Aaron Glenn has now completed re-building his offensive coaching staff and it’s a clear pivot from his first effort. Relying heavily on a young, unproven and inexperienced group, Glenn has blown it up after just one year and is now leaning heavily on proven, experienced coaches in its most important spots.
Bill Musgrave has been named as the team’s quarterbacks coach following the departure of running back turned QB coach Charles London. While London brought a history of no success to the role, Musgrave has worked with the likes of Matt Ryan, Derek Carr, Michael Vick and Nick Foles. He becomes the latest key coach with tons of experience that Glenn has added.
Musgrave will work under offensive coordinator Frank Reich, who has had plenty of success as a coordinator as he produced two top ten offenses (2015, 2017) to go along with his six seasons as a head coach with the Colts and Panthers. This is in addition to the hiring of tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts.
So now the Jets offense goes from a rookie offensive coordinator in Tanner Engstrand, an out-of-place QB coach in Charles London and a rookie tight ends coach who lasted one season, to three established veterans who have had success at multiple stops in multiple roles. This year’s staff compared to last year’s is night and day.
Then of course there’s the addition of Karl Dunbar on the defensive side of the ball where he’ll coach the lineman. Dunbar is no stranger to Jets fans after working under Rex Ryan while the team developed the likes of Mo Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Damon “Snacks” Harrison.
