As the New York Jets seek to fill their head coach vacancy, a division rival may have already swooped in and signed one of New York's top targets.

The Jets were already searching for a new head coach. Former Tennessee Titans bench boss Mike Vrabel is available and he had an interview in New York last week. More noteworthy: Vrabel, 49, is a former Patriots player as well and the speed his former team moved on from Mayo sure does look like Vrabel is on their radar.

There are 12 candidates and counting that have been reported to have already interviewed or have interviews on the books with the Jets as of Monday afternoon. Mike Vrabel, who most recently was the head coach of the Tennessee Titans from 2018-23, had reportedly a positive interview in New York.
