The list of reported interviews for the Jets includes:
- Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy (Interviewed)
- Former Dolphins HC Adam Gase (Interviewed)
- Former Packers HC Mike McCarthy (Interviewed)
- Cowboys passing game coordinator/DBs coach Kris Richard (Interviewed)
- Former Lions & Colts HC Jim Caldwell (Interviewed)
- USC OC Kliff Kingsbury (Interviewed)
- Buccaneers OC Todd Monken (Requested)
- Iowa State coach Matt Campbell (Declined)
- Baylor HC Matt Rhule (Expected)
USC has apparently granted Kingsbury permission to meet with NFL teams after previously denying him the ability to interview for NFL jobs.
The Jets and Cardinals are the two teams that have been linked to Kingsbury in recent weeks and Adam Schefter reported that Arizona and Kingsbury are said to have “strong mutual interest.”
Kingsbury, 35, was hired as the Texas Tech head coach back in 2013 and spent six years in the position before he was fired back in November. USC later hired him as their offensive coordinator.
During his six seasons at Texas Tech, Kingsbury led them to a record of 35-40 (46.7 percent), which includes three Bowl game appearances.
