While McCown played 18 seasons in the NFL for 10 different teams, he’s only been a coach for two years. He was hired as Quarterbacks coach for the Carolina Panthers under Frank Reich in 2023 and was tasked with developing their number one overall pick, quarterback Bryce Young.

The Jets have interviewed McCown for their vacant head coach position. He’s currently the QB coach with the Minnesota Vikings. Brian Flores, the defensive coordinator for the Vikings, has also spoke to New York in their long list of candidates.

The jump from position coach to head coach is unusual but not unprecedented. A great example of it working is Andy Reid, who went from Packers quarterbacks coach to Eagles head coach in 1999. Reid has won 273 regular season games, the fourth most in NFL history, and has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs.

Monday night’s wild-card round disappointment for the Vikings seemed to be felt viscerally by the voice of the team. Paul Allen, the team’s iconic radio voice on KFXN, felt all of the emotions in what became an ugly 27-9 loss that saw quarterback Sam Darnold get sacked nine times for 82 yards.

The New York Jets are interviewing Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown for their head coaching job on Friday, per Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. McCown, 45, is one of many head coaching candidates going through the lengthy interview process around the league.

A total of 10 quarterbacks, running backs and receivers were taken in the first round of the 2018 draft. Seven years later, only two are still with the team that drafted them. Of course, they are two of the best players in the NFL: Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (seventh overall pick) and Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (32 nd ).

The Minnesota Vikings had multiple coaches interview for promotions but only one is still in the running. The rest return.
