The New York Jets are planning to interview Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville for their vacant offensive-coordinator position, a source confirmed.
Studesville, 49, is a well-regarded assistant who has spent the past seven seasons with the Broncos. Prior to that, he was a running backs coach for the Bills (2004-2009) and the Giants (2001-2003). He never has held the title of offensive coordinator.
His status with the Broncos is up in the air because they have a new coach, Vance Joseph, who was introduced Thursday.
The Jets' top choice to replace the retired Chan Gailey was John DeFilippo, the Eagles' quarterbacks coach, but their interview request was denied by the Eagles.
