The New York Jets are finalizing a deal to hire veteran coach Frank Reich as the team's next offensive coordinator, according to Tom Pelissero of The Insiders. The move brings a wealth of experience to the Jets' coaching staff as they look to solidify their offensive leadership.
Reich, 64, most recently served as an interim coach at Stanford last fall. He returns to the NFL ranks after head coaching tenures with the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers. This appointment marks the first time Reich has held an offensive coordinator position in the NFL since the 2017 season.
During that 2017 campaign, Reich served as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, playing a pivotal role in the team's run to a victory in Super Bowl LII. Since then, he has spent the majority of his career in head coaching roles before this expected move to join the Jets staff.
The Jets are expected to conclude the hiring process shortly as they prepare for the upcoming season. No further details on the contract terms have been released at this time.
