Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.

Aaron Glenn is a head coach now, for real. He had to make a couple of choices that didn’t go well. He had to listen to a quarterback he chose not to work with not only have the last laugh, but have the last word. He had to be the gracious one walking across the field after the Steelers outlasted Glenn’s Jets 34-32 at MetLife Stadium Sunday, extending a vanquished hand to Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin.

And he has yet to crack the left side of the hyphen. He is 0-1.

Yet in defeat, Glenn actually may have provided the most glaring example that he really is putting into place the kind of atmosphere — OK, call it culture — that all first-time coaches seek to implant. It took 11 words — the first 11 words he would ever utter to the media during his first real day on the job.

“It was an exciting game,” Glenn said, “but I’m not into moral victories.”
