The New York Jets have hired former NFL and college head coach Frank Reich as their new offensive coordinator, the team announced on its official website Wednesday (February 4).
Reich, 64, a former NFL quarterback who had previously worked as a head coach for the Indianapolis Colts from 2018 to 2022 and the Carolina Panthers in 2023, spent the 2025 season as Stanford University's interim head football coach, going 4-8 (3-5 ACC).
"Frank has a rare combination of experience, creativity, and calm under pressure," said head coach Aaron Glenn. "He's lived this game from every angle — as a quarterback in this league and as a coach who's led offenses at the highest level. He is unique in his ability to see the game for what it is right now and adapt when appropriate. Frank understands offense and how to utilize the strengths of players. I am looking forward to how he will help this team have success."
Reich initially interviewed for the offensive coordinator position last week and met in-person with the Jets on Tuesday (February 3), according to the team. The 64-year-old has a 41-43-1 NFL head coaching record in six seasons, which includes making the playoffs twice in his first three seasons with the Colts.
