The New York Jets are going to do whatever it takes to put together an attractive coaching staff this off-season. In doing so, four-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers may return for a third season with the gang green.
As it turns out, one NFL head coach with over 100 wins is on their list of interviewees.
Jets Officially Schedule Interview With Over 100 Career NFL Wins (Report)
There will be two head coach interviews by the New York Jets, including one from the franchise’s recent history:
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.
Rivera, 62, has a 102-103-2 record in 13 seasons as a head coach, most recently with the Washington Commanders. He was fired by Washington following last season, after going 26-40-1 in four seasons. Before that, he coached the Carolina Panthers for nine seasons, going 76-63-1 and leading the franchise to a Super Bowl appearance in 2015.
NFL Network first reported that Rivera was expected to interview for the Jets’ coaching vacancy.
Here is a look at Ron Rivera’s coaching record:
