4 days agoAaron Glenn says QB Geno Smith will lead Jets to 'promised land'
Geno Smith is viewed by Coach Aaron Glenn as a leader capable of guiding the Jets despite a challenging previous season.
Reich was hired Wednesday by Glenn as the Jets' offensive coordinator 30 years after they played together on New York's 1-15 team. The former NFL and Stanford head coach replaces Tanner Engstrand, who agreed to part ways with the team last week after one year running the Jets' offense during a 3-14 season. Amid a major coaching staff shakeup this offseason, the 64-year-old Reich gives Glenn an experienced play caller and veteran presence on the offensive side of the ball.
"I remember talking to Ronnie Lott, and I think we had a couple of D-linemen that were down on a knee because we thought [the spike] was about to happen, and it just so happened that I saw something that just wasn't right," Glenn said. "I remember trying to run out there to go cover [Ingram] to try and defend the play. "Listen, they did a really good job of getting us on that play, you know?"
