Good bet that 4 or 5 of these guys will end up with coordinator or position coach job offers if they don't land an HC gig. 

Nothing wrong with doing your due diligence in this situation. I actually would love for them to have spent time interviewing their eventual coordinator for the HC position at the end of the day.  The more info on these guys the better. 

If the Jags do 10 interviews and naively think there's no way one of these guys might end up hired as our coordinator after the dust settles, they'd be doing it wrong.

I prefer the HC picks his guys. Picking the guys for him just causes division. GM/Owner should have ZERO input on the coordinators the HC wants.

Ummm - when did anyone imply otherwise? 

Interviewing all the HC candidates considered viable by your search committee doesn't mean you're suddenly going to alter course and tell your HC who to hire on his staff. 

Khan has clearly expressed that the next HC is going to rule the roost in Duval. Why would he then tell that guy who to hire? 

What I'm saying is it can only be beneficial to have your owners, executives, and search committee advisors be familiar with the guys the HC might bring in to work under him. 

Question: Do you actually think the reason they included Saleh in their search was because they want to tell their eventual HC to hire him?? Really?? 

Do you have any recollection on the national opinion of Saleh before Rodgers had him fired? 
I do.
He was a media darling credited with building a stout pass defense in NY that was getting all kinds of preseason love as a shoe-in playoff contender.  

In 2023 the Jets pass defense was top ten in:
Comp. % allowed
yard per attempt allowed
INTs forced

After the past two years of watching our secondary - I'm ALL ABOUT picking that guys brain in an interview if I get the chance. Even if I have zero interest in hiring him to coach my team.
