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. However, it wasn’t long ago that Wink Martindale was rumored to be all but hired as defensive coordinator before the Jets pivoted at […]

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 […]

New York Jets hire former Dolphins assistant as defensive coordinator

With the hiring of a new general manager — Jon-Eric Sullivan — and new head coach — Jeff Hafley — the Miami Dolphins are in the midst of a major staffing overhaul.

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.

10 Thoughts on NFL Championship Weekend: Sam Darnold’s ultimate redemption

1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets.
