New Jets coach Aaron Glenn will stand in entrance of his workforce on Monday because the Jets start their offseason program.
The NFL permits groups with new coaches to begin two weeks earlier than the opposite groups and the Jets program begins Monday in Florham Park.
It’s voluntary but it surely needs to be effectively attended as gamers start attending to know Glenn and the brand new teaching employees.
The Jets will then have a voluntary minicamp in two weeks.
For Glenn, this early a part of spring is about beginning to change the tradition contained in the Jets.
“To me, it’s a course of and I’ve talked to our employees about this,” Glenn stated. “I’m not right here to speak concerning the playoffs. I’m not right here to speak concerning the Tremendous Bowl when the gamers first get in. To me, it’s the method of truly making it that time. The 2 issues I need to ensure that we do before everything is set up the tradition that we’ve been speaking about and attempt to create a constructing atmosphere.”
Glenn was employed by the Jets as a result of they have been impressed by his management qualities.
Not like another coaches who have been employed as a result of they could have an important offensive scheme or know a ton about Xs and Os, it feels just like the Jets need Glenn to be a frontrunner, before everything.
The Jets have a 14-year playoff drought, the longest in North American sports activities.
They’ve had 9 straight dropping seasons and 5 straight double-digit loss seasons.
Jets proprietor Woody Johnson is satisfied that Glenn, a former first-round choose of the workforce, is the person to show issues round.
Jets followers will hear loads about tradition within the coming months.
“Tradition’s about individuals,” Glenn stated final week. “As we proceed to get the correct individuals within the constructing, the tradition’s going to alter. That’s one thing I realized a very long time in the past. Me sitting up there giving a rah-rah speech that has nothing to do with tradition. Tradition is concerning the people who we convey within the constructing. I’m not simply speaking about gamers. I’m speaking about coaches, too. I’m speaking about help employees, too. We’re making an attempt to do a very good job of bringing the correct individuals within the constructing and as we try this the tradition will finally change.”
Along with the tradition change, Glenn needs his gamers to give attention to bettering their energy and pace in section one of many offseason program when there aren’t any on-field exercises.
The whole lot is restricted to conferences and energy and conditioning. On-field soccer actions start in two weeks.
“Perceive what section one is basically about,” Glenn stated. “We’re making an attempt to get greater, sooner, stronger, extra explosive. That’s the one factor I need the gamers worrying about at that time. We’ve got quite a lot of time for scheme. We’ve got quite a lot of time to speak about Tremendous Bowls and playoffs, however proper now constructing a tradition and constructing an atmosphere in that constructing is a very powerful factor proper now to me.”
The Jets will look youthful than they did in 2024 after they collect.
The workforce put an emphasis on signing youthful gamers in free company. Josh Reynolds was their solely signee who was no less than 30 years previous. Most are between 24-27 years previous.
“It’s a younger man’s sport,” Glenn stated. “I used to be all the time taught which you can’t be afraid of the younger participant. I feel what you’re in a position to, you’re in a position to mould these guys into who you need them to be and what kind of workforce you need to be. I feel me and [GM Darren Mougey] did a very good job making an attempt to create that.”
