New York — The New York Jets have interviewed Dallas Cowboys assistant Kris Richard for their head coaching vacancy.

The meeting in Texas with Richard was the team’s fourth known sit-down with potential candidates to replace Todd Bowles, who was fired last Sunday. New York has also interviewed Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, former Miami coach Adam Gase and former Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy.

Richard is the Cowboys’ defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator. He helped coach Dallas to a 24-22 wild-card playoff win over Seattle on Saturday night.

The 39-year-old Richard, a former NFL defensive back, began his coaching career in 2008 at USC, his alma mater. He followed coach Pete Carroll to Seattle and served in various roles as an assistant.

He was fired by the Seahawks after last season and hired by the Cowboys.
