Lost in the excitement of the New York Jets hiring a new head coach Wednesday is the reality that fans have gone through this song and dance before. They aren't necessarily wrong to feel this way, either. New York has hired all but one head coach from a defensive background since the Johnson family bought the team in 2000.

He becomes the fifth NFL head coach to have a playing history with his current team, after Mike Vrabel (New England Patriots), Jim Harbaugh (Los Angeles Chargers), DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans) and Dan Campbell, his most recent boss in Detroit.
