The New York Jets are actively seeking a voice to bring stability to their franchise. Many had high hopes that legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers would fulfill this role, but his first full season with the team revealed otherwise. Leading the Jets to a disappointing 5-12 record, Rodgers was frequently at odds with the media, which ultimately resulted in the mid-season dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh.
Recently, the Jets have completed an interview with one of their head coaching candidates. According to prominent NFL insider Adam Schefter, “Jets now have completed an interview with Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley for their head coaching position,” he reported on Friday.

Fans took to social media to express their disbelief regarding the Jets’ interview with Hafley, particularly given the Packers’ underwhelming defensive performance this season. Reactions from fans included comments like, “Jets interviewing all these randoms is pretty much what you’d expect from the Jets,” and another fan noted, “This one might be an interesting choice as well. Still think it will be the other guy that nobody wants.”
Jokingly, one person remarked, “Tune in next week when we interview this year’s winning coach from the New Jersey High School State Championship for our head coaching job,” while another added, “They have interviewed so many people that I’m expecting a call any second now.” It remains to be seen whether the Jets will ultimately choose to hire Hafley.
