Former Chargers coach among finalists for Jets OC position

The Jets are currently looking to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy, and former Chargers OC Greg Roman is among the three finalists. Roman emerged as a lead candidate following virtual interviews to replace Tanner Engstrand, who was fired this past week.

Los Angeles parted ways with Roman after two seasons.

In 2024, Roman's first year, the Chargers' offense improved significantly from the prior regime, jumping to 11th in points scored from 21st in 2023. It ranked 13th in EPA, rising to 7th from Weeks 6-18 as the unit adapted to the run-heavy scheme amid quarterback Justin Herbert's injuries.

In 2025, the offense regressed in efficiency, finishing No. 18 in passing and No. 22 in points per game. Herbert threw for 3,727 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, but was sacked 54 times (second-most in the NFL) and hit 129 times.

The results in the playoffs were lackluster. In their two postseason losses during Roman's tenure, the Chargers scored only one touchdown on 22 total possessions.
