The team\u2019s OC when the Eagles won their first Super Bowl, Frank Reich, also has a new job.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2019052051997565236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported<\/a> Wednesday the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Jets<\/a> are hiring Reich as their new offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>This will be Reich\u2019s third stop as an <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"NFL\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159849\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> offensive coordinator. He was the then <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/los-angeles-chargers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Diego Chargers<\/a> offensive coordinator from 2014-15 before holding the role with the Eagles from 2016-17.<\/p>\n<p>Reich helped the Eagles finish with a top 10 offense and Super Bowl title during the 2017 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Reich served as <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/indianapolis-colts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> head coach from 2018-22 and <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/carolina-panthers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carolina Panthers<\/a> head coach in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The role with the Jets will be Reich\u2019s first NFL opportunity since 2023. In 2025, Reich was Stanford\u2019s interim head coach.<\/p>\n<p>Jets Hiring Former Eagles OC Frank Reich: Report<\/p>\n<p>Reich flamed out as an NFL head coach with the Colts and Panthers. Neither team allowed Reich to finish his last year as head coach.<\/p>\n<p>During the middle of a very disappointing 2022 season with <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/matt-ryan\/\" title=\"Matt Ryan\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159868\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Ryan<\/a> behind center, the Colts fired Reich after Week 9. Reich was unable to get the Colts off the quarterback carousel they were on after Andrew Luck retired. That ultimately led to his demise.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the Panthers held the No. 1 pick after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/39675345\/did-panthers-make-mistake-trading-take-bryce-young-cj-stroud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">trading up from No. 9<\/a>. Carolina selected quarterback <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/bryce-young\/\" title=\"Bryce Young\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159865\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryce Young<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After Young started his career 1-9, the Panthers fired Reich.<\/p>\n<p>Both situations were far from ideal for any head coach. Reich also was a great coordinator in Philadelphia, so it\u2019s not shocking he\u2019s getting another NFL opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>With the Jets, Reich is stepping into another bad situation. But he\u2019s a potentially calming presence with Super Bowl experience as both a player and coach.<\/p>\n<p>Reich\u2019s Resume as NFL Offensive Coordinator<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 Eagles were the best statistical offense Reich has coached in his career. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/coaches\/ReicFr0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">The unit finished<\/a> third in points and seventh in yards with <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/carson-wentz\/\" title=\"Carson Wentz\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159864\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carson Wentz<\/a> and Nick Foles at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>After a disappointing finish to the 2017 regular season, Reich and former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson developed a game plan to maximize Foles\u2019s strengths for the playoff run. It resulted in the Eagles winning the Super Bowl with Foles as MVP.<\/p>\n<p>Although his Colts tenure ended poorly, Reich had a strong start in Indianapolis. With Luck behind center, the Colts went 10-6 in 2018. They won nine of their last 10 regular season games and a playoff contest.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the Colts went 11-5 with <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/philip-rivers\/\" title=\"Philip Rivers\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159866\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philip Rivers<\/a> as their quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>During 2018 and 2020, the Colts offense was top 10 in yards and points under Reich. His offense with the Chargers in 2015 was also top 10 in yards.<\/p>\n<p>The big question for Reich in New York is who will play quarterback. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/justin-fields\/\" title=\"Justin Fields\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159867\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Fields<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">remains under contract for 2026<\/a>. However, the Jets also have the No. 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Reich will coach under Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, who <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/york-jets-now-fired-8-192616546.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">fired eight assistants this offseason<\/a>. Glenn will be entering his second season with the Jets in 2026, but he may have barely survived his first campaign after going 3-14.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, there will be pressure on Reich to produce immediately regardless of who plays quarterback for the Jets next fall.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/dmholcomb\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dave Holcomb<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL and MLB for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions.
