The Jets need a new head coach, and they could be preparing to raid one of the best offenses of all time to get their man.
Todd Bowles was officially relieved of his duties after his team ended the season 4-12 following a 38-3 beatdown from the New England Patriots. In the wake of dismissing Bowles, the team has reportedly looked to Kansas City for their next potential candidate for the vacancy.
The 49-year-old doesn’t have any head coaching experience at the professional or collegiate levels, but he fits the mold of the kind of coach the Jets are supposedly looking for. New York needs someone who specializes in the offensive side of the game and who will be able to properly develop Sam Darnold from a promising youngster into a franchise quarterback.
The Monday Morning Quarterback's Albert Breer had the initial report, which also claims that Bieniemy will interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins in the coming days. The New Orleans native is in-demand, and for good reason. Kansas City's offense had a historical regular season. Patrick Mahomes lit the league up in 2018 by throwing 50 touchdowns and completing 66 percent of his passes. The Chiefs offensive powered them to a 12-4 record and to the first seed in the AFC playoffs.
Mike Maccagnan and the rest of the Jets' brass are certainly hoping he would be able to bring some of that offensive firepower with him if he comes to the Big Apple.
