The Jets’ coaching search brings them to their own backyard.
According to the NFL Network, Gang Green requested an interview with Giants defense coordinator Patrick Graham after he fired coach Adam Gase on Sunday night.
Graham, a 41-year-old Yale product, attracted a lot of attention this season and helped the Giants’ 17-12 upset with the Seahawks in Week 13. in the defense of points.
Graham joined Joe Judge’s Giants staff this season – his second series with the team – after spending time with the Patriots, Packers and Dolphins. Graham is expected to be a hot commodity as head coaches open around the NFL, with six vacancies already.
The Hawks of Atlanta, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers are probably with the Jets in the pursuit of Graham – what Logan Ryan once called ‘the Black Picasso’.
