Jon Gruden refutes rumor he was offered a job by the Jets

If you are looking for a sign that we have reached the silly season of the NFL offseason, look no further than a rumor put out this week by The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt that the Jets contact former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden about joining Aaron Glenn’s staff.

New York Jets Flight Connections 01/30/26

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 […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets pivoted quickly to hire a defensive coordinator after a reported Wink Martindale deal fell through.

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. It’s not surprising Engstrand is gone after word got out he was going to be relieved of his play calling duties. What is concerning is that it took Aaron Glenn more than three […]

Nobody seems to know much about the 2026 Jets coaching staff

We are more than three weeks removed from the end of the 2025 season, but numerous key positions on the Jets coaching staff remain unfilled.

Potential Offensive Coordinator candidates if Jets demote Tanner Engstrand

Friday night it was reported the New York Jets were making a whole host of moves to their coaching staff.

Those were the headline grabbing pieces of […]

NFL Mock Draft: Senior Bowl Week

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? Could they overdraft on offense? And of course, the big question, will the Jets still draft a quarterback? As always, this mock draft […]

Rumor: Jets interested in Tyrod Taylor reunion

The Jets head into the 2026 offseason with a massive question mark at quarterback. While most teams are simply searching for a starter, the Jets realistically need to fill two (and possibly three depending on what they decide to do with Brady Cook ) quarterback spots, with Tyrod Taylor’s contract set to expire. That said, […]

How Can Parcells Help Glenn in 2026?

By the end of the Jets’ disastrous 2025 season, the noise would be deafening. Same headlines, same arguments, same familiar question. How does this keep happening?

Jets fire multiple assistant coaches

The Jets have fired multiple assistant coaches according to reports. None of this comes as a major surprise. It is common for a rookie head coach to make changes to his staff after the first year, particularly when that first year goes poorly.
