The Jets’ head coaching position becomes less appealing with the Cowboys now searching for a new coach
New York: The NFL coaching scene is buzzing. Just when you think things settle down, they shift again. The Cowboys just let go of Mike McCarthy, joining the Jets and five other teams looking for a new head coach.
Now, the question is whether Aaron Glenn, the Lions’ defensive coordinator, will get another interview from the Cowboys. He’s already been talked to by the Jets, Saints, Raiders, Jaguars, and Bears. And what about Ben Johnson, the Lions’ offensive coordinator? He’s being picky with interviews, but now he might have a new option.
McCarthy, who once interviewed with the Jets before they hired Adam Gase, is also on the Saints’ and Bears’ radar. It’s a bit of a scramble out there, and the competition is heating up.
When you look at the NFL’s six coaching vacancies, the Cowboys rank high in several areas. They have a solid quarterback situation with Dak Prescott and a strong ownership presence, but the pressure to win is intense. The last two coaches were let go despite decent winning records, which shows how high the expectations are.
Meanwhile, the NFC East is wide open. The Commanders are making it a three-team race with the Eagles, and the Cowboys have some big contracts to manage. It’s a tricky balance for whoever steps in next.
On the flip side, the Jets have their own challenges. Even if they decide to rebuild and move on from Aaron Rodgers, they have some promising young talent. But the ownership situation is a bit messy, with Woody Johnson wanting to be involved in football decisions, which could complicate things.
So, with the Cowboys now in the mix, the Jets’ head coaching job looks even less appealing. It’s a wild ride in the NFL coaching carousel, and we’ll see who ends up where.
