There's already been a lot of discussion about who the Jets should hire as their next head coach, and the discussion is about to accelerate once the final two games of the 2024 season are over.
There will be a debate about whether to hire an offensive coach or someone who is already a head coach. The term “human leader” will be thrown around even though no one knows what exactly it means.
However, while all eyes are on who will be in charge, there is a very important element to this hiring that is often overlooked. It's about who you bring in.
One of the big issues for the Jets' head coach is the coaching staff they've hired for them. When coaches are hired, too often they rely on friends and familiar faces to fill out their staffs. That leads to mistakes, and those mistakes are not easy to correct. Sometimes, after a year or two of being a head coach, you realize that the coach you hired wasn't all that great. In that case, it's because it's hard to find a good coach to join the staff who might be coaching for that year's job. 3 is difficult.
