NFL News Schefter: 21 of 32 teams have new offensive coordinators heading into 2026

[UrbanCowboy]

“Pass-game” coordinator? Isn’t that the OC or QB coach’s job?

overseas [edit: oversees] the fullback pass-blocking assistant coach(es) among other things

 

[Water Boy]

Fortunately for us we have the best one not on the market....

I hope JMcD self scouts his Super Bowl. Granted Maye's shoulder was a huge issue, but disappointing lack of adjustments.

And I would like to see a lot more of the short passing game in 2026.

Highly agree.. not making excuses but the shoulder definitely played a part.. but the short passing game was non existent. No check downs dump off to the back.. end arounds... the left side of the line chose the superbowl to play their worse game of the season..

The left side was pretty bad all post-season and that is how Seattle knew to exploit it. Not unique to the SB.

Absolutely correct! As for me it was always go back to to conversation of will Campbell not being healthy and was a detriment more than a help to the team.

Not now a day. They also have run game coordinators and they have run and pass game coordinators on the defensive side as well.

Just a reminder: in most of his games, Maye only threw more than 10 yards downfield about 10-12 times a game. He just needs to turn some of those "holding the ball" sacks into shorter plays. [IMO It'd help if they used Chism more, since he seems well-suited for that role.]

I agree except for the Chism stuff. I would agree that we need a quick slot receiver that fits McDaniels' system, but Chism is not that guy IMO.

He could be. We don't know.
He's a rookie who barely played.

Some of us know. Some of us don't.

He should never return another kickoff though, I'll say that much, I've seen enough of that.

well that should make the primary coaches jobs a little easier

In theory, but I worry that there might be to many chefs in the kitchen.

Not sure if you misunderstood. There were 21 total teams that replaced their OC across the whole league. 11 out of those 21 were in one conference and the other 10 were in the other conference.
