Jets Hire Veteran Coach Frank Reich as Offensive Coordinator

Frank Reich, with 16 years NFL coaching experience and former Colts head coach, joins Jets to improve one of the league's worst offenses ranked 29th in scoring last season.

  • On Wednesday, the New York Jets hired Frank Reich as their offensive coordinator after he met in person with Aaron Glenn and team officials on Tuesday, replacing Tanner Engstrand who left last week.
  • Facing a poor offense that ranked 29th in scoring and yards, Aaron Glenn, Jets head coach, sought a veteran play-caller to overhaul the offense after a 3-14 debut season.
  • Most recently at Stanford, Reich's résumé shows stints as a head coach with the Indianapolis Colts and interim head coach in 2025, after a 4-8 record.
  • Glenn will call the defense while Reich is expected to take ownership of the offense and address quarterback needs amid limited options, also filling quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator roles.
  • Following a Rooney Rule-related delay, Frank Reich becomes the Jets' 12th different play-caller in 16 years after being out of the NFL in 2024-25.
