Jets to use The 33rd Team, Rick Spielman for HC and GM search

The New York Jets are sorting through their issues during the 2024 season. Even with Aaron Rodgers behind center, New York is having another down year and the franchise fired Robert Salah early on.

After Joe Douglas’s firing, the Jets are searching for a new head coach and general manager.

New York is retaining The 33rd Team to help the Jets find new leaders. Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum and Vikings general manager Rick Spielman will lead the project for the NFL Technology and Media company. The 33rd Team will use its data analysis and experience to assist the Jets in their search for new leadership.

As Viking fans remember, Spielman was the General Manager from 2012 to 2021. During his tenure, the Vikings won four NFC North titles and made the playoffs six times. Spielman helped Minnesota draft Adrian Peterson and current wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Mike Zimmer coached the Vikings under Spielman.
