The New York Jets are expected to revamp their offensive coaching staff this offseason.<\/p>\n
However, offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand is expected to remain in place. Any changes are expected to be around Engstrand.<\/p>\n
As the changes unfold, the Jets will have to keep in mind they are expecting to select a rookie quarterback<\/a> high in April\u2019s NFL draft<\/a>. With that in mind, the additions on their offensive coaching staff should include seasoned names who have experience developing young signal-callers.<\/p>\n The Jets don\u2019t have a single one of those on their current staff. It\u2019s why they need to go all-out to upgrade the staff before bringing in a young signal-caller.<\/p>\n A name the Jets should be all-in on trying to land? Former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.<\/p>\n Why the Jets should add Slowik to their offensive coaching staff<\/p>\n Slowik, 38, hails from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree. After working in Washington under Mike Shanahan as a defensive assistant, Slowik followed Kyle to San Francisco in 2017.<\/p>\n There, Slowik started out with two years as a defensive quality control coach, before slowly working his way up the ladder. Slowik spent two years as an offensive assistant and one year as a pass-game specialist before eventually becoming the 49ers\u2019 passing game coordinator in 2022.<\/p>\n After making a name for himself in league circles during his time in San Fran, the Houston Texans hired Slowik as their offensive coordinator, following the 49ers\u2019 defensive coordinator, DeMeco Ryans. Slowik ultimately spent two seasons in that role (2023-2024).<\/p>\n During his first year as Houston\u2019s OC, he guided rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud to an outstanding season, culminating in the NFL\u2019s Offensive Rookie of the Year award.<\/p>\n However, after a 2024 season in which the Texans\u2019 offense regressed significantly, Slowik was canned, and the organization hired Nick Caley, a disciple of Sean McVay, as their next OC.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old was hired by the Miami Dolphins in February to serve as their senior passing game coordinator. However, after just one year in that role, there is a high chance he could be back on the open market, as the Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel and are expected to undergo a significant overhaul of McDaniel\u2019s staff that remains in Miami.<\/p>\n Assuming he becomes available this offseason, Slowik is certainly a coach that the Jets should explore adding to their staff.<\/p>\n The Jets are expected to select a rookie high in April\u2019s NFL draft, and surrounding that young signal-caller with an established coaching staff is crucial in shaping the QB\u2019s early career.<\/p>\n Currently, the Jets\u2019 brain trust doesn\u2019t have much experience developing quarterbacks. Beyond head coach Aaron Glenn\u2019s defensive background and Engstrand\u2019s general lack of experience, the Jets have a weakness at the role most directly tied to a young quarterback\u2019s development.<\/p>\n Their QB coach, Charles London, is a former running back who made a name for himself in the coaching space at the running back position. London did not coach quarterbacks in any capacity until 2021, and his track record since then is uninspiring, bouncing between teams that have found little success under center.<\/p>\n It never made sense for the Jets to hire London in the first place, given his highly underwhelming track record and limited experience working with quarterbacks. With a young quarterback coming in, New York needs to take this role seriously.<\/p>\n The Jets have tried developing a QB with unproven coaches in place, and it hasn\u2019t worked. That is why adding as many seasoned coaches as possible is mandatory for Gang Green as they look to take another shot at the quarterback position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets are expected to revamp their offensive coaching staff this offseason.
