ESPN Analyst Louis Riddick Interviewing For Texans GM Job Today

According to Chris Mortensen, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick is interviewing for the Texans’ general manager job today. 

Riddick is scheduled to speak with the Lions about their GM vacancy on Friday. Riddick’s name has also come up as a candidate for the Falcons GM vacancy. 

Riddick, 51, finished his playing career in 2001 and later took a job with Washington as a pro scout. He worked his way up to director of pro personnel before joining the Eagles as a pro scout in 2008.

Riddick once again managed to work his way up to director of pro personnel in Philadelphia before he was relieved of his duties in 2013. He has spent the past several years working as an ESPN analyst.

The 49ers interviewed Riddick for their GM vacancy before they hired Kyle Shanahan and paired him with John Lynch. Riddick was also connected to the Chiefs’ GM job and later interviewed for the Giants’ GM job that ultimately went to Dave Gettleman.
