Bart Scott Eyes Jets or Ravens Coaching Role as New York Seeks Linebackers Coach

No contact from New York yet during the search for a linebackers coach under new coordinator Brian Duker.

Overview

  • NFL insider Tony Pauline reports that Bart Scott, via agent Harold Lewis and in his own comments, wants to move into coaching with either the Jets or the Ravens.
  • As of the latest reporting, the Jets have not approached Scott about their linebackers coach vacancy that opened after Brian Duker’s arrival as defensive coordinator.
  • Scott has no formal coaching experience and has worked in sports media since retiring in 2012, with outlets noting examples of former players who later succeeded as coaches.
  • Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV is targeting a 2026 breakout and intends to play above 250 pounds to expand his pass-rush versatility after an eight-sack season cut short by a knee injury.
  • Senior Bowl practice time changes drew positive reviews from team personnel, and Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren reportedly withdrew over concerns that drills would expose his speed.
