New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers publicly supports Jeff Ulbrich

One of the biggest decisions the New York Jets face at the end of this season will be choosing their next head coach.

One candidate under consideration is almost certainly interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. Notably, Aaron Rodgers (whose future is inherently uncertain) recently expressed public support for Ulbrich.

As further quoted by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk:

“If a new GM comes in and he doesn’t keep ‘Brick,’ I have to fit into those plans,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers also made it clear that he wants Ulbrich to get the job.

“I’m definitely all in on ‘Brick,'” Rodgers said. “I love ‘Brick.'” But that’s also out of my control. I mean, I’m not going to say, “Bricks or nothing.” You know, I’ll have to see how I feel. Of course I would like to play for “Brick” again. He is a fantastic person. But you know, there’s a lot of things that can change in the next six weeks. There could be really good feelings about it, or there could be major changes.”

So Rodgers wants Ulbrich. Maybe that matters, maybe it doesn’t, but it’s probably worth keeping an eye on in the coming weeks.
