Cue the "THAT'S RACIST" pic.

Are there any minority offensive-minded candidates? Seems like the league went heavy on the offensive HCs.

Confirmed that Jets interviewed Randy Mueller last week for GM job. That was the "mystery ex GM" I heard about.

@ProFootballWkly: MT @mikejurecki: I was told (Ray Horton) had a heated exchange w/ Steve Keim, thought he was the guy when McCoy took the Chargers job.

Of first 12 coach/GM hires of 2013, 12 are white. Jets likely 13th of 13 with GM hire Friday. Your move, Browns, to avoid total NFL shame.

Steelers executive Omar Khan, believed to be a GM finalist, hasn't heard from the Jets tonight, I'm told. #nyj

I'd take Horton as coordinator in a second...

What a dumb statement by King.

For what, defense? We have Rex and Thurman. Horton sucks.

Says who? The guy seriously coached up that defense. I don't pretend to know how good or bad Truman is...but what has he done exactly?

At least we promoted a black guy to DC.

President Truman or Coach Thurman?

Horton was the coach of a defense that showed no heart and gave up at the end of the year. Didn't they lose by about 63 points to Seattle?
