Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden are also both under consideration for roles on Glenn’s staff, according to sources.

“And there is word out there, there’s been leaks I’ve heard that whatever they pay Aaron Glenn, (he’s) made it known that he would like to keep Aaron Rodgers,” Kay said on his radio show Tuesday, a day before the Glenn hiring became official.

The New York Jets confirmed the weeks-long rumors and reports. Aaron Glenn is their next head coach. Glenn, 52, leaves his post as the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions to take the helm with Gang Green. He was long a fan favorite after he was the team’s first-round pick in 1994 and spent the bulk of his career with the Jets.
