New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn gives abrupt response to Aaron Rodgers attack after Pat McAfee interview

Aaron Glenn has finally had his chance to respond to the attack from Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show – and his words seem to show just how glad he is to move on from the quarterback.

Rodgers broke cover last week by appearing on the ESPN show and slammed Glenn for making him fly from California to New Jersey only to be told by the New York Jets head coach that he isn’t wanted.

At a press conference on Friday about the team’s pick from the first round of the NFL Draft in Armand Membou, Glenn was asked about the Rodgers outburst and if he had a response.

‘Absolutely,’ Glenn said. ‘Membou’s a really good player and I am so excited that he’s a Jet.’

Rodgers teed off on Glenn for how he handled his departure from the Jets after two years with the franchise. 

‘I figured that when I flew across country to my dime there would be a conversation (over his future),’ Rodgers said. ‘The confusing thing to me is I went out there, I meet with the coach, we start talking… he runs out of the room. I’m like ‘that’s strange’.

‘Then he comes back with the GM and I’m like all right. So we sit down and I think we’re going to have this long conversation and 20 seconds in and he (Glenn) goes: ‘You sure you wanna play football?’ And I said ‘yes’ and he said ‘we’re going in another direction at quarterback’.

‘I was shocked because.. I flew halfway across the country and you could have told me this on the phone. They said “we just want to know how you want it released”.
