The 2000 New York Jets season was the 41st season for the team, and the 31st in the National Football League. The team tried to improve upon its 8–8 record from 1999. Under the auspices of new head coach Al Groh, who took over for the then-retired Bill Parcells, the team finished 9–7. This would be the only season Groh coached the team; he took the head coaching job at the University of Virginia after the season.
