Jets’ coaching candidates unlikely to energize fanbase

Jets fans spent months (some spent years) anticipating the firing of Todd Bowles. They had grown tired of watching the Jets lose, committing boneheaded penalties as the stoic Bowles stood on the sideline.

Those fans got what they wanted Sunday night when Jets CEO Christopher Johnson axed Bowles. But now the reality is setting in that there is no slam-dunk candidate out there to replace him.

The list of candidates for the Jets job so far is about as exciting as doing a load of laundry.

You have the retreads: Mike McCarthy, Jim Caldwell and Adam Gase.
