The New York Jets are hitting the reset button on offense - and they’re doing it with experience, structure, and a clear plan in mind.
After a 2025 season that can only be described as a disappointment on the offensive side of the ball, the Jets have officially overhauled their offensive coaching staff. The team announced a full slate of hires on Tuesday, signaling a fresh direction heading into 2026.
Here's the new-look Jets offensive staff:
- Offensive Coordinator: Frank Reich
- Passing Game Coordinator: Seth Ryan
- Quarterbacks Coach: Bill Musgrave
- Offensive Assistant/Assistant QBs: Thomas Merkle
- Tight Ends Coach: Alfredo Roberts
- Assistant Offensive Line Coach: Al Netter
- Offensive Assistant: Matthew Sargent
Some of these names had already been circulating in reports, but now it’s all official. And the headliner here? That’s longtime NFL veteran Bill Musgrave stepping in as the new quarterbacks coach.
At 58, Musgrave brings a deep well of NFL experience to the Jets' sideline. Most recently, he coached quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns in 2025, but his résumé runs far deeper.
He’s held offensive coordinator roles with four different teams - the Broncos, Raiders, Vikings, and Jaguars - dating back to the early 2000s. That’s a lot of playbooks, a lot of quarterbacks, and a lot of lessons learned along the way.
Pair that with Frank Reich, another seasoned football mind who’s now steering the offense as coordinator, and you’ve got a duo with decades of NFL experience between them. For a franchise that’s struggled to find consistency under center, that kind of leadership could be exactly what the Jets need to stabilize and grow at the quarterback position - whoever ends up taking the snaps this fall.
Seth Ryan, who steps in as passing game coordinator, adds another layer to the air attack. And the staff is rounded out with a trio of assistants - Thomas Merkle, Al Netter, and Matthew Sargent - who all followed Reich from Stanford, suggesting there’s already some built-in chemistry and alignment in the offensive room.
Alfredo Roberts, now coaching tight ends, brings further positional expertise to a group that will be leaned on more heavily depending on how the new system takes shape.
This isn’t just a shuffle. It’s a complete retooling of the offensive brain trust. And after a season where the Jets’ offense struggled to find rhythm, identity, or production, this kind of reset feels both necessary and promising.
Now, the focus shifts to the field - and to the quarterback room. With Reich and Musgrave at the helm, the Jets are banking on veteran minds to bring clarity, structure, and hopefully, results.
