Jets may give Cottrell a second look

BY SEAN JENSENPioneer Press

Vikings defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell could emerge as a candidate for the New York Jets' head coaching vacancy.

Agent Joe Linta said he expects the Jets to interview his client because Cottrell was a finalist for the head coaching position in 2001, when owner Woody Johnson chose Herman Edwards instead.

"Since (Cottrell) was the finalist, I would expect them to come back to him and take another look," Linta said. "Maybe the Jets will want to find out if they hired the wrong guy."

The Jets have not sought permission from the Vikings to interview Cottrell. But Johnson's fondness for Cottrell was evident in 2001; Johnson hired Cottrell as the assistant head coach/defensive coordinator without Edwards' blessing. Edwards fired Cottrell in 2003.

Because of the contentious nature of Edwards' departure from the Jets

Max if that happened you might as well just sell the site and call it a career.

Sell the site? Cmon what kind of Webmaster would ever start a thread (even in jest) that he was going to sell the site?

Have to have respect for the game! :mrgreen:
