If you needed any further evidence that New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is doomed in 2026, his presence at the ongoing NFL Scouting Combined should give you all you need.
At one point during the televised broadcast of the pre-draft event in Indianapolis, cameras panned to Glenn only to find him dozing off. He only seemed to realize that he was caught sleeping in 4K after someone verbally woke him up from off-screen.
It was yet another embarrassing moment for Glenn, who in just 13 months has gone from a team legend in New York City to one of the least respected men to coach a New York football team in decades.
NFL fans around the league and even Jets fans couldn't help but mock the coach:
"I can't stop watching the Aaron Glenn sleeping video We have all been caught at work/school not paying attention and then that adrenaline rush of playing it cool like you were totally locked in. Just a 10/10 video," one Jets fan mocked.
"I'm continuously impressed by what Darren Mougey is doing in New York & continuously disappointed by Aaron Glenn. The Jets are quite the interesting organization at the moment," wrote another.
"Not exactly the first impression you want to make as a new head coach, the Jets can't catch a break," a third wrote.

A rocky start
Glenn went 3-14 in his first year as head coach of the Jets - the worst debut season for a head coach in franchise history (and that's saying something). The team was so bad that it fired its defensive coordinator mid-season and fired its offensive coordinator at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the team has made massive changes to the makeup of the roster, trading three Pro Bowl defenders and leaving the cupboard bare.
The Jets are somehow an even worse team heading into Glenn's second season at the helm than they were when he took over the one that went 5-12 the year before.
It's really not hard to imagine the Jets going 3-14, 2-15, 1-16 or even losing every single game they play in 2026.
