   Jets Eyeing Mike Tomlin as Next Head Coach

   The New York Jets are reportedly exploring the possibility of hiring former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin for the 2027 season. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports that Jets owner Woody Johnson is 'doing his homework' on Tomlin and that the Jets are considered front-runners for his services. Tomlin, who resigned from the Steelers this past spring after 19 years at the helm, is expected to be one of the top coaching candidates next year. If hired, Tomlin's arrival could potentially lead to the Jets pursuing two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, with whom Tomlin shares a deep mutual respect. However, securing Tomlin's services may not be easy, as reports suggest he would demand an ownership stake in the team.
