The New York Jets have revealed the three finalists for their general manager position and a decision is expected on Thursday, January 23.
Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden are also both under consideration for roles on Glenn’s staff, according to sources.
The Jets will conduct in-person second interviews with Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey and Bengals senior personnel exec Trey Brown for their GM job tomorrow, per source. Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark was in Tuesday. Those are, for now, the only three finalists.
The two sides reached an agreement on Wednesday nearly 31 years after the Jets drafted Glenn in the first round
He must have impressed because Mougey is one of only three known candidates who were called back for a second interview. A source confirmed to 9NEWS on Wednesday that Mougey, who is now the Broncos' assistant general manager, has been called back by the Jets for a second interview.
According to Jonathan Jones, the Jets are planning second interviews with Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey and Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown for their general manager job. New York also completed a second interview for Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark on Tuesday.
The New York Jets general manager candidate poll is down to three finalists: Lance Newmark, Darren Mougey, and Trey Brown.
With Aaron Glenn finalizing his deal to become the new Jets head coach, the team will turn its attention to more second interviews for the GM job, according to a source. Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark interviewed in Florham Park for the job on Tuesday.
It was widely assumed that Glenn and Washington Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark were a package deal. After all, they worked together for three years with the Detroit Lions, and both were present Tuesday at the team facility for second interviews. Newmark was the first GM candidate to get a second (in-person) interview.
The New York Jets and Aaron Glenn agreed to terms on making the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator their head coach on Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the hiring.
