Jets To Hire Dowell Loggains As OC

The Dolphins have granted permission for offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains to speak with other teams and won’t stop him from leaving the organization, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. With that roadblock out of the way, he is expected to become the Jets’ offensive coordinator under new head coach Adam Gase

Loggains worked under Gase both in Chicago and Miami, so it’s no surprise to hear that he’ll be joining Gase in New York. Still, Gase is expected to be the offensive play-caller for the Jets.

Loggains, 38, also coordinated the offense for the Titans, but he’s never led an offense which ranked better than 19th in scoring. His 2016 Bears offense ranked 15th in yardage, but no other unit under his command has finished better than 22nd in that metric.

Still, the longtime assistant is well-respected around the league and the Dolphins even interviewed him for their head coaching vacancy this offseason. At one point, it seemed like the Dolphins might try to keep him as an assistant, but new Fins HC Brian Flores probably has a different lieutenant in mind.
