Jets consider Joe Whitt for head coach to replace Robert Saleh

The New York Jets have added Joe Whitt to their list of candidates for the head coaching position, as they seek to replace Robert Saleh, who was let go mid-season. Whitt, currently serving as the defensive coordinator for the Commanders, has a track record that caught the Jets' attention. Despite the Commanders' defensive struggles against the run, the team's strong performance against the pass helped push them to the divisional round of the postseason. Jeff Ulbrich, who took over as interim head coach for the Jets, saw his defensive unit face challenges, making Whitt's potential hiring a strategic move for the franchise.
