Quick Summary

Jets fans are calling for head coach Aaron Glenn's dismissal due to the team’s poor performance this season, including a recent loss to the Dolphins. However, columnist Brian Costello argues that firing Glenn mid-season would likely lead to more chaos rather than improvement, citing the precedent set when Robert Saleh was fired and replaced by Jeff Ulbrich last year without positive results. The Jets currently have a 2-5 record and seem unlikely to make the playoffs for the 16th consecutive season or achieve a winning record in their 11th straight year.

Story summary

As of October 27, 2026, the New York Jets are facing significant pressure from fans due to their poor performance this season. The team suffered a humiliating loss at home against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, adding to fan frustrations. Despite calls for head coach Aaron Glenn's immediate dismissal, columnist Mark Cannizzaro argues that firing Glenn mid-season would likely exacerbate rather than improve the situation, citing previous instances where such actions led only to more chaos and fewer wins. The Jets currently have a 2-5 record after seven games and are on track for their 16th consecutive season without playoff appearances and their 11th year without a winning record. Jets owner Woody Johnson is reminded of the negative outcomes from similar mid-season coaching changes in 2024, when Robert Saleh was fired and replaced by Jeff Ulbrich.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
