from Texas who currently coaches Oklahama, would be an ideal fit for the Jets and second-year quarterback Sam Darnold.

The 35-year-old would be among the hottest names on the coaching market, but recent reports of an extension with Oklahoma will likely end the Jets pursuit.

Remember: Riley was tasked with developing 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield, who exploded onto the NFL scene this season.

Riley's spread-it-out college offense could do wonders for Darnold's on-field prognosis.

Dark Horse

Some may scoff at the mention of Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken, but despite his club's 5-11 record, the team's offense did not disappoint.

The Bucs offense was largely plagued by poor quarterback play via Jameis Winston and former Jet Ryan Fitzpatrick -- each was benched for the other duringthe season -- but the offense still managed to finish 12th in points per game (24.8) to go along with the league's third best mark in terms of yards (415.5 per game).

Monken's leadership skills remain in question, as his only prior head coaching experience came during a three-year stint with Southern Mississippi, where he went 13-26 at the college level.

Defense again?

The New York Jets have literally not had an offensive-minded head coach this century.

Could they go defense AGAIN?

Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach Kris Richard, a former cornerback, could be the guy who keeps the run on defensive-minded head coaches in NY alive.

Richard helped orchestrate the Legion of Boom as Seattle's defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator from 2010-2017 before serving as Dallas' DC this season.
