2. New York Jets
The Jets drafted Glenn, and he spent his first eight seasons as a player there. The enlisting of former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum to help with their searches or new football leadership, as part of his work with The 33rd Team, bolstered their inevitable pursuit of Glenn in their head coaching search.
The Jets have to figure out their quarterback situation (what else is new?), as Aaron Rodgers either retires this offseason or plays elsewhere next season. But whoever the quarterback is will have some good young pieces around him (Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson), and the core of a good defense is in place.
There are red flags with the Jets too, primarily owner Woody Johnson and the organizational dysfunction he has reigned over. Not having a ton of cap space right now is also less than ideal, but eight draft picks this year with a top-10 pick is not too bad. The general manager hire here could come in quick tandem with the head coaching hire.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars did a half-measure (at least for now) to appeal to Johnson before their round of initial head coaching interviews. Aside from not firing general manager Trent Baalke (yet), there is a lot of appeal to the situation in Jacksonville-a young quarterback who would benefit from finally having a credible head coach (regardless of what side of the ball their background is on), some talent already in place, a solid amount of draft capital this year and a solid amount of cap space right now.
If the Jaguars miss out on Johnson, Glenn would be a very nice fallback option and he (per Jones' aforementioned report) impressed them in a first interview. The personnel needs upgrades and better-fitting players in some key areas, but Glenn could lead a quick resurgence in Jacksonville like Dan Quinn has in Washington.
