The New York Jets have fallen to 2-5 after losing 28-25 to the Miami Dolphins. Coach Aaron Glenn has a 5-19 record in his 24 games with the team. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich could take over on an interim basis if Glenn is fired. An analyst has ranked seven possible long-term replacements, including Rams offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase and Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
The New York Jets lost 28-25 at home to the winless Miami Dolphins, a result that has raised questions about head coach Aaron Glenn's future. The Jets had been competitive early in the season, but the defence looked unprepared against a Dolphins offence missing De'Von Achane. Critics point to Glenn's record in late-half situations and his 0-8 mark against AFC East opponents.
The Indianapolis Colts have fired general manager Chris Ballard, ending a 10-year tenure, a day after a 26-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The result came as the team struggled, with quarterback Daniel Jones producing four touchdowns and six interceptions this season. Team co-owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon said in a statement that a change in leadership was necessary to meet the team's goal of competing for championships. Head coach Shane Steichen is now seen as vulnerable, with his job status also under scrutiny after the team's recent results.
