Overview
- New York finalized the hire on Feb. 4 after a second in‑person interview Tuesday, choosing Reich over fellow finalists Greg Roman and Darrell Bevell.
- Reich is expected to handle offensive play‑calling under head coach Aaron Glenn, who is set to call the defensive plays after appointing Brian Duker as defensive coordinator.
- The move follows last week’s split with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand after a 3-14 season marked by league‑worst passing production.
- Reich returns to the NFL after serving as Stanford’s interim head coach in 2025 and previously holding HC roles with the Colts and Panthers and OC posts with the Eagles and Chargers, including a Super Bowl LII run in Philadelphia.
- Quarterback remains unsettled after starts by Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and Brady Cook, with the Jets entering the offseason with multiple high draft picks and ample cap space to pursue options.
