Jets Request To Interview Josh McCown For Head-Coaching Job
20 hours agoThe New York Jets have requested to interview Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown for their head-coaching job, according to sources. McCown, a former third-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2002, played 16 years in the NFL as a journeyman QB. He played two years with the Jets in 2017 and 2018 and went 5-11 as a starter with 3,465 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. McCown coached QBs in Carolina in 2023 before joining the Vikings in the same role in 2024. After reviving Sam Darnold to a career year, he's now getting some attention for a head-coaching job, even though he has no experience in that role. McCown was in the mix as a head-coaching candidate for the Houston Texans several years ago. With New York's QB situation unsettled, McCown figures to be a long shot for the Jets' job.
