Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson laid out his vision Monday for what the team is seeking in a new head coach.

Johnson wants a coach who will be a true head coach and not solely focused on one side of the ball.

“I don’t much like the term CEO, but it does describe what we’re looking for,” Johnson said. “We want a head coach that coaches the entire team end-to-end and his staff. You don’t have to be offensive. You don’t have to be defensive. This is a coach for the entire team and that’s very important to us looking forward.”

Johnson was careful not to directly criticize Adam Gase, whom he fired on Sunday night after two seasons as the team’s head coach, but it was not hard to read between the lines. Gase was hired two years ago to fix the Jets offense, specifically young quarterback Sam Darnold. The team was laser-focused on finding an offensive coach in that search for Gase and was on board with pairing him with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in a setup in which Williams was basically the head coach of the defense.

Now, Johnson said the team wants to land a “different kind of coach.”

“I think that this is a really good landing spot for a coach and once we have that coach, once we stick the landing with this coaching hire, I think that the future of this team is very, very bright,” Johnson said.

The Jets are already known to have requested permission to interview several candidates — Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, per sources and reports. That list will grow in the coming days as Johnson promised a “broad and deep” search.

The search will be led by general manager Joe Douglas, whom Johnson gushed over during the conference call. Johnson and team president Hymie Elhai will also sit in on interviews, but Douglas will choose the coach.

“I really think Joe is the GM we’ve been searching for for years,” Johnson said. “I have a lot of faith in him. If we can get this coaching hire right and I think we will, I think we can be a team that no one is going to want to see on their schedule, even next year.”

The Jets were the team everyone wanted to play this season. They finished 2-14 and missed the playoffs for the 10th straight year, the longest active drought in the NFL. They have had five straight losing seasons for the first time in franchise history and went 9-23 overall in Gase’s two years.

“I am sick of losing,” Johnson said. “I am so tired of this, as are the players, as are the fans.”

Johnson said the team will consider changing its organizational structure to have the new coach report directly to Douglas. Under the current setup, the coach and GM are equals and each reports to ownership.

“Everything is up in the air here and that is one of those things that we’re considering changing,” Johnson said.

It was clear the Jets would be moving on from Gase as the losses mounted this season. They opened the year 0-13 before winning consecutive games in December. Johnson said he did not fire Gase midseason because he thought the team was still playing hard for him and the Johnsons’ philosophy has been to let coaches finish the year.

As for fans who were hoping the Jets would “Tank for Trevor” and were upset when the Jets won and lost the No. 1 draft pick and a shot at Clemson star Trevor Lawrence, Johnson said he could empathize.

“I understand that viewpoint and after so much disappointment fans were looking for something to say this was our reward,” Johnson said. “In this building, we play to win. I wouldn’t want anybody in this building who doesn’t want to win every damn game. The will to win is the heartbeat of the players that will take us back to the playoffs. You don’t want anybody in this building who wants to lose.”
