The New York Jets are about to kick their head-coaching search into high gear next week and a current coach is on the list of interviews.

The New York Jets have begun their search for a new head coach, with Mike Vrabel and Ron Rivera among big names to speak with team brass in recent days. Two other prominent coaches could be next, with Arthur Smith and Kliff Kingsbury also on the Jets' radar,

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has interest from the New York Jets for their open head coach position, according to NFL insider Josina Anderson. Smith is expected to be a hot candidate this off-season on the head coach market after his work with Russell Wilson.

"So I just need a break mentally to just kind of refresh, put my feet in the sand and see where I'm at after that," Rodgers said.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers connected with TE Tyler Conklin in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Dolphins for his 500th career touchdown pass, becoming just the fifth player in NFL history to hit the milestone.

The NFL fined quarterback Aaron Rodgers over $11,000 for a late hit against the Bills ahead of the New York Jets' final game of a tumultuous season.
