Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden are also both under consideration for roles on Glenn’s staff, according to sources.

Two names at the top of the list remain former New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Nick Caley. Both men are going to be considered for the top job with two different ways of thinking for the future of the organization.

Whenever a defensive-minded head coach is hired, the immediate follow-up question is who his offensive coordinator will be. That's a question the New York Jets will have to answer after hiring Aaron Glenn as their next head coach.
