Report: Jets Contact Matt Rhule About Coaching Vacancy

By Glenn Naughton Posted On January 7, 2019

Jason La Canfora is reporting that in their search for a new head coach, the Jets have contacted Matt Rhule of Baylor University.

The Jets have in fact already discussed their head coaching vacancy with Baylor's Matt Rhule. A native New Yorker with an impressive resume, including NFL coaching experience.

All of the Jets other interviews have been well publicized up until now, but the possibility of squeezing in a meeting with Rhule was something that was mentioned by JetNation earlier in the day.

Wouldn't be shocked if the Jets worked out a meeting with Matt Rhule while they were in Texas. @MMehtaNYDN mentioned Jets would only be a short drive from him while interviewing Richard. Local guy, built programs, worked both sides of the ball, players love him.

Along with Rhule, the Jets have also interviewed Jim Caldwell and several others mentioned here.

On this episode of JetNation Radio, we take a walk down memory lane to the late 1990s when the Jets went from 1-15 to 9-7 due almost exclusively to a head coaching change.

We'll also kick around the idea of the Jets possibly hiring a defensive-minded head coach for 2025 and beyond.
