Despite coaching with Robert Saleh in Houston, Frank Bush will not be retained by New York’s new head coach.
Instead, Bush will head to Atlanta, where he will serve as Arthur Smith’s linebackers coach. Bush was an assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach under Adam Gase. He was promoted to interim defensive coordinator following Gregg Williams’ in-season removal.
Under Bush’s direction, the Jets defense helped guide Gang Green to two victories in the team’s final four games.
In Atlanta, Bush will replace Jeff Ulbrich, who was officially named New York’s defensive coordinator on Thursday. Bush, who has 30-years of coaching experience, will reunite with Smith, as the two were on staff together in Tennesee from 2011-12.
The Jets have yet to announce who will replace Bush as the team’s inside linebackers coach, as Saleh has only hired five defensive assistants, in addition to Ulbrich.
