NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It looks like the Jets may get their first choice for offensive coordinator.
According to the NFL Network, New York has put in a formal request to interview Miami Dolphins assistant Dowell Loggains.
The person ultimately hired will not call plays, as new head coach Adam Gase has made it clear that responsibility will fall on him, but the next top assistant will almost certainly play a big role in the development of Sam Darnold, mostly because the Jets do not plan to hire a quarterbacks coach.
Loggains, 38, has held various positions with four different teams since breaking into the NFL coaching ranks with Tennessee in 2008.
