New England Patriots tight ends coach Nick Caley will not become the next offensive coordinator of the New York Jets.
While Caley did interview for the open position last week, the Jets organization decided to go in a different direction. As they announced on Thursday, former Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett will become their new offensive coordinator.
What this means for Caley remains to be seen. The 40-year-old spent the last eight years in New England, including six in his current role as TE coach. However, despite his experience as the club’s longest-tenured assistant on the offensive side of the ball, the Patriots decided against making him their own coordinator in back-to-back offseasons.
