1. Everyone I've ever met who's been around Aaron Glenn would run through a wall for him
2. The tenacity + play of the Lions D as they continued to lose players was incredible--and a stark contrast w/ NY https://t.co/lExtMHOfP4
Aaron Glenn is the Head Coach of the New York Jets and that means the Jets will have an attacking culture of no excuses and maximum effort.

Go watch the Lions defense on tape and see how they fly around and attack despite having so many guys on IR. They never felt sorry for…

HOF Coach Bill Parcells, who had Aaron Glenn as a player at the Jets and Cowboys, is fired up for Glenn and says this about his style: "He's not afraid to be contentious. He's just feisty. Not rude or impolite. He's just willing to get his point across."

Congrats to my teammate of 8yrs Aaron Glenn. He’ll be an excellent HC in the NFL. I believe #NYJ is the perfect fit. He knows the ownership, more importantly, he knows the fans and the fans know him. I always believed you have to be built different to play/coach in NY. He is him pic.twitter.com/Q26Me6q4p6

From my limited time with him, I think Aaron Glenn has the best chance to be the next Dan Campbell of anyone in the coaching market. @PSchrags has heard from Sean Payton about Glenn for years. Why we think Glenn is a great hire for head coach.
