Last week we asked Jets fans in our SB Nation Reacts survey whether the new coaching hires the Jets made early in the offseason have increased their confidence level in the team.
Aaron Glenn made a striking number of changes to his staff at the end of his first season as Jets head coach. Over half of the coaches from his initial staff were replaced. These changes were not at the fringes either. The Jets parted ways with both their offensive and defensive coordinator along with their passing game coordinator.
Key position coaches such as the quarterbacks coach and defensive line coach were also replaced.
It seems like the new staff will get some sort of honeymoon period. The majority of fans who voted in our poll say the new hires increased their confidence in the team heading into 2026.
I think it’s fair to say that upgrading the talent level on the roster will be a more critical task for the Jets this offseason than changing the coaching staff. If the Jets don’t get better players in here, no coaching staff will be able to have much success.
