There’s a lot of things coming to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a>. However, one of the most important aspects of the game is having a complete coaching staff. Aaron Glenn has an opening someone else to call plays as the offensive coordinator. A former Super Bowl champion might be the one arriving to the team’s facility.



According to the team’s website, the Jets interviewed Frank Reich for the offensive coordinator vacancy. Reich won the Super Bowl as the Eagles offensive coordinator in 2017. He was then the head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> and Carolina Panthers, before going to Stanford, where he served as interim head coach and then as a senior advisor.



Reich is known as a great offensive mind in the business. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Glenn</a> relieved Tanner Engstrand from his offensive coordinator role after just one season, where the former Detroit Lions passing game coordinator failed to deliver. The Jets offense ranked 29th in total yards, dead-last in passing yards, and 29th in scoring.



<h2>Reich has the resume, but is still a risky move</h2>



The last time we saw Frank Reich in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, he was being fired after 11 games by Carolina, in which his team went 1-10. This is the fourth shortest head coach stint in NFL history (not interims taken into consideration). After that, it’s been three years since he hasn’t been in the league and that might be troublesome.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/frank-reich" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reich</a> is 64 years old and this league has evolved. While no one will deny he knows plenty of football and his offensive playcalling has been above average, there’s no guarantee he will be able to do so after years away from the league. The concerns could increase given that the Jets roster is not stacked by any means.

<h2>The Jets don’t even know how they’ll look in 2026</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/ny-jets-free-agents-in-2026-which-players-are-out-of-contract-in-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Many players will be out of contract with the Jets in 2026</a>, but not only that, there is some real concern on the quarterback position. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> has a contract for next year but he might not be seen as the solution. In fact, he was benched by Tyrod Taylor at a point this season.



Hence, Reich, or any of the other interviewees (former Chargers OC Greg Roman, Dolphins quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell, Bills quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry, and Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells), won’t have any certainties coming into the season. Needless to say, it’s a tough job to accept, since the situation is an uphill battle.
