New York Jets' coaching candidates: Coordinators, connections to GM Joe Douglas

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- For the second time in two years, the New York Jets are in the market for a head coach after the team parted ways with Adam Gase on Sunday.

They broke a long franchise trend in 2019 by hiring an offensive-minded coach in Gase. This time, the Jets figure to be more open-minded, although it will be important to have a strong offensive coach on the staff to fix incumbent quarterback Sam Darnold or develop a high pick from the 2021 NFL draft.

The search will work like this, according to a source: CEO Christopher Johnson, team president Hymie Elhai and general manager Joe Douglas will conduct it.
