The New York Post is reporting that Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is the favorite to become the next head coach of the New York Jets.
Quinn reportedly can’t be offered the job until after the Seahawks season has ended.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has emerged as the favorite to land the head coaching job, according to league sources. But the Jets must wait until after the Seahawks season ends before offering him the job. That could be Feb. 2 if the Seahawks make a return trip to the Super Bowl. The Seahawks face the Panthers on Saturday in the divisional round.
The Jets interviewed Texans scouting director Mike Maccagnan for a second time on Friday for their general manager opening, according to sources. He is the only GM candidate to have been asked for a second interview and is viewed as the favorite to land the job, perhaps as soon as this weekend. Owner
Woody Johnson had dinner with Maccagnan on Friday night, a sign there is serious interest.
Quinn, 44, has been the Seahawks defensive coordinator for two seasons.
