The Jacksonville Jaguars have some public candidates for their head coaching vacancy and two of those candidates have already interviewed with the team. Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski was interviewed by Jaguars general manager Gene Smith in Charlotte on Thursday according to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union.

In the same report, Ganguli states that it is unknown where New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Shottenheimer's interview took place, but Jaguars owner Shahid Khan was in the New York ares on Friday. Khan had stated in a press conference earlier that he would like to sit in on some of the interviews and ask the coaches question directly himself. Given that, it's unlikely Khan interviewed with Chudzinski, because he was in Jacksonville on Thursday and the interview took place in North Carolina.

If Gene Smith flew to Charlotte to interview Rob Chudzinski on Thursday, as @bradbiggs reported, Khan likely wasn't involved. #Jaguars
