According to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich will be joining the New York Jets as their new offensive coordinator under 2nd-year head coach Aaron Glenn:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s interesting because Reich and Glenn were former Jets teammates 30 years to the day back in 1996.<\/p>\n
The 64-year-old Reich served as Stanford football\u2019s interim head coach last year, going 4-8, under their new general manager Andrew Luck.<\/p>\n
Prior to joining Luck, Reich served as the Carolina Panthers head coach in 2023, before being dismissed in season after having a 1-10 record and with that year\u2019s #1 overall pick Bryce Young clearly struggling at quarterback.<\/p>\n
Of course, Colts fans know Reich most from when he served as the franchise\u2019s head coach from 2018-2022, where he compiled a 40-33-1 overall record, with 2 playoff appearances (and a wild card playoff win back in 2018).<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Colts got off to a slow start in 2022 again (at 3-5-1), and late team owner Jim Irsay, arguably still fuming over the failed Carson Wentz acquisition, shockingly fired Reich midseason in favor of ESPN analyst (and former Colts All-Pro center) Jeff Saturday\u2014which expectedly didn\u2019t bring about better results that season.<\/p>\n
Under Reich, the Colts offenses ranked league wide: 5th (2018), 16th (2019), 9th (2020), and 9th (2021) respectively over a full season of coaching work.<\/p>\n
Reich\u2019s biggest task will be developing and ensuring the success of whoever takes over for the Jets at starting quarterback next year\u2014as 2025 starter Justin Fields appears unlikely to return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich will be joining the New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":731062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,3562,2381,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-731061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts-news","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116018028458118448","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731061","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=731061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/731062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
