New York Jets, Mike McCarthy differed over staffing issues (Report)

The New York Jets made the decision to hire Adam Gase as their next head coach to replace the fired Todd Bowles. There were several other options in play, including former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy, and Baylor University head coach Matt Rhule.

Chris Johnson, running the team for brother Woody, was said to be enamored with McCarthy. So why was McCarthy not hired? According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the issue came down to disagreements about how the coaching staff would be built.
