After a disastrous 2025 season, the New York Jets are expected to make coaching changes.
While the man in charge, Aaron Glenn, will be sticking around, changes to his staff are expected.
We already know that a new defensive coordinator is on his way. However, there are also three assistant coaches whom Glenn should send packing this offseason.
Charles London, Quarterbacks coach
From the beginning, the Jetsโ decision to hire London as quarterbacks coach was eyebrow-raising. There was no prior connection to Glenn, and no real evidence on London’s resume that screamed “QB guru.”
London, 51, spent most of his coaching career in the running backs room before shifting to quarterbacks in 2021. Since then, the signal-callers under his watch have not shown significant growth, across stints with the Falcons (2021-22), Titans (2023), and Seahawks (2024). That trend continued in New York.
With veterans like Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor leading the Jets’ QB room this year, the quarterback coach was never going to significantly impact the team’s results.
However, this offseason will change that.
The Jets are expected to invest in a young quarterback this offseason, and whoever holds the quarterback coach role will directly influence the rookie’s development. That makes the role too important to get wrong.
London hasnโt shown enough to prove that heโs up to the task.
Eric Washington, Defensive line coach
Washington was brought in this offseason due to his connection to defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. Now that Wilks is fired and his unit significantly underperformed, it would make little sense to retain him under a new defensive coordinator.
While second-year defensive tackle Jowon Briggs took a major leap in his first year under Washington, the Jets’ prized first-round edge rushers lost a step. Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald failed to meet expectations (although Johnson was coming off an Achilles tear).
With Wilks gone and most of the defensive line showing noticeable regression, it makes little sense to grant Washington a second year after he went one-and-done as the Chicago Bears’ defensive coordinator in 2024.
Aaron Curry, Linebackers coach
No position group on the Jetsโ roster took a bigger step back than the linebacker unit. After signing a three-year extension worth up to $45 million last offseason, team captain Jamien Sherwood went from one of the leagueโs most productive linebackers to a liability in coverage who was benched at one point.
The drop-off extended beyond one player. Former All-Pro Quincy Williams also regressed mightily, posting a 35.2 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus that ranked 55th out of 59 qualified linebackers, a steep decline for a player once viewed as one of the team’s core pieces.
The struggles unfolded under Curry, and he certainly deserves to bear some of the blame.
