The New York Jets, and therefore the Aaron Glenn era, have gotten off to an 0-3 loss, with their latest defeat coming via a last-second field goal against the Tampa Bay Bucs. After the game, the behavior of Glenn has sparked a debate among Jets fans.
The discussion surrounding New York Jets rookie head coach Aaron Glenn’s energy is two-fold. One branch of the debate centers on his reaction to the team’s blocked field goal to take a 27-26 lead with less than two minutes left in the game.

The second aspect of Glenn’s behavior that has Jets fans arguing among themselves is the positivity he showed after the final whistle as he enthusiastically clapped his players off the field.
I was at the game so this is the first time I’m seeing this clip of Aaron Glenn.
Why is he clapping after the Jets just lost in devastating fashion? Moral victory? Come on. pic.twitter.com/n5h2Qzxm8X

Famed New York City radio curmudgeon Mike Francesca was also critical of Glenn’s positivity following the 29-27 loss, specifically taking issue with his reaction to the field goal block.
Mike Francesa hammers Jets’ coach Aaron Glenn for getting excited on the sideline after an incredible special teams play which put his team ahead.
Then he launched into a bizarre rant about people saying they should go for 2 when they tied the game at 26-26. Huh? Who said that? pic.twitter.com/3CStxcJV8a

The Jets will probably lose this game STRICTLY because of that shot of Aaron Glenn dancing. That’s looming rn as one of the most embarrassing Jets HC moments…

The other side of the argument — beyond simply allowing Glenn to be his own man in the midst of this massive franchise rebuild — is that Jets fans were previously critical of former head coach Robert Saleh not showing *enough* emotion on the sidelines. Unfortunately for Jets fans, they can’t have their cake and eat it too.
“All I heard for 3 years and 5 games was Robert Saleh drove people nuts because of a lack of emotion on the sideline. You can’t now get mad that Aaron Glenn is showing emotion on the sideline,” New York Post Jets beat reporter Brian Costello added.
“It’s wild that the fans who hated Saleh cause he showed no emotion now wanna hate on AG for showing emotion. Team was down by 20 and came all the way back to take the lead and now it’s not ok to be excited and do a little dance,” another Jets fan agreed.
