A pair of former Carolina Panthers staffers are set to interview for one of the more high-profile job openings of the 2025 NFL offseason.
Joe Brady and Josh McCown, according to numerous reports, will speak with the New York Jets regarding their head-coaching vacancy.
McCown, currently the quarterbacks coach of the Minnesota Vikings, is scheduled for his talk on Friday. The Jets are expected to chat with Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley and fellow Vikings coach and defensive coordinator Brian Flores today as well.
The Panthers hired McCown as their quarterbacks coach in 2023. But he’d only last 11 games into the regular season—as he, head coach Frank Reich and assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley were dismissed following the team’s Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Brady met a similar fate two years earlier, as he was fired from the offensive coordinator position in the middle of the 2021 campaign. The former LSU play-caller proceeded to land in Buffalo—taking up the role of quarterbacks coach in 2022 and 2023 and offensive coordinator in 2024.
