A former Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> head coach has been linked to the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

According to Connor Hughes of SNY TV, Frank Reich has been “linked” to the Jets as the team searches for a veteran offensive play caller.<\/p>\n

At this time, no official interview or anything along those lines has been reported.<\/p>\n

Tanner Engstrand is listed as the Jets’ offensive coordinator on the team site, but Hughes adds that he is “not expected” to call plays in 2026.<\/p>\n

Reich was the Colts<\/a>‘ head coach from 2018 through 2022. During that span, the Colts were 40-33-1<\/a> with Reich at the helm. Indianapolis would make the playoffs twice in 2018 and 2020, logging one postseason win.<\/p>\n

The Jets’ offense in 2025 ranked 29th<\/a> in points per game and 29th in yards per play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 25, 2026, 4:42 p.m. ET A former Indianapolis Colts’ head coach has been linked to the New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,95903,95895,95897,95883,96241,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-705836","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","19":"tag-tagnfl-hub","20":"tag-tagoverall-negative","21":"tag-tagsports-news","22":"tag-tagstanford-university","23":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115960240101315685","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
