The New York Jets are the latest team to meet with Arizona State co-defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis over their head coaching vacancy.
The team announced Thursday it completed an interview with the co-DC, a day after the Jets met with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
Lewis has now met with the Houston Texans, Detroit Lions and Jets.
Lewis originally joined the Sun Devils staff in 2019 as a special assistant. He served as ASU’s interim defensive backs coach for the 2019 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl before taking over coordinator duties with Antonio Pierce this season.
