NEW YORK, N. Deshaun Watson Jersey .Y. - The New York Jets are keeping busy in their searches for a general manager and a head coach.Owner Woody Johnson and consultants Ron Wolf and Charley Casserly spoke with Philadelphia director of pro personnel Rick Mueller on Sunday as the team looks to replace general manager John Idzik, who was fired last Monday along with coach Rex Ryan.The Jets also will interview Houston director of college scouting Mike Maccagnan and Miami director of college scouting Chris Grier in the next few days.They also have scheduled meetings for this week with Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles and San Diego offensive co-ordinator Frank Reich for the coaching job. The Jets already have met with four other candidates, including former Buffalo coach Doug Marrone.Mueller, who has been part of Philadelphias front office since 2012, joined Seattle director of pro personnel Trent Kirchner, Cleveland executive chief of staff Bill Kuharich and Jets senior director of football administration Rod Graves as GM candidates who have interviewed with the team.New York also is still waiting to receive permission to interview Kansas City director of player personnel Chris Ballard and New Orleans director of player personnel Ryan Pace.With Arizona eliminated from the playoffs Saturday, Bowles figures to be one of the hot names mentioned for the various openings around the league. The 51-year-old former NFL safety has led the Cardinals defence the last two seasons after serving as Philadelphias defensive co-ordinator in 2012.The Elizabeth, New Jersey, native has had several other NFL assistant positions, including serving as the Jets defensive backs coach in 2000.Reich, who is also drawing lots of interest around the league, was promoted by the Chargers this season to offensive co-ordinator after being their quarterbacks coach last year. He played 10 of his 14 NFL seasons with Buffalos, but spent 1996 with the Jets and started seven games for New York.Johnson, Casserly and Wolf met with Marrone on Saturday. The former Bills coach became one of the Jets top candidates last Wednesday night when he surprisingly opted out of his contract with Buffalo.The Jets also have talked to Seahawks defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn and assistant head coach-offensive line coach Tom Cable, and Anthony Lynn, who served as running backs coach and assistant head coach under Ryan.New York has also requested permission to speak with Baltimore offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiak, but he might not make himself available until the Ravens are finished in the playoffs — which could be the first week of February if they make it to the Super Bowl.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Brian Cushing Jersey . After a 10-game skid, winning sure feels good. Atlantas third error in the last two innings allowed Jackie Bradley Jr. Kareem Jackson Jersey . Hes recovered from a scary injury and cleared to play. Mingo, who was hospitalized with a bruised lung he sustained in an Aug.SAN ANTONIO -- Tim ;Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the winningest trio in NBA post-season history, shared hugs. Players wrapped themselves in flags from around world, a reminder that the San Antonio Spurs look far beyond the border to build champions, as confetti fell from above. Painfully denied 12 months ago by the Miami Heat, this victory party was worth the wait. "It makes last year OK," Duncan said. The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heats two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games. "We had a great first quarter, but from that point on they were the better team, and thats why theyre the champions in 2014," said LeBron James, who led the Heat with 31 points and 10 rebounds. San Antonio erased an early 16-point deficit and routed Miami for the fourth time in the series, denying the Heats quest for a third straight championship. A year after the Spurs suffered their only loss in six finals appearances -- a heartbreaking seven-game defeat -- they turned the rematch into no match at all. "We wanted to redeem ourselves. Im just glad we were able to do that," Parker said. Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, 05 and 07. They nearly had another last year, but couldnt hold off the Heat. "Ive said many times, a day didnt go by where I didnt think about Game 6," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said of the turning point in last years finals. "So I think, just in general, for the group to have the fortitude that they showed to get back to this spot, I think speaks volumes about how theyre constituted and what kind of fiber they have." Not to mention tons of talent, and perhaps the best coaching in the game. "They played exquisite basketball this series and in particular these last three games and they are the better team. Theres no other way to say it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. The Spurs won four titles in nine years, but hadnt been back on top since 2007, making Foreigners "Feels Like the First Time" an appropriate song choice after the final buzzer. Duncan and Popovich have been here for all of them, and it was the fourth for Parker and Ginobili, who with Duncan are once aagain the reigning the Big Three in the NBA. Tyler Ervin Jersey. Chris Bosh finished with 13 points and Dwyane Wade just 11 on 4-of-12 shooting for the Heat. The painful conclusion to last years NBA Finals served as the fuel for this one, powering the Spurs to a league-best 62-win season and a rematch with Miami -- the first in the finals since Chicago beat Utah in 1997-98. Round 2 went to the Spurs, but both teams have challenges to navigate if there is to be a rubber match. San Antonio will face questions -- as it has for years -- about the age of its core, and whether Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich want to stick around. The Heat will brace for the potential free agency of James, Wade and Bosh, and will need younger, fresher pieces around the three All-Stars if they all stay. But this moment belongs to the Spurs. Playing a methodical, albeit winning, style for many years made San Antonio respected, but never beloved. The Spurs were TV ratings killers, casual viewers finding them not much fun to watch. But Popovich opened up the offence a few years ago, making the Spurs an easy-to-like, tough-to-beat group that thrives on ball movement and 3-point shooting. "You showed the world how beautiful this game is," Commissioner Adam Silver told the Spurs during the postgame award ceremony. A decade and a half after winning their first title in 1999, when Duncan was in his second season, the Spurs remain the NBAs model organization, a small-market team that simply wins big and hardly ever does it with a high draft pick. Instead, they found players overseas or in other organizations who would fit the Spurs way of doing things and mesh with the Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, who have teamed for 117 postseason victories. That included Leonard, acquired in a draft-night trade with Indiana after playing at San Diego State, and Patty Mills, an Australian national who scored 17 points off the bench. In the end, the Spurs made winning their fifth title look stunningly easy -- much to the delight of the home crowd. After the slow start, they had their fans standing, chanting and dancing much of the second half. Notes: It was the Spurs 12th win by 15 or more points, most ever in a post-season. The Spurs outscored opponents by 214 points in the post-season. ... Miami had won 11 straight series, tied for the fifth-longest streak in NBA history. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL JerseysWholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '
