Report: Jets Eye Bobby Slowik, Arthur Smith, Joe Brady, Vance Joseph, Matt Nagy as HC

The New York Jets' coaching search is kicking into gear after the regular season wrapped up.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the Jets have requested to interview Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, while NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported they've done the same with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier they're expected to speak with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and requested an interview with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Schefter also reported the Jets requested an interview with San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach Brian Griese.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler included Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in the mix, while Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz reported the Jets also requested an interview with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Per Schefter, New York also requested to meet with Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown.

One notable candidate will be missing during New York's search, with Russini reported Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson isn't in the conversation:

In addition to a new head coach, the Jets are searching for their next GM and have gotten that process underway.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reported Sunday that New York is "not locked into the traditional approach of hiring a GM before the coach." Ownership could determine that letting the head coach exert more authority over personnel matters is a nice carrot for any prospective targets.

Regardless of whether the coach comes before the GM, the permanent replacement for Robert Saleh will inherit a roster in major flux.

The future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been a storyline throughout the season. New York's 5-12 record, Rodgers' age (41), and the general drama that has surrounded his tenure seemingly point toward a separation.

Team owner Woody Johnson told the New York Post's Brian Costello the final decision on any quarterback will be the coach and general manager's to make.

"From a numbers standpoint, he did OK, except for the most important number—winning games," he said in reference to Rodgers. "But that's going to be up to the coach. The coach will have to decide what the quarterback situation is. That's going to be a very important job for the general manager and the coach — what do we want and when do we get it and what's our timeline. Where does Aaron Rodgers fit into that?"

The fate of wide receiver Davante Adams could be tied to that of Rodgers since keeping the six-time Pro Bowler makes less sense if Rodgers doesn't return. The Jets could save $30 million or $36.3 million toward the salary cap depending on whether they'd make Adams a pre- or post-June 1 cut.

Resolving the long-term future of wideout Garrett Wilson will be another big priority since he's eligible for an extension starting this offseason. The next coach might have to make a compelling pitch to the 2022 first-round pick.

In general, New York's record went far beyond Rodgers' play under center, though that was obviously a factor. The team will have to make a lot of tough choices when identifying who can be a valuable contributor in 2025 and beyond.
