'Changes Should Be Expected': NFL Expert Addresses Future of Jets Coach, QB Justin Fields

Team owner Woody Johnson has publicly expressed frustration with Fields’ performance, stating the quarterback position is a significant issue. However, Johnson has voiced support for Glenn, indicating the coach is not currently on the hot seat. Glenn, in turn, has focused on keeping the team unified amid external criticism and disappointing results on the field.

Insiders suggest changes are inevitable for the franchise, with Fields’ future being a key point of contention. Critics argue the team has failed to fully utilise Fields’ athleticism, particularly in the running game. Meanwhile, Glenn faces the challenge of maintaining locker room morale while evaluating the roster for potential offseason moves.

ESPN’s NFL Analysis Tackles Future of New York Jets Coach Aaron Glen and QB Justin Fields

Fields’ time in New may be nearing its end while Glenn may get to stay longer. This is detailed more in an analysis by Jeremy Fowler for ESPN.

Fowler: Changes should be expected, but I don’t believe that currently applies to coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets did an exhaustive coaching search that landed on Glenn, one of the most sought-after candidates in the 2025 cycle. It hasn’t worked thus far, and he has had his share of miscues. But the Jets have remained competitive despite their struggles at quarterback. Five of their seven losses are by a combined 19 points, and the defense appears to be on the upswing after a slow start. I’m not putting the offensive struggles entirely on Glenn.

On that note, I’m here at the owners meetings and Jets owner Woody Johnson sounds done with the Fields experiment.

The organization is also expected to explore trade options for veteran players to build draft capital ahead of the deadline. With the organisation in a rebuilding phase, the remaining games will be crucial for shaping the team’s strategy moving forward.

As New York prepares for Week 8, the spotlight remains on Glenn and Fields. Their next steps will not only determine the outcome of the season but also define the trajectory of the franchise in the years to come.
