Mike Tomlin linked to New York Jets coaching search

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is reportedly a top target for the New York Jets following his resignation. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports that Jets owner Woody Johnson is actively investigating Tomlin’s potential return to coaching, with the team viewed as a front-runner to secure him.

In New York, quarterback Geno Smith is positioned as a contender for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. Smith, who returned to the Jets after stints with the Seahawks and Raiders, could become only the third player in league history to win the honor twice.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers face a transitional period. The team is navigating a season with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has indicated he may retire at the end of the year. Analysts have noted the team’s aging roster and high-pressure situation as they attempt to remain competitive in the AFC.
