Jon Gruden Turns Down Job With Jets
The New York Jets reached out to former NFL head coach Jon Gruden about the idea of joining head coach Aaron Glenn's coaching staff, multiple sources told Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. However, Gruden wasn't interested in the job. The report comes after the Jets parted ways with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand on Tuesday. The expectation is that former Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich will be brought in to call plays for the Jets' offense in 2026. It's unclear exactly what role the Jets had in mind for Gruden. Gruden has not coached in the NFL since he resigned as the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach after an email scandal that featured insensitive language in 2021. After finishing 3-14 in 2025 in Glenn's first year, the Jets need a lot of help on offense, but it must start with a quarterback.
