The New York Jets are hitting the reset button-again.
Just one year into his tenure as head coach, Aaron Glenn has made sweeping changes to his inaugural staff, parting ways with seven assistant coaches after a historically rough 2025 campaign. Among the departures was passing game coordinator Scott Turner, who didn’t hold back his feelings about the exit. When a fan posted on social media that they “hate the New York Jets,” Turner responded with a blunt, two-word reply: “Me too.”
That tweet doesn’t just reflect personal frustration-it’s a window into the current dysfunction surrounding the Jets' coaching operation.
Turner, 43, came to Florham Park in 2025 with a solid résumé. A former UNLV quarterback with NFL play-calling experience, he previously served as Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2022 and stepped in as the Raiders’ interim OC in 2024.
In New York, he worked closely with first-year offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand to build out the Jets’ offense. But the results never materialized, and now both the scheme and the staff are being overhauled.
While Engstrand is still with the team, reports suggest he won’t be calling plays in 2026. The Jets are reportedly exploring other options for that role, with former Panthers and Colts head coach Frank Reich among the names being floated. That would be a significant shift in offensive leadership-again-and a clear sign that Glenn is looking to bring in more experience to stabilize the operation.
But here’s the challenge: Glenn is now tasked with replacing a staff he personally assembled just a year ago. That’s not just a tough sell inside the building-it’s a tough look across the league.
After a disastrous season that saw the Jets rank among the worst in NFL history, Glenn is under pressure to show that he can get it right the second time around. The problem?
He’s already burned through his first round of hires, and the league is watching.
For coaches around the NFL-especially rising assistants looking for the right opportunity-New York doesn’t exactly scream “stability.” Glenn enters 2026 looking every bit the lame-duck head coach, and that perception could make it difficult for the Jets to attract top-tier coaching talent. It’s one thing to clean house after a rough year; it’s another to convince people that the rebuild won’t be short-lived if things don’t turn around quickly.
To Glenn’s credit, holding staff accountable after a 2025 season that went off the rails was necessary. But in doing so, he’s also acknowledged that his original choices were misfires across the board. That’s a tough admission, and it leaves him in a precarious spot: needing to upgrade his staff while navigating the optics of a franchise in flux.
And when a former assistant is out on social media echoing fan frustration, it only adds to the perception that things are unraveling in Florham Park.
The Jets now face a critical offseason-not just in terms of roster construction or scheme adjustments, but in rebuilding credibility within their own building. For Glenn, this is more than a second chance. It might be his last.
