Aaron Glenn, the new head coach of the New York Jets, expressed strong emotions during practice, feeling grateful for the opportunity to lead his former team. It was the first time since his hiring that he was deeply affected, particularly by the fans' chants of 'J-E-T-S'. Glenn's background includes being a former player and scout for the Jets, and he aims to change the franchise's culture and end its long playoff drought by focusing on fundamentals and competition.
"I'm sure this is going to hit at some point, but I told the players this: The first time since I became head coach, today was the first day it really hit me."
"It hit me once I heard the fans give the 'J-E-T-S' chant. And I don't know why, but it just hit me."
"Man, I am so thankful. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me my second shot at becoming a coach."
"He has talked several times... about changing the culture around the Jets and building them into a consistent winner by stressing fundamentals and competition."
