Woody Johnson is counting on Aaron Glenn to change his legacy

Every day he stands before reporters, Aaron Glenn — even at 5-foot-9 — stands tall and exudes the confidence of a head coach who’s manning a 9-2 team, not the 2-9 group he’s actually coaching.

There’s a reason for that. Glenn, who was hired in the offseason carrying a plan to change the culture and direction of the team that drafted him as a player, is on scholarship right now. He’s in a place where the results don’t matter. For now.

Glenn has the implicit trust of team owner Woody Johnson, the man who hired him. And that has given him the latitude to put his program in place and attempt to execute it his way and on his time.

But Johnson is desperate to see his team win. It’s been too long. Sunday’s loss in Baltimore clinched a 10th consecutive losing season for the Jets. That’s emotionally and mentally taxing on even the most patient among us.
