"The Jaguars interviewed New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for their head coaching position on Friday, a day after general manager Gene Smith reportedly flew to Charlotte, N.C., to interview Carolina offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski.

It's unclear where Schottenheimer's interview took place, but Jaguars owner Shahid Khan was in the New York area on Friday. Schottenheimer was also a candidate to be Florida's offensive coordinator but withdrew his name from consideration because he would prefer to coach in the NFL.

Schottenheimer has spent the past six seasons with the Jets, but he has come under fire along with quarterback Mark Sanchez after the Jets finished 8-8 and failed to make the playoffs this season.

Chudzinski coached an offense led by rookie quarterback Cam Newton, who threw for 4,051 yards this season, the 10th-most in the NFL and the most of any rookie quarterback. Chudzinski, who played his college ball at Miami, was also an offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns in 2007-08.

Interim head coach Mel Tucker interviewed on Wednesday at a location away from the stadium."
