CEO Christopher Johnson says New York Jets seeking coach for 'entire team' this time around

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This time, the New York Jets will try something different. Instead of bolstering one side of the ball, which they tried unsuccessfully two years ago with the hiring of the offensive-minded Adam Gase, CEO Christopher Johnson said Monday they will look for a head coach who can galvanize the entire team.

"I don't much like the term 'CEO,' but it does describe what we're looking for," Johnson said. "We want a head coach that coaches the entire team and his staff. You don't have to be offensive, you don't have to be defensive.
