Jets interview Josh McCown as head coach search takes unconventional twist
NY Post
The Jets completed interviews No. 13, 14 and 15 for their head coach opening on Friday.
Two of the interviews were with coordinators — Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
The third was with a candidate who would be a more unconventional choice — Josh McCown.
Jets fans will remember McCown’s two years with the team as a quarterback, first as a starter and then as a mentor to rookie Sam Darnold.
McCown is now the Vikings quarterbacks coach, where he was reunited with Darnold this season as Minnesota went 14-3 and made the playoffs.
McCown, who has only been an NFL assistant for two years, is the only coaching candidate the Jets have that has not been a head coach or a coordinator.
