The New York Jets are going through the process of hiring their next offensive coordinator after Tanner Engstrand’s shocking dismissal.
According to multiple reports including ESPN, the Jets are down to three candidates. That list includes Greg Roman, Frank Reich, and Darrell Bevell.

All three candidates possess previous experience coordinating NFL offenses.

Greg Roman spent the previous two campaigns coordinating the Los Angeles Chargers offense for Jim Harbaugh. He previously worked under John Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens and was key throughout Lamar Jackson’s formative years. Roman failed to maximize Justin Herbert in L.A., but his track record is better than the alternatives.
Frank Reich

Frank Reich has been the overwhelming favorite to become Aaron Glenn’s coordinator and play caller. Reich enjoyed a fairly successful stint as the Indianapolis Colts‘ head coach (2018-22), but the follow-up job he did with the Carolina Panthers was disastrous. A decision could arrive this week.

Darrell Bevell was Pete Carroll’s long-term offensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, his reputation has taken a negative turn. Bevell coordinated a bad Detroit Lions offense in 2020 before becoming their interim head coach following Matt Patricia’s midseason firing, and the same thing happened to him in 2021 in Jacksonville with Urban Meyer.
