FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets owner Woody Johnson knows that if he wants his team to end the longest active playoff drought in sports, he'll have to change how he's handled things in the past. That reality became clear during the introductions of head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.
The Detroit Lions have found their Ben Johnson replacement, as the team hired a former Denver Broncos coach as offensive coordinator.
Darren Mougey replaces Joe Douglas, who was fired as GM late in the 2024 season after failing to make the playoffs over a six-year tenure.
Mougey, 39, is the third-youngest GM in the NFL and joins the Jets after serving as the Broncos assistant GM since 2022. He has been with the Broncos since 2012, rising from scouting intern to assistant GM.
Denver defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is the 10th known candidate to interview for the head coaching gig made vacant after Jets owner Woody Johnson fired Robert Saleh in October.
Mougey, alongside head coach Aaron Glenn, was introduced at One Jets Drive on Monday during their introductory press conference. Glenn is a known commodity in New York as a former Jets player. Mougey is more of a new face. Plenty was learned about Mougey during his presser and he touched on numerous Jets-related topics at the event.
Morton worked for Campbell in 2022 with the Lions and helped the Broncos offense improve the past two years under Payton.
