Despite putting together a roster led by future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, and a mid-season addition of top target Devonte Adams, the Jets had a hard time finding wins, and decided to fire head coach Robert Saleh in mid-November after a 2-3 start.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was elevated to interim head coach in an attempt to salvage their season, but the Jets limped their way to a 5-12 finish to the year.
After interviewing a whopping 16 candidates for the job, the Jets decided to go with a familiar face and one of the best players to ever put on a jersey for the franchise - Aaron Glenn.
