Jets optimistic they’ll land Aaron Glenn, Lance Newmark as head coach, GM
NY Post
The Jets spent Tuesday huddling with their top choices for their head coach and general manager openings but still had not closed a deal with them as of Tuesday night.
Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark had second interviews with the Jets.
Both interviews were done in-person in Florham Park after their first interviews were done virtually.
Both men left the Jets headquarters on Tuesday evening, but there remained optimism that a deal would be struck to make Glenn the next head coach and Newmark the next GM.
The Jets do not have any other second interviews scheduled and these were the first candidates asked back.
Glenn could be in demand.
In a different time, in a season to come, we may be inclined to wax poetic about the way this one played out. In a different time, in a season to come, the Nets will be seeking to stack wins and not losses, will be fighting for playoff seeding and not for a few extra ping-pong balls in the draft lottery this spring.
The NBA has an All-Star Game problem. Despite Adam Silver’s efforts to inject juice into the February showcase — including a format alteration to the 2025 game that is too confusing to attempt to understand before it’s inevitably changed again — there’s little interest in watching teams eschew defense for a series of layup line highlights. That also means the most entertaining part of the NBA All-Star Game is just like the Pro Bowl — debating over who should get a spot.
