Frank Reich is headed back to the NFL. After some smoke connecting him to the Jets , the former Panthers and Colts head coach is heading to New York as their new offensive coordinator under Aaron Glenn, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Last year, Reich went 4-8 this past season as the interim head coach of Stanford , basically done as a favor to his former quarterback  Andrew Luck , the school’s general manager. Prior to taking the Jets job, Reich transitioned into a senior advisory role with the school, but that won’t be the case any longer.

As mentioned, Reich was the head coach of the Colts (2018-22), coaching Luck that first year. He led the team to two playoff appearances but no further than the NFL Divisional Round in ’18. Reich finished 40-33-1 with the Colts, but he went just 1-10 with the Panthers in 2023 before being fired prior to the end of his first year.

Moreover, Reich achieved widespread acclaim for his work with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016 and ’17 under Doug Pederson . After coming over from the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator, Reich took on the same role and eventually helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LII.

Along the way, Reich helped develop  Carson Wentz  into an MVP candidate in 2017. However, things did not work out as a head coach for the former  Maryland and Buffalo Bills signal caller.

Nevertheless, Reich engineered two of the most famous comebacks in football as a player. He came off the bench for Stan Gelbaugh against Miami in 1984, overcoming a 31-0 deficit to win 42-40.
