Jim Harbaugh apparently won’t be in the mix for the Jets’ soon-to-be-vacant head-coaching job, with CEO Christopher Johnson on Monday taking the unusual step of publicly refuting a report suggesting that the team will go after the Michigan coach to replace Todd Bowles.
But regardless of which coach the Jets eventually go after once Bowles is shown the door - and there is every reason to believe that will happen shortly after next Sunday’s season-ending game against the Patriots – make no mistake: For one of the first times in recent memory, the Jets’ job will be one of the most attractive in this year’s hiring cycle.
