Part 3/7:
Spielman elaborated on the scope of his responsibilities, focusing on gathering and presenting information relevant to the Jets’ search. He indicated that the organization currently has an extensive list of general manager and head coaching candidates—consistent with standard operating procedures in an NFL offseason. This wide net approach helps mitigate any perception that the Jets are considering only a narrow range of options, which can often lead to disappointment among fans if their preferred candidates are overlooked.
Spielman’s role is more of a support mechanism for Tannenbaum, who is leading the operation. By taking a step back, Spielman can utilize his expertise to sift through numerous candidates, trimming the list based on what the Jets need moving forward.
