Jets' Harrison Phillips Says Aaron Glenn Inherited 'Cancerous, Truculent Group' in First Season
Jets endured 10 straight losing seasons and 15 years out of playoffs, creating a culture Aaron Glenn must overhaul beyond one season, says defensive lineman Harrison Phillips.
- Thursday, Harrison Phillips told Roundtable Sports, 'I think AG inherited a very cancerous, truculent group-- whole, top to bottom', criticizing the New York Jets' losing mentality under first-year coach Aaron Glenn.
- Jets have endured 10 straight losing seasons and 15 consecutive years out of the playoffs, suffering seven- and five-game losing streaks while Glenn inherited about 25 players from the prior staff.
- Phillips clarified to the New York Post that he wasn't criticizing individuals but the 'Same Old Jets' mindset, describing how a losing atmosphere distracts players during one season with the Jets after an August trade from the Minnesota Vikings.
- Glenn responded with staff changes by firing eight other assistants, then hired Frank Reich and Brian Duker after waiting three weeks following the season.
- Looking toward 2026, Phillips said the problems are a 'long chain' and 'can't be fixed like that,' but expects Glenn to continue his roster overhaul.
