Aidan Hutchinson, defensive end for the Detroit Lions, lately shared his thoughts on his former offensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, becoming the current head coach of the New York Jets. On Thursday’s edition of the ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, Hutchinson had some great things to say about Glenn, and remarked that the new Jets coach knew just what to say every time.
Aaron Glenn became the new head coach of the New York Jets after the team fired Robert Saleh in the middle of the 2024 NFL season, along with general manager Joe Douglas. This new job is the first head coach post for Glenn, who started off his coaching career as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Cleveland Browns.
“I feel like he knew what to say at the right time every time. Every message whether it was a win or whether it was a loss, he was on point, Hutchinson continued about Glenn. Every time he said something, it was right, so him being a head coach, I think he’s going to be a really good head coach.” Aidan Hutchinson said on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’.
Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit Lions finished at the top of the NFC North with 15 wins and two defeats in the 2024 NFL season. The Lions were officially kicked out as contenders for the Super Bowl after losing to the Washington Commanders with a final score of 45-31. In the same season, Hutchinson managed 12 solo tackles with 7.5 sacks before a tibia and fibular fracture cut short his year.
Aidan Hutchinson Discusses Season-Ending Injury And Rehab
On the other hand, Aidan Hutchinson’s rehab seems to be going well and will be nearing its end after the defensive end for the Detroit Lions fractured his tibia and fibula during a game against the Dallas Cowboys in October 2024. Apparently, Hutchinson was dead-set on returning from rehab in time for the Super Bowl to play for his team, if they made it in the first place.
Hutchinson discussed the topic in the same episode of ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, and went on to comment that rehab was definitely the “worst”. This is not the first serious injury for the 24-year-old defensive end. In fact, when he was playing college football for the Michigan Wolverines, Hutchinson fractured his ankle.
However, in comparison, the tibia fracture was worse according to Hutchinson. The defensive end also seemed positive about his future in the game, mentioning that he was still young and had plenty of “good football left”.
