Still searching for an offensive coordinator, the Jets interviewed Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi on Wednesday for the position, according to a league source.
Lombardi, the grandson of the legendary Vince Lombardi, has coached the Saints' quarterbacks for six years and is well-regarded throughout the league. Rex Ryan said he wants to create an attacking offense, and the Saints are known for their aggressive, pass-oriented approach. Naturally, it helps to have Drew Brees.
The Jets have interviewed at least four people for the vacancy -- Lombardi, Stanford coordinator Pep Hamilton, former Ravens coordinator Cam Cameron and former Eagles coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. Tony Sparano was fired after the season.
Former Browns coach Pat Shurmur is interviewing Friday, according to the New York Daily News.
Hamilton is the leading candidate for Colts' coordinator vacancy, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Friday. That makes sense, as Hamilton was Andrew Luck's position coach at Stanford.

Sanchez said QB coach David Lee is stressing footwork drills. He said Lee considers proper footwork "an art form." #Jets

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

Regardless of who represents him, Geno Smith will sign a four-year contract for $5 million, give or take a few thousand. #wagescale #Jets

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Geno on Jay Z's Roc Nation: "Being in NY, from a standpoint of what they can do in the city, connections they have, it's a good move." #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
