Story summary

The New York Post's Brian Costello questions whether Aaron Glenn has established a clear identity for the New York Jets since becoming head coach in 2022. With only flashes of the team’s defensive physicality and offensive commitment to running, there is no consistent performance under Glenn after 21 games. The current season serves as a critical referendum on whether Glenn should continue as head coach through 2027 when the Jets aim to become contenders. Costello notes that with 13 games left, Glenn has an opportunity to shift opinions about his leadership and team identity.
