The New York Jets are hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glennas their new head coach, according to Jets Wire . This news could have multiple implications for the Denver Broncos .
The first and perhaps most notable implication is that Denver defensive coordinator Vance Josephdid not get the New York job. Joseph had interviewed for the Jets' head coach opening earlier this month . Joseph seemingly still remains a HC candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders .

The fallout might not stop with Joseph. Glenn wants to hire Broncos assistant special teams coach Chris Banjo as New York's new special teams coordinator, according to a report from Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports . Glenn served as a defensive backs coach with the New Orleans Saints from 2016-2020, overlapping with Banjo's stint as a safety in New Orleans (2016-2018).
The Jets have not yet officially requested permission from Denver to interview Banjo, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis , but they likely will soon. The Broncos have already allowed Banjo to interview with the San Francisco 49ers and they are unlikely to block a New York interview.
Denver, of course, could consider Banjo for its own special teams coach opening after firing Ben Kotwica last week. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported that the Broncos viewed Darren Rizzias their top replacement target when they fired Kotwica, but there will be competition for Rizzi. Stay tuned.
