According to a tweet from NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, the New York Jets have requested to interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to be their next head coach.
The Jets had a disastrous 2024 campaign and finished third in the AFC East with a 5-12 record with enigmatic quarterback Aaron Rodgers under center.
After firing head coach Robert Saleh just five games into the season, the Jets gave defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich the reins, which did little to help right the ship.
Now set to enter a rebuilding period, New York is doing its due diligence on qualified candidates who may be able to lead the Jets back to playoff contention.

Nagy may prove to be one of New York’s most enticing options, given his role in Kansas City’s Super Bowl LVIII victory and the Chiefs’ recent regular season success.
Nagy spent four seasons as head coach of the Chicago Bears and will be a hot commodity during the offseason for teams wishing to hire an experienced skipper.
