Mike Tice, back from New York where he said he believed he had a good interview with the Jets, added that he would entertain an assistant coaching job if he is called. But Tice doesn't plan to apply for any job. "If I don't get a assistant coaching job I like, I have a good chance to do some work on NFL television," he said. The word in New York is that Tice really impressed Jets officials but that team owner Woody Johnson had his mind set on New England Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, who got the job.
