Good morning Gang Green Nation! Maybe today is the day the Jets hire an offensive coordinator. Frank Reich is rumored to be the frontrunner in a somewhat underwhelming group of five candidates.

The Jets were right to move on from Tanner Engstrand

In all the years I have covered the Jets, one thing has been constant. People criticize the coach calling the plays on offense. Brian Schottenheimer, Marty Mornhinweg, Chan Gailey, Jeremy Bates, Adam Gase, Mike LaFleur, and Nathaniel Hackett all took heaping portions of criticism during their respective tenures. It didn’t matter that all of those […]

The State of the Jets Coaching Staff: Ummm What?

For starters, let me preface this by saying that much of what follows is conjecture. In all my years following this team, I can’t remember a time with this level of secrecy and confusion. It genuinely feels like no one outside the Jets’ day-to-day operations has any real idea what’s going on. We’ve seen beat […]

New York Jets Flight Connections 01/28/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Another day, another firing by the New York Jets. Yesterday the Jets fired offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand.

Among the internal names most likely to take that job was then pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand. The Lions obviously opted to go elsewhere, and Engstrand ended up following Aaron […]

Dante Moore has decided to return to school and that puts everything up in the air at number two. Will the Jets go best player available? Will they target a premium position?
