Aaron Glenn ready for the challenge of being Jets head coach: "This is something that I've been waiting on for a long time"

Aaron Glenn woke up at 3:30 on the morning of his first training camp practice as the New York Jets ' head coach and couldn't fall back asleep.

A text message sent from his wife an hour earlier had a familiar message: "Just be A.G."

"And that's who I'm going to be," a smiling Glenn said after a light practice Wednesday. "Right, wrong or indifferent, nothing's going to change about how I operate, nothing's going to change about the way that I think.

"But, man, I was excited."

And he has been wide awake since.
