"We're not the same team as, like everyone says, [the] 'same old Jets.' These guys are going to fight no matter what the situation is. There's no give-up to them."
"I hate that term, and I really don't know what that term means, but I know this: They're not the 'same old Jets.' All right?"
Aaron Glenn begins his head-coaching tenure 0-3 but rejects comparisons to past Jets teams, emphasizing toughness and refusal to quit. He pointed to a fourth-quarter comeback in a 29-27 loss at Tampa Bay as evidence of the team's resolve. Glenn played cornerback for the Jets from 1994 to 2001 and pursued the job to reverse long-term underperformance and change the losing culture. The franchise endures nine straight losing seasons and a 14-year playoff drought, the longest active streak in the NFL. Glenn came very close to his first victory and remains defiant about the team's trajectory.
