Jets Hire Broncos Coach Chris Banjo
Chris Banjo is set to leave the Broncos to become the Jets’ ST coordinator. Meanwhile, Darren Rizzi might be in line to get Denver’s ST job.
Sean Payton reacted to the hiring of his former New Orleans Saints assistant Aaron Glenn as head coach of the New York Jets:
Aaron Glenn played under Sean Payton with the Saints and later returned to New Orleans as a coach. He’s now the head coach in New York.
Denver still hasn't filled its special teams coordinator role after moving on from Ben Kotwica after its wild-card loss in Buffalo.
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn give his first answer on the future of QB Aaron Rodgers with the team moving forward.
The team has already lost John Morton (passing game coordinator to the New York Jets) and Declan Doyle (tight ends coach to the Chicago Bears) but now, the team's assistant special teams coach, Chris Banjo, has also accepted a new position.
The hiring cycle has been a long process for the Jets after firing head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas during the season. New York interviewed over 30 candidates in total between their two big openings before finally settling on Mougey and Aaron Glenn.
The New York Jets have a new general manager to go with their new head coach. The Jets are hiring Denver Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey as their new general manager, according to multiple reports. Mougey has scouted and worked on the front office for Denver since 2012.
Woody Johnson confirmed earlier this week the Jets are adjusting their power structure. Both Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey will report to ownership, signaling a shift from the Joe Douglas-Robert Saleh regime — in which only the GM did so.
So it should come as no surprise that with the Broncos’ success, other teams have taken notice. Saturday afternoon, the New York Jets agreed in principle to make Darren Mougey their new general manager, a source confirmed to The Post.
For the next spin on the coaching carousel, we take a look at New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi: Rizzi has never been a head coach in the NFL and his only experience as a head coach was one season with the University of Rhode Island in 2008. His team wasn’t very good as the Rams finished 3-9 and a 1-7 conference record.
