Rams’ Staley meets with Chargers, Jets

Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley interviewed with the Chargers and New York Jets for their coaching jobs Sunday, a day after his defense led L. A. past Seattle in the playoffs.

“Sounded like it was an enjoyable visit with both groups and now I know his full focus and concentration is on the Packers,” Rams coach Sean McVay said, referring to the team’s next opponent. “But I think it’s a real credit. You know how highly I think of Brandon.”

Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and Indianapolis defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus also interviewed with the Jets. Seven known candidates have spoken with the Jets, who f ired Adam Gase after two seasons. New York also interviewed Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, former Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis, San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Carolina offensive coordinator Joe Brady. The Jets also are expected to interview New Orleans defensive backs coach Aaron Glenn.

Broncos GM search

The Broncos are focusing on five candidates to replace John Elway as general manager, including three with Denver roots and two who are Black: Terry Fontenot of New Orleans and Champ Kelly of Chicago.

President and Chief Executive Joe Ellis said last week it was “very important” for the Broncos to consider minority candidates.

Brian Stark, their college scouting director, interviewed Sunday. Fontenot interviewed Saturday, as did New England executive Dave Ziegler, who broke in with Denver. Kelly and Minnesota executive George Paton interviewed Friday.

President Trump will present the Presidential Medal of Freedom to New England coach Bill Belichick this week, the Associated Press reported.
