Offensive Coordinator Search Continues For Jets & Giants

02 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What challenges are the Jets and Giants facing in their offensive coordinator search?

0.031 - 26.614 Gio

Things not going to plan exactly with the Jets and the Giants and their offensive coordinator search as you have the Giants now after Todd Munkin taking the head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns, reaching out to Bill Callahan. which is something that is interesting. Now, Bill has been around for a very, very long time. He's one of these offensive line coaches, offensive coordinators.

26.674 - 40.36 Gio

He loves to run the ball. You'll remember how he was the head coach of the Raiders when Gruden ended up... Beating him as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But it doesn't feel like something that would get you fired up, would it?

0

40.881 - 46.812 Boomer

A Bill Callahan hire. This will be, after John Harbaugh, the most important hire that they make.

0

Chapter 2: Who is Bill Callahan and what does he bring to the table?

47.373 - 69.448 Boomer

Because they do have what I think is going to be a star at quarterback. And whoever is that person that is responsible for his performance... whether it be quarterback coach, offense coordinator, really should be the both. That quarterback coach should be the offense coordinator, and they should be working together every single day, and they need to get the most out of him.

70.069 - 92.925 Boomer

So I don't want to disparage anybody in their coaching background or their resume, and Bill Callahan's resume, believe me, is a mile long, and there's a lot of respect that goes along with that. I'm thinking younger. Now, Todd Munkin was 60, but I also saw what he did with Lamar Jackson. And Lamar Jackson had two of his best years under Todd Munkin calling plays for him.

0

93.686 - 109.196 Boomer

So this is a really, really important hire, as we all know. And I'm sure John Harbaugh realizes that. And that's why, if it were me, I'd probably be leaning towards Cliff Kingsbury. Oh, it's Brian Callahan, not Bill Callahan.

0

109.216 - 111.842 Gio

So CeeLo said Bill Callahan.

0

111.862 - 112.483 Boomer

Yeah, he's wrong.

112.543 - 114.447 Gio

He screwed me up with Brian Callahan.

114.487 - 115.89 Boomer

So Brian Callahan is the ex.

115.91 - 125.229 Gio

I was like, Bill Callahan? And then you made a face during the update when he said it. And I was like, huh? And then I'm like, Bill Callahan. So it's Cliff Kingsbury and Brian Callahan.

125.25 - 143.269 Boomer

And Brian Callahan, the ex-head coach of the Titans, who was with the Bengals prior to that. Jesus. He was essentially the quarterback, coach, offensive, I guess, past coordinator, I think, of the Bengals. So they obviously had a lot of success, and they beat the – remember, they beat the Titans in a playoff game where –

Chapter 3: Why is the offensive coordinator hire crucial for the Jets' quarterback development?

159.662 - 181.422 Gio

All right, so Cliff Kingsbury is the other one. Brian Callahan, those two at this point. Cliff Kingsbury, which is interesting to me because... Here you have a situation where he's the offensive coordinator for Jaden Daniels, who is the talk of the NFL. Absolute talk of the NFL, Jaden Daniels and his rookie season. They go to the championship game, for God's sakes.

0

181.944 - 203.876 Gio

The connection of McLaurin and Daniels is fantastic. Then they come back, Jaden Daniels is hurt, plays just a handful of games, and bang, Cliff Kingsbury is gone, just like that. It almost reminded me a little bit of the Bobby Slowik situation with the Texans, where Bobby Slowik is the talk of the town with C.J. Stroud in his rookie season.

0

204.536 - 215.249 Gio

Second year happens, there's a regression, bang, Bobby Slowik is gone. So the Kingsbury thing, I'm... I'm intrigued, but I don't understand why they moved on so quickly.

0

215.269 - 242.14 Boomer

Well, he coached Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech. Colin Murray in Arizona. And then, of course, Jaden Daniels. So those are three young quarterbacks that he has coached that all have had a modicum of success at some point in their career when he coached them. So does that make sense? Makes a ton of sense. Again, I think it's going to come down to personality.

0

242.238 - 246.358 Boomer

It's going to come down to John Harbaugh wanting somebody he could trust.

246.44 - 252.726 Gio

Yeah. I mean, and also you're not going to get a lot of information. It's not like John Harbaugh can call Dan Quinn now that he's in the division.

252.786 - 279.912 Boomer

But here's the one thing I just want to say, again, about the Northeast. Whether you have a Drake May, you have, and I would consider Washington, obviously on the East Coast, cold-weather games down there. I want somebody who's got a quality running game. I want somebody like Clint Kubiak, who is going to be run first, block it up, and let the quarterback throw the ball down the field.

280.613 - 298.519 Boomer

And both the Patriots and the Seahawks are very similar in that regard. They both have two running backs, but obviously Charbonnet is hurt for Seattle. But they run the ball first. They run it at least 50% of the times. Cliff Kingsbury has always been known more as a passing guru.

298.499 - 309.197 Gio

Sure. You also want a pair. This is the reason why I know you said you wanted younger, but I like the Todd Munkin thing because obviously the history that him and John Harbaugh had and then what the results they got out of Lamar Jackson.

Chapter 4: What makes Cliff Kingsbury a potential candidate for the Jets?

393.416 - 411.96 Gio

And now, all of a sudden, they're bringing in another veteran offensive coordinator interview, and that is Greg Roman, who was most recently with... Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers and also was with John Harbaugh and the Ravens prior to that. And now he is someone that Aaron Glenn is talking to.

0

412.08 - 424.137 Gio

So you said earlier that you didn't have an update with Frank, but this seems odd to me because things were trending in a certain direction with Frank. And that was positively as far as him being named the offensive coordinator. Now they're bringing in Greg Roman.

0

424.252 - 435.763 Boomer

Yeah, I don't know. Contract snag? Yeah, I don't know. I can't tell you. I wish I could. I wish I could give you some insight as to what's going on, and I can't.

0

436.672 - 452.479 Gio

But I think on the surface, seeing Greg Roman come in and interview feels like something happened in the negotiations with Frank. From my just assessing the situation, and I think many people can deduce that.

0

452.659 - 471.495 Boomer

Well, what I think I see is I think whoever the offensive coordinator is is going to want to bring in a couple coaches along with him. Yeah. Right. They're going to be able to they're going to want to be able to speak his language, teach his system and make sure that everybody's on the same page.

471.535 - 484.33 Boomer

And the more allies you have in the most important positions on the coaching staff that you are trying to teach is very helpful. So I don't know that could be part of the snafu here if there is a snafu.

484.883 - 492.639 Gio

Okay. Yeah, I mean, that is so got to bring this guy, got to bring that guy. Well, this person's here who we like. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

492.659 - 507.711 Boomer

I mean, there's all sorts of things that are probably going on. But, you know, again, the Jets are... The one thing I will say, whether we like it or not, again, this also could be run by Rick Spielman, who's still a part of the Jets. He is a senior advisor for the Jets.

507.891 - 511.657 Gio

Yeah, he was with the 33rd team and then stuck as an advisor.

Chapter 5: How does Greg Roman fit into the Jets' offensive strategy?

652.857 - 659.484 Gio

Greg Roman, Jets offensive coordinator. They need a quarterback. Colin Kaepernick. What do you think?

0

659.764 - 660.685 Boomer

Yeah, no, I don't think so.

0

660.806 - 665.25 Gio

Al, what do you think about this? So Greg Roman's going to come in. Colin Kaepernick will be the quarterback for the Jets.

0

665.27 - 665.891 Boomer

Oh, that'd be great.

0

665.911 - 696.01 Gio

That'd be perfect, right? Yeah. Let's get the calls up. I think they've got two options, in my opinion, the Jets. Deshaun Watson or Colin Kaepernick. Okay. Those are the two guys. Not Kirk Cousins? No, no, no. For our purposes, absolutely not. Okay, no. Okay. For our purposes. Yeah, I do want them to win. I do want them to be successful. But I just... God. The phones will bust and blow forever.
