New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made waves during his introductory press conference, and it had nothing to do with his coaching philosophy or vision for the team.
Instead, Glenn raised eyebrows when he appeared to borrow a rallying cry from Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
As seen in a video posted on social media, Glenn emphasized the importance of “biting kneecaps” – a phrase popularized by Campbell during his own intro presser with the Lions.
Glenn’s use of the phrase sparked a mix of amusement and criticism on social media, with some accusing him of lacking originality.
However, others defended Glenn, arguing that the phrase has become a symbol of toughness and resilience in the NFL.
Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, it’s clear that Glenn is looking to make a statement in New York.
