Quick Summary

Aaron Glenn, the head coach of the New York Jets who previously served as their top cornerback, has decided to resume his role in calling defensive plays on game day after initially delegating this responsibility. This change comes following last season’s poor performance where the team ranked poorly defensively and finished with a 3-14 record under Glenn's leadership. The article suggests that Glenn believes reclaiming play-calling will help him leverage his expertise more effectively to improve the Jets' defense.

Story summary

Aaron Glenn, who has worked tirelessly to become the head coach of the New York Jets since his playing days, finally achieved that goal after being drafted by the team. However, once he became head coach, Glenn decided to delegate defensive play-calling duties rather than doing it himself. This decision did not yield positive results; the Jets' defense ranked 31st in points allowed and 29th in total yards allowed, leading to a dismal 3-14 record during Glenn's first season. The team subsequently hired Steve Wilks as defensive coordinator, though Glenn now seems to be rediscovering his former expertise with renewed enthusiasm.

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.
