Woody Johnson promises new hires will make Jets fans proud

The Jets submitted interview requests for head coach and general manager candidates who are employed by teams on Monday, casting a wide net. There were nine coaching interview requests that are known and six GM interview requests.Those are added to the candidates who have already been known to interview or are scheduled.
