But again, there’s been evidence of us playing really good defense throughout this season and listen, I will never say never to anything, but I do know this: I’m looking at everything and I’m looking of ways of us to improve, and whatever that is for us to get better, you can best believe I’ll make those changes. And I think I’ve done that throughout my career to be able to do that is I’m not afraid to make a change. I’m not saying that is going to be the change, but I’m looking at everything,” Glenn explained.After leaving the door open for the change on Monday, Glenn was asked directly on Friday, November 13, if he will call the defense against the Bills this week.“(laughs). You’ll see. Come on, you know I’m not going to give you an answer to any of those. Whatever we can do to go win games, that’s what we plan on doing and that’s not to say I’m giving up playcalling. It’s just, I look at all options. You guys have heard me say this before, I’ll never say never to anything. If we have an opportunity to win a game and I can look at and dig deep into it and there’s an opportunity, you might see me out there on the field if I can help. Whatever it is to help,” Glenn responded.Things Are Going DownhillWhen Glenn was hired as the head coach, he explained that one of his gifts was the ability to put together a coaching staff. He hired veteran Steve Wilks to run the defense. It was an epic disaster, and Wilks was fired before the 2025 season was over.This past offseason, Glenn chose to call defensive plays himself and called it his “superpower.”The numbers speak for themselves; things haven’t gone well.The Jets have the 7th-worst run defense in the league (128.0 rushing yards per game), and they’re last in the league in interceptions (one), per ESPN.“The spiraling defense has allowed 32 points per game over the team’s current four-game losing streak,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini revealed.The Beginning of the EndWe won’t know whether Glenn actually made a play-caller change until Sunday against the Bills. Glenn doesn’t want to give away a competitive advantage.“Most people think that he will continue in that role, but if they get blown out by the Bills on Sunday, it might not be a bad idea to hand off the job,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini said.At this point, it feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Tit
