The New York Jets are scheduled to interview Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells for their vacant offensive coordinator position today, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN. Wells has emerged as a prominent candidate in this year's coaching cycle as several teams look to fill high-level offensive vacancies.
This meeting with the Jets marks the third offensive coordinator interview for Wells during the current hiring period. He has previously interviewed for the same role with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Commanders. Wells has served as the tight ends coach for the Cowboys since 2020, where he has been credited with the development of one of the league's most consistent position groups.
Prior to his arrival in Dallas, Wells spent eight seasons with the New York Giants in various offensive roles, including two seasons as their tight ends coach. His extensive experience within the NFC East and his history in the New York market have made him a top target for teams seeking a new direction for their offense. The Jets are looking to finalize their staff following a season of significant offensive challenges.
