Report: New York Jets Hire New Passing-Game Coordinator cover image

The New York Jets have a new passing-game coordinator.

The New York Jets have hired Seth Ryan as their new passing-game coordinator, according to ESPN

Seth is the son of Rex Ryan and the grandson of Buddy Ryan. He's replacing Scott Turner, who was fired two weeks ago.

The Jets haven't made the playoffs since 2010, Rex's second season as head coach. He is now an ESPN analyst.

New York went 3-14 in Year 1 of the Aaron Glenn era. They have the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and are expected to select a QB. 

The Jets' offense was a walking disaster this season. They were 29th in the NFL in points per game and 32nd in passing yards. 

New York started three QBs in 2025: Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and Brady Cook. The three QBs combined for 2,777 passing yards and 14 touchdown passes.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers -- who was released by the Jets after Glenn was hired -- finished the 2025 season with 3,322 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

The Jets hired Frank Reich to be their offensive coordinator. Reich replaces Tanner Engstrand.

"Frank has a rare combination of experience, creativity, and calm under pressure," Glenn said. "He's lived this game from every angle — as a quarterback in this league and as a coach who's led offenses at the highest level. He is unique in his ability to see the game for what it is right now and adapt when appropriate. Frank understands offense and how to utilize the strengths of players. I am looking forward to how he will help this team have success."

Even though Glenn's first year in New York was a disaster, he will not be fired. The Jets signed Glenn to a five-year contract last offseason.

"I understand what everybody on the outside is saying," Glenn said. "I'm going to take all those arrows, and that's OK, because I do know this: It's going to turn. And I'm confident in that. ... Just trust me. I know it's hard to say, but trust me and have faith in what we're doing."

If Glenn doesn't do well in Year 2, he could be fired next offseason.
