The Texas A&M Aggies now have two alumni who are now current NFL head coaches. Despite leaving Detroit Lions, where he served as the defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn is the second Aggie alumni to be an NFL coach.

"I'm excited to welcome Aaron Glenn home as the head coach of the New York Jets," said Jets Chairman Robert Wood Johnson. "Aaron earned this opportunity through almost three decades of NFL experience – ten with us as a player and a scout.

He becomes the fifth NFL head coach to have a playing history with his current team, after Mike Vrabel (New England Patriots), Jim Harbaugh (Los Angeles Chargers), DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans) and Dan Campbell, his most recent boss in Detroit.
