The New York Jets became the first team to fire their coach this season, as Woody Johnson handed Robert Saleh his walking papers following a 2-3 start. That move in itself was not enough to spark the Jets, as they have since gone 1-5, while general manager Joe Douglas was also fired.

In fact, NFL players ranked Glenn as the top defensive coordinator in the league last year.
