Jets still searching for GM with list whittled down to three candidates
NY Post
The wait for the Jets general manager continued Friday.
The team interviewed Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey and Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown on Thursday but they still had not hired anyone as of Friday evening.
Mougey and Brown are considered to be the favorites after they were called to Florham Park for second interviews.
The team also interviewed Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark on Tuesday and he is still a candidate for the job, according to sources, but Mougey and Brown felt like they had more momentum.
The three finalists came from a list of 15 candidates the Jets initially interviewed.
The team is looking to pair a GM with new coach Aaron Glenn, who was hired by the team Wednesday. Glenn, 52, is expected to have some input on the GM hire.

The pity is, at this point, the greatness we are watching in real time is threatened every week to be reduced to a footnote. We are witnesses to history, to the rarest form of extended success in a time of professional sport that’s supposed to be ruled by parity. But every year we have to deal with something else first.
