The New York Jets are already focused on 2025. The potential return of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers is going to have New York at least hear who he would want as a head coach. Nonetheless, New York will go through a throughout process.
That includes one former Super Bowl Champion and head coach.
Jets To Officially Interview Super Bowl Champion Head And Coach (Report)
It is expected that the New York Jets will interview two accomplished head coaching candidates, including a familiar face:
Former Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday on ESPN New York radio that he expects to interview for the team’s head coaching job. Besides Ryan, the team is also expected to interview Ron Rivera, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Jets will be hiring a new coach and new general manager after firing Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas, respectively. The team has one game left in a disappointing season that began with hopes of ending the franchise’s 14-year postseason drought behind Aaron Rodgers but has resulted in just four wins. The Jets were 2-3 after firing Saleh and have gone 2-11 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.
The team’s latest loss came Sunday, a 40-14 drubbing at the Buffalo Bills during which the Jets were penalized 16 times, including five personal fouls, the most accepted penalties for the Jets since 2018.
When asked on Monday whether he expects to interview for the team’s coaching vacancy, Ryan, who is currently an ESPN analyst, replied, “I believe I will.”
Ryan added that he has not had any conversations with the team but he expects the process will begin after the regular season ends.
“We’ll see what happens once the season’s over,” he said.
Here is a look at Rex Ryan’s coaching career:
