Stump Mitchell is looking for a job and the Jets have an opening.

The running backs coach and the Cardinals parted ways earlier this week. Apparently, it was Mitchell’s decision to move on, as he is looking at other opportunities. Coincidently, Todd Bowles, familiar with Mitchell from his own tenure in Arizona, and the Jets need a RB coach.

In October Mitchell’s agent said the coach would be interested in a job with a higher title, according to Pro Football Rumors. His contract expired with the Cardinals at the end of 2016.

Taking the exact same role in New York would not be the promotion Mitchell is looking for, but maybe the additional title of assistant head coach-offense would do the trick.

Mitchell played for the Cardinals from 1981 to 1989. He first joined the organization as a coach in 2013. He’s done solid work in Arizona, most notably overseeing David Johnson’s transformation into one of the best running backs in the NFL.

Should he come to New York, he would have a steady backfield of Matt Forte and Bilal Powell to work with.
