The Pittsburgh Steelers open their 2025 campaign Sunday, facing off with the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. A matchup that will offer the Steelers unique looks at a Jets’ squad installing not only a new offense centered around ex-Steelers quarterback Justin Fields, but a new head coach in Aaron Glenn. A first-time head coach, he takes over after a successful tenure as Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator. His first matchup comes against the NFL’s longest active coach in Mike Tomlin. A man Glenn holds in high esteem.
“He’s a man who I think every coach looks at and says, ‘Man, I wish my career could be that,'” Glenn said via the Jets’ YouTube channel in a Saturday video.
