The Jets hired Aaron Glenn in large part because of his leadership skills, but no head coach can succeed without a corps of respected leaders in the locker room.
A year ago under Robert Saleh, the players voted for four captains: Aaron Rodgers, C.J. Mosley, Quinnen Williams and Thomas Morstead. Only Williams remains.
That means 46 years of NFL experience left the building.
Bill Parcells — Glenn’s mentor — decided to not have any captains when he inherited a 1-15 team in 1997 from Rich Kotite, and who could blame him?
