The New York Jets are reportedly on the lookout for a CEO-style head coach. Someone who can run an entire team rather than just one side of the ball. Basically, they want the complete opposite of Adam Gase. Nobody on their list personifies that as much as Matt Eberflus.
Sure, there are others on the Jets‘ list who ould fit the archetype of being the opposite of Adam Gase. Robert Saleh in particular stands out. However, Eberflus has something that Saleh doesn’t and that’s nearly 30 years of coaching experience.
The only other candidate for the New York Jets head coach who even comes close to matching Eberflus’ experience is Marvin Lewis.
