A member of Kyle Shanahan's staff at the San Francisco 49ers, declined an interview to become the head coach of the New York Jets for the 2025 NFL season.

New York needed a strong-willed coach who won’t be shaken on the big stage. With his run in Detroit and a connection to the Jets, he checked all the boxes.

The San Francisco 49ers have many options in front of them, and trading HC Kyle Shanahan is a possible way for the team to move forward.

Woody Johnson and the New York Jets must swap out motivation to finally value innovation in today's NFL that rewards franchises for guts.

The jump from position coach to head coach is unusual but not unprecedented. A great example of it working is Andy Reid, who went from Packers quarterbacks coach to Eagles head coach in 1999. Reid has won 273 regular season games, the fourth most in NFL history, and has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs.

The New York Jets interviewed Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik for their head coach position Thursday. The meetings with Smith and Slowik gave the Jets 12 known candidates with whom they've spoken about their vacancy.

The San Francisco 49ers might be turning back the clock by interviewing former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh for their open defensive coordinator position. Saleh left the exact role with the 49ers following the 2020 season to become the Jets coach.

The Jets also are expected to interview Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and 49ers quarterbacks coach Brian Griese.

New York announced Thursday afternoon that the team interviewed Slowik for their open head coach role. The former 49ers assistant has been the Houston Texans offensive coordinator for the last two years while helping C.J. Stroud become one of the best young quarterbacks in the game.

The New York Jets were the first team to fire their coach this season when owner Woody Johnson relieved Robert Saleh of his duties in October, just five weeks into the season.

The accolades continue to pour in for Fred Warner. The San Francisco 49ers linebacker has already earned first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors for his stellar performance during the 2024 season. The Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) has now named Warner to its 2024...
