Director of Player Personnel
"Edington joined the Jets after a long high school and college coaching career in Ohio and Michigan. He has directed the Jets to a strong draft in each of his years with the team.
Homer coached against Weeb Ewbank nearly 30 years ago on the Ohio high school circuit. He began his career at Fairfield High in Hamilton, Ohio, then was an assistant coach at Ohio State from 1943-46. He returned to the high school ranks from 1946-50 with Chilicothe (Ohio) High before heading for Kent State University from 1950-53 as an assistant coach.
In the '50s, Homer was also a civilian athletic consultant to the U.S. Army in France and Germany, and head coach at New Albany (Ohio) High. He coached eight years at Lakewood (Hebron, Ohio) High from 1960-67 and then spent a year at Muskegon Heights High in Michigan just prior to joining the Jets.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Homer graduated from Ohio State in 1938."
