Harrison Phillips: Aaron Glenn inherited a "cancerous" situation with Jets

Our Summary

Aaron Glenn's first season as the head coach of the New York Jets ended with a disappointing 3-14 record. Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who joined the team in an August trade, attributed the poor performance to the challenging culture Glenn inherited rather than his coaching abilities. Phillips emphasized the importance of team culture over talent and described the Jets as a "cancerous, truculent group" from top to bottom. He noted that the franchise has grown accustomed to losing, a mindset he believes is detrimental. Despite the difficulties, Phillips praised Glenn's consistency and expressed optimism for 2026, citing offseason coaching staff changes as potential catalysts for a positive shift in the team's direction.
