The Jets have acted quickly to put together a schedule of interviews for their vacancy at general manager.

Most of the schedule is made up of names that we’ve already heard in the 40-odd hours since the team parted ways with John Idzik and we can add Browns executive Bill Kuharich to the list. Kuharich was a longtime member of the front offices in New Orleans and Kansas City and joined the Browns this year as an advisor to General Manager Ray Farmer.

Albert Breer of NFL Media reports that the Jets will interview Kuharich, Texans college scouting director Mike Maccagnan, Vikings assistant general and Eagles pro personnel director Rick Mueller in the next five days. They are also scheduled to speak with Seahawks pro personnel director Trent Kirchner on Saturday in Seattle.

There is also interest in interviewing Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta and Vikings assistant general manager George Paton. Both men turned down the chance to interview with the Jets in 2013 and haven’t accepted the invitation to chat this time around as of yet.

The Jets have also identified several coaching candidates. On Monday, owner Woody Johnson said he would prefer to hire a general manager first but said it wasn’t set in stone that the Jets would proceed that way.
