New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn isn’t just trying to turn around the team’s record—he’s also adding something a little unexpected to the playbook: Bible study.
The move was revealed by safety Jarius Monroe, who shared a photo on his Instagram story showing a worksheet from one of their sessions. The sheet included verses from 1 Timothy and a five-question quiz. So yeah, it’s not just a quick devotional—it’s homework.
Glenn, who was hired in January after a solid run as defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, is known for being vocal about his faith and leadership style. And while there’s no official word on whether these Bible studies are required, it’s clear he’s trying to bring more than just X’s and O’s to the locker room.
But not everyone is cheering the decision. After the Bible study post started making the rounds, social media lit up with a mix of praise, questions and backlash. Some fans applauded the spiritual focus. Others called it out as inappropriate in a professional sports setting.
Here’s a look at what people are saying:
No way this is real . Bless his heart if it is

Good for him! The NFL definitely need more coaches like him!
Coach Glenn, never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

i’m usually for keeping religion and work completely separate, but i actually think the jets need Jesus Christ himself to help fix them https://t.co/I9Aj6Zd5Az
