just because we’re struggling this year. […] The only thing that we can do is go back to work. And that’s what we have…. we’re doing everything we can to fix all these issues. And that’s all we can do,” Glenn told reporters.

He even pointed to conversations with veteran coaches Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson, both of whom faced early struggles before finding sustained success.

The Jets provide a clear example of why building success in the NFL rarely happens overnight.

New York has lost three of five games by a single score, remaining competitive outside of a blowout defeat to the Buffalo Bills.

Glenn emphasized that practices have been “damn good,” suggesting internal processes and preparation are on track even if results haven’t followed.

While shifting a culture takes time, publicly highlighting practice quality for a winless team raises questions.

Glenn’s message centers on process over immediate outcomes, which aligns with realistic expectations for a rebuilding season.

Converting that practice discipline into victories remains the challenge as the Jets search for their first win.
