We've completed our coaching staff with the addition of former NFL DT La'Roi Glover

The Jets rounded out their coaching staff with the addition of La’Roi Glover as an assistant defensive line coach and reassigined Robby Brown to defensive assistant.

Glover has an impressive résumé as a former defensive tackle. Over his 13-year career, he was selected for six consecutive Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams. Glover led the league in 2000 with 17.0 sacks, the second most in NFL history for a defensive tackle. The California native spent the previous seven years as the director of player engagement for the Rams.

Brown, going into his third year with the Green & White, was the team’s offensive quality control coach the last two seasons.

Former All pro hopefully he help light a fire under the Dline asses..  they haven't really played to there potential since Dunbar left 

He's an assistant DL coach. I agree they are underwhelming, but not really looking for Glover to be the difference maker.

Director of player engagement?   

 

As info Jets DPE is Dave Szott

 

Every NFL Club has a Director of Player Engagement (DPE) whose calling card is their expertise in transition, but no DPE is facing a transition like La’Roi Glover. His Rams are moving lock, stock and barrel back into their former market of Los Angeles after decades in St. Louis, but Southern California is familiar turf for the 13-year NFL veteran defensive tackle, who has served as the team’s DPE for the past six seasons.

“I grew up in San Diego, so I know SoCal well and look forward to the challenges of integrating our team into this market,” the San Diego State University graduate said. “I am especially excited to reconnect our players with the Rams history and alumni here in Los Angeles as we make our mark in this market.”

A market whose familiarity for Glover makes him the perfect person to help spearhead this transcendent transition to ensure all current and former Rams feel right at home.

“We have many well-established resources and programs that have been successful and we look forward to implementing them here as we settle in,” Glover said.

One of those offerings is RamCore, perhaps the signature series in their PE playbook.

“Our RamCore program that includes both rookies and some veterans focuses on character development, leadership, trust and being accountable,” Glover explained. “It includes a half-dozen or so sessions, highlighted by ‘Captain on a Boat’ scenario where we work with players to hand-select five or so individuals to be with them on that boat based on the type of qualities they would want, and conversely what type of people they would not want on that boat with them.”

Glover believes that this unique approach and others in the program have helped promote a positive style and impact on teammates in helping the team identify leadership traits.But that’s not the only unique and popular method employed by Glover and the Rams.

“We also host a Parents Weekend soon after the NFL Draft where we invite them in for the first time their sons are in a Rams uniform at their initial official practices, where the parents become like players to see what a day in the life will be like for a typical workday in the NFL,” Glover said, adding that this program has been hugely successful.

And those are just two of the many resources current and former players can access.

“We also offer our Rookie Success Program where we begin to build trust with the new teammates, which we know takes time,” Glover said.

He also recognizes that some players coming from college may not yet have their degrees.

“We support players wanting to obtain their degree while playing in the NFL by having an online platform which can make it smoother for them to fit their studies into their busy schedule from remote locations,” stated the SDSU double-major in public administration and sociology who also has an MBA. “We find the right fit for guys at any stage of their NFL career who want to get their degree, and reintroduce them to the consistent and repetitive process they are undertaking.”

Additionally, the PE program offers platforms like career development and job shadowing.

“We provide programs addressing specific needs that a particular player may have, and, for example have had players with interests as diverse as engineering and finance do job shadowing at firms in those industries,” Glover said.

Yet these benefits are but a sampling, and there are other available that are tailored to former players.

“Each year, we work in conjunction with our alumni group to handpick a Rams game for former players to attend and reconnect with each other,” noted Glover, who finished his career with the Rams in 2008 after also playing for the Oakland Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and Dallas Cowboys.

“We also have relationships with our former players after they leave the game that typically starts with establishing trust through sharing personal information, which enables us to provide resources in finding good matches for them in their next careers.

“This starts with the recognition that 100 percent of all NFL players will someday exit the game, and we work with them on their wellness both mentally and physically, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, to give them a clean view of their new life and its impact on their family members.”

Additionally, Glover said the team uses former players as mentors to current players, and that he also coordinates with Kyle Eversgerd, the Rams Director of External Football Affairs, in keeping former players connected.”

“It’s a team effort and one where the whole organization works together,” Glover summarized.

Somebody has there eye on this kid 

I was wondering if he was going to be retained based on his Gailey connection.  Has the O background..Could be developing him by giving him experience on the D side of the ball.

 

Last year Jets bio:

Robby Brown returns for his second NFL season and second with the Jets as the team’s quality control–offense coach. In his first NFL season, Brown reunited with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, whom he played for in his two seasons at Georgia Tech, as the Green & White set franchise marks for total offense (5,925), passing offense (4,057) and pass completions (362).

Prior to joining the Jets, Brown coached in the collegiate ranks for 10 seasons, working at South Alabama, Northwestern State, Valdosta State, Henderson State, Southwest Baptist and Troy.

As offensive coordinator for Valdosta State in 2012, Brown helped the team capture the NCAA Division II National Championship while averaging 469 yards and 40 points per game.

Legitimately looks like a little kid who snuck on the field in TC.  My first time out there two seasons ago I figured he was one of the water boys until I saw him giving instructions to the players.  

Thought he'd go when Gailey was gone, but clearly the team likes him.  Good stuff.

Between Kevin Greene and La'Roi Glover, no one is going to be half assing on the defensive front next year

I agree. When you are being taught something by guys who were great,great players, it should definitely make an impact on you. I have to say, I'm impressed by what Bowles has done to his staff. At season end, if he said it once, he said it fifty times, "I have to get better." If replacing half his staff with guys who are all considered "teachers" is the first step, maybe he is growing into this coaching thing. We can only hope.
