Part 4/7:
Candidate Assembly
As part of the candidacy process, Spielman noted the importance of defining the skill sets and backgrounds required in their next general manager and head coach. He touched upon fundamental considerations, such as whether to prioritize an offensive or defensive candidate and how much prior coaching experience is deemed necessary. These reflections are routine but essential, reflecting the seriousness with which the Jets are approaching this search.
Moreover, Spielman made it clear he has no interest in stepping into the general manager role himself, shutting down any speculation regarding his ambitions in this regard. His focus lies on facilitating a process that adheres to rules against tampering with other teams' personnel.
