Jets to interview Jon Robinson, ESPN’s Louis Riddick for GM job
NY Post
Let the interviews begin.
The Jets are taking the next step in finding their new general manager when they begin interviews this week, a source confirmed. The first known candidates are former Titans GM Jon Robinson and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick.
Robinson will interview this week while Riddick’s interview may come later.
The Jets are able to interview candidates who are not currently working for an NFL team. Anyone currently employed by a team will have to be interviewed after the season.
The Jets fired coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 and GM Joe Douglas on Nov. 19 in the midst of this disappointing season.
The Jets are not committed to hiring a GM first and a coach second. They have hired The 33rd Team, led by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum and former Vikings GM Rick Spielman, to assist them in the search for the two positions.
