There has been a striking lack of chatter about the search. Some reports have suggested the Jets will take their time. Others have hinted they are zeroing in on an executive from Philadelphia. Others have hinted Peyton Manning could emerge as a candidate. Others have suggested the team still has not gotten permission to speak with anybody yet. So far there has been little in the way of actual news on the search.On today’s podcast I offer five candidates I think the Jets should consider for these jobs. I am not saying these are the only five viable options. I am also not suggesting any would be a lock for success, but these are the candidates I would examine to start the search. I will explain my views on the show.My five candidates are Joe Douglas, the aforementioned Philadelphia executive Youth Mark Gastineau Jerseys , Eliot Wolf of Cleveland’s front office, free agent Scot McCloughan, Duke Tobin of Cincinnati’s front office Mark Gastineau Jerseys Stitched , and Will McClay of Dallas’ front office. Former Jets wideout and 1976 Olympic gold medalist Johnny “Lam” Jones has died.The reported Jones’ death on Friday. Jones, who was 60, had been battling myeloma cancer for many years.Jones was the No. 2 overall pick of the 1980 draft after a celebrated career as a football player and track star at the University of Texas. He entered the school with a gold medal that he won as a member of the 4X100 meter relay team at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.Jones was the leading receiver for a run-oriented Longhorns offense in each of his final three years at the school and the Jets drafted him after Billy Sims went first overall to the Lions and before Anthony Munoz was selected by the Bengals. His career didn’t pan out as well as Munoz’s as he caught 138 passes for 2 Youth Sam Darnold Jerseys ,322 yards and 13 touchdowns over five seasons before injuries derailed his career.Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
