REPORT: Frank Reich LINKED To The New York Jets Offensive Coordinator Position

50 comments

1. Frank Reich is an awesome human being. He’s a perfect candidate to help Glenn. He’s been an HC and had success as an OC

2. Finally some half way decent news! So we definitely wont draft a smaller QB! Frank would want to work with a prototypical sized QB. Let's see what happens!

3. Frank would be a good hire.

4. Where do you live because the nyc area is blanketed in snow this morning

5. Reich and Leonhard

6. Well that should shut up every fire everyone every few games for a week or 2

7. That's perfect, Reich and Leonard would be fantastic hires

8. Trust me frank reich almost ruined Bryce young

9. Sunny and warm, meanwhile I’m over here getting a foot of snow smh. Regardless, I definitely think Reich at OC has potential

10. Another clear indication that Glenn should be fired. All the coaches that he hired last year failed.

11. Both Reich and Glenn were on the Jets roster in 1996, for a brief overlap. I remember Reich making a start. He’s a good offensive mind. Engineered the greatest playoff comeback I’ve ever seen as a Buffalo Bill against Warren Moon and the Oilers. And he was Boomer Esiason’s college roommate in Maryland. I’m kind of surprised he’d want to come here.

12. Would love frank

13. Frank Reich can then step in when Glenn gets the boot.

14. I would love having Reich there as a sounding board for AG and Tanner Engstrand. He would also be great as a guide for whoever our QB is next season.

15. Bart Scott as a linebacker coach

16. Jim Gannon gone to Packers as dc

17. Couldn't be happier , now get Mendoza.

18. AG messed up. He got someone more competent than him. So when things go south and they will they have a ready made replacement. Good job Jets.

19. I like it. Go for it Jets!

20. If Glenn is trying to turn things around a guy like Reich is a solid option. He isn't McVey or Shanahan, he is very much a run oriented offense that is fairly conservative. That said having been a QB he isn't exactly unaware of what other schemes do.

    Given the QB hell jets are in ( hopefully Glenn doesn't think Reich could resiscutate fields ) having someone who was a QB and has coached QBs in his career is huge with whatever QBs they bring in or draft.

    That he was a head coach helps a bit too, he did make the playoffs.

    The real question is what is his role? Is Engstrand technically the OC and Reich a consultant? As others pointed out the jets if they are giving him.the OC role have to interview other coaches , specifically to abide by the Rooney rule. So.they may keep Tanner as OC but give play calling over to Reich.

    Is this a killer hire? No, but unlike a lot of his coaches it isn't a head scratcher .

21. Finally "Light at the end of the tunnel"

22. Not good results in Carolina, mixed results in Indy, what to expect with the third Reich?

23. Why not get rid of Glenn and give Reich the job assuming he really wants to work for Woody's fish market dumpster.

24. I understand bringing him in but personally I loved engstrands OC ability. He got breece his yards even though the box was always stacked. And he had WRs running open especially in the middle of the field. That's what you want in today's nfl. Seems like jets get these talented OCs (like lafleur and engstrand) set them up to fail with horrible qb play (wilson, fields) and then they fire or demote them and the guy we bring in is outdated. Idk seems dumb. Shanahan couldn't make trey lance work so why do we expect anyone with Wilson or fields to get results as an OC?

25. Sheesh im losing confidence in AG slowly man smh I don’t like this find a DC Oc is fine smh

26. Yes!! Let’s goo! Someone with call playing experience and QB coach! Go Jets!!

27. Would definitely be great I’ll be happy to

28. Would love this hire for us 🔥💪🏾🏈

29. Tanner should stick to tanning leather furniture

30. Leonard still available. G.B. hired a coach. Heard it from Boy Green minutes ago

31. Hes the perfect type of OC. Someone whos an average-above average playcaller who failed an an HC on more than one occasion. Means that IF hes successful he wont get poached after a great year.

32. Whoever plays QB for them will be vastly helped by this hire

33. As a player, Frank Reich led his Maryland Terrapins and later the Buffalo Bills to the greatest comeback victories in NCAA and NFL post-season history respectively at the time. He's definitely an upgrade over Tanner Engstrom as an OC, but ultimately his success will depend on who is at QB.

34. Geez lady walking around in shorts! It's 16F here. As for Frank R. He's a good man and would be a big upgrade.

35. Finally a coach with expirence someone who knows what they are doing i am not going to go into what's Reich has or hasn't done if they hire him he becomes the most intelligent person in the building compared to what they have now

36. It’s comical we have to hire experienced OC and DC to lead the offense and defense because the HC doesn’t have the experience.

    Reich and Martindale would be great hires tho.

37. yes , reich would be a good choice ..

38. Ian from your lips to gods ears, that would be a great hire, Frank has tremendous experience as a QB and as a coach 👍

39. Just need stability and structure don't mind vet coordinators even if it's just 1 year

40. Reich should not be penalized for the Panthers tenure. I would be thrilled to have Reich

41. Jets need real adults in the rooms, with experience. Hire Frank and Wink

42. My take is if the Jets hire Frank Reich they would bring him on as an Assistant Head Coach with the responsibility of Primary Play Caller. Engstand will keep his title as Offensive Coordinator but will be moved up to the Crows Nest on Game Day. Reich will serve as a tutor to Engstand. I would expect Reich and the Jets to work out a contract of 3 to 5 Years in length.

43. You think Tanner Engstrand can be QB coach?

44. People who are trashing this would be hire are not being fair. I am not a fan of Glenn but if Reich is hired I am willing to give this a chance.

45. Boy would I love to see Frank Reich he would really help this offense Ian

46. I don't know what to think at this point. I just can't envisage a turnaround in the franchise without a serious owner who wants success on the field not just in the media circus.

47. First coaching candidate that makes any sense at all — for HEAD coach. And even there, I'm not sure Reich is the guy to pick a QB in the 2026 draft, based on what he's done to date.

48. How about just make Reich the HC. Glenn is useless with another 3-14 season coming and 3 wins is a stretch

49. The Hiring of Wink and Reich would only confirm that Woody’s son is on Twitter, seeing all the “we need Vet Coaches on the staff” tweets, and showing them to Woody. The Jets are always Reactive and never Proactive.

50. We need his coaching services, that will be huge brother!
