Why Jets passed on requesting interview with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson
NY Post
Among the lengthy list of Jets coaching interview requests, one name stood out as a notable exclusion.
Gang Green did not include arguably the hottest candidate of this coaching cycle in Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson among their nine requests Monday, The Post’s Brian Costello reported.
“The Jets do not feel that Johnson would be a fit for them so they are not requesting an interview, according to sources,” Costello wrote.
Johnson, 38, has been hyped as arguably the top candidate of this cycle after running a Lions offense that led the league with 33.2 points per game.
Detroit has ranked top five in scoring in all three of his seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator.
Johnson passed on becoming a head coach last offseason, but the setting seems ripe this cycle for him to lead a franchise for the first time.
