The trio increased the list to 15 coaching candidates to meet with the Jets, who have also conducted 15 interviews for their general manager job.

Brian Flores, 43, is maybe the most fascinating candidate interviewed so far. He has previous head coaching experience after his three-year stint with the Dolphins (2019-21).

The Jets are winding down their second full week of interviewing candidates for their vacancy. Flores is the 13th known person to interview. They also are expected to meet with their former quarterback and Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Friday.
