The New York Jets are beginning their head coaching search in earnest this week after a painful 2024 season came to a merciful end on Sunday. And no time was wasted before the organization surprised the general public.
On Monday it was quickly reported that the Jets would not submit a request to interview Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Johnson is arguably the top candidate in this offseason's head coaching search after scheming the Lions' league-best offense to another stellar season. It was expected that every single team with an opening at head coach would at least request to interview the up-and-coming play-caller, even if he has earned a reputation for being quite selective with those interviews.
