It’s safe to say that many doubt the New York Jets’ current direction after firing general manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets were supposed to be a Super Bowl contender when Aaron Rodgers arrived. Of course, a torn Achilles threw a wrench into their plans in season one, but there were no excuses in 2024 when the Jets finished with a 5-12 record.
Their struggles have led to a full-blown organizational reset from the top down. Now, they could be getting closer to hiring a head coach, and there’s one candidate several of their players are reportedly enamored with.
One New York Jets coaching candidate who’s set to have a virtual interview later this week is Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. He’s coming off leading the defense that had the NFL’s most takeaways while allowing the fifth-fewest points in the NFL.
