Keyshawn Johnson’s bet on Aaron Glenn’s head coaching start comes with some serious skin in the game.
The ex-NFL wideout addressed his former Jets teammate’s hiring Thursday on FS1’s “Speak,” saying he expects massive changes coming with one of the franchises biggest stars among them.
“He will not start off his career — now I said this first, nobody else is saying this — he will not start off his career with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback in September,” Johnson said, before laying it all on the line.
“If he does, then I’m walking from Calabasas at 4 a.m. in the morning, to the studio, with nothing on but boxers. So I’m saying this with a lot of confidence. … I’m just letting you know, he ain’t going to start his career with that mess. It’s not going to happen. He’s not going to allow somebody to tell him what he’s doing as a coach.”
Glenn returns to Gang Green as a first-time head coach after an exhaustive search led the franchise to its former cornerback.
That solved one of the myriad problems facing to team in a critical offseason, with a new general manager still on the checklist — and the status of Rodgers, with the longtime QB openly pontificating his future after a train wreck of a 2024 season.
Johnson, however, believes Glenn’s mind is made up on that matter.
“I don’t know who they’re going into the season with but they ain’t going into the season with No. 8,” he said.
Johnson’s message to Jets fans with Glenn coming aboard earlier this week was equally as straightforward.
“I would say to them, you got a good one. Don’t f–k it up. You got a good one. You really got a good one,” he told The Post’s Steve Serby.
“Don’t be in a rush to win a Super Bowl tomorrow. The Detroit Lions built their program to where they are. Buffalo built their program to where they are. It doesn’t happen overnight.”
