New Offensive Coordinators for 2026
There were 21 new offensive coordinators hired this NFL offseason. That’s a jaw-droppingly high number of new people and new offensive schemes being overhauled in 2026. The following is a quick recap of what we know and what they could bring to the table.
Nathaniel Hackett
Cardinals Offensive Coordinator
Nathaniel Hackett arrives in Arizona carrying both a redemption story and a serious offensive pedigree. After a disastrous 4-11 debut as Denver’s head coach in 2022, Hackett took the unusual step of returning to an assistant role, serving as a defensive analyst in Green Bay in 2025. Now he reunites with Mike LaFleur, whose brother Matt LaFleur he worked with for years in Green Bay. Hackett brings extensive OC experience across Buffalo, Jacksonville, Green Bay, and the Jets, with a reputation as a creative play designer and strong relationship builder. The Cardinals are betting that the right structure around him unlocks his best work.
Tommy Rees
Falcons Offensive Coordinator
Tommy Rees is a rising offensive mind who followed head coach Kevin Stefanski from Cleveland to Atlanta this offseason. Rees, a former Notre Dame quarterback and two-time All-American, transitioned into coaching and quickly built a reputation as an innovative playcaller with a strong grasp of the modern passing game. After developing tight ends and working as a quarterbacks coach, Rees stepped into the OC role with the Browns in 2025 and showed impressive instincts. In Atlanta, he inherits a retooled offense and will need to maximize the considerable weapons around him while helping establish the Falcons as a legitimate offensive threat.
Declan Doyle
Ravens Offensive Coordinator
Declan Doyle steps into one of the most coveted offensive coordinator jobs in football, tasked with designing schemes around two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and bruising back Derrick Henry. Doyle spent the 2025 season as Chicago’s offensive coordinator under Ben Johnson, gaining valuable experience running a high-tempo, scheme-diverse attack. Now, under defensive-minded head coach Jesse Minter, Doyle is expected to have significant autonomy in calling plays, a major draw. His work with Johnson’s system in Chicago gave him exposure to cutting-edge offensive concepts. Whether he can translate that into Baltimore’s existing strengths will define his tenure from day one.
Pete Carmichael Jr.
Bills Offensive Coordinator
Pete Carmichael Jr. brings a wealth of NFL experience to Buffalo after a long and successful tenure as the New Orleans Saints’ offensive coordinator under Sean Payton. Carmichael was instrumental in building one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses in New Orleans, known for precise route-running, smart play-action design, and effective use of the tight end. After a year as Denver’s senior offensive assistant, he now joins new Bills head coach Joe Brady. Brady will lean on Carmichael’s depth of experience to shape a Buffalo offense built around Josh Allen’s elite dual-threat ability and one of the league’s most talented supporting casts.
Press Taylor
Bears Offensive Coordinator
Press Taylor’s promotion to offensive coordinator in Chicago is a natural extension of his growing reputation as one of the NFL’s sharper young minds. Taylor spent previous seasons working closely with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia, developing a strong understanding of quarterback-driven spread concepts and tempo-based attack. After joining Ben Johnson’s staff as passing game coordinator in 2025, Taylor absorbed Johnson’s forward-thinking approach to the passing game. Now elevated to OC, he will need to carry considerable offensive responsibility with Johnson running the program as head coach. His ability to adapt and problem-solve with Chicago’s young roster will be closely watched.
Travis Switzer
Browns Offensive Coordinator
Travis Switzer was named the Browns’ offensive coordinator on February 20, 2026. Switzer spent nine seasons with the Ravens, the last three as run game coordinator under head coach Todd Monken, who now brings him to Cleveland in the same building role.
During that stretch in Baltimore, the Ravens led the NFL in rushing yards per game (166.9), rush average (5.31 yards), and rushes of at least 10 yards (230). The 2024 Ravens became the first team in NFL history to eclipse 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in the same season.
Monken was direct about what drew him to Switzer. “He was our run game coordinator, and that’s where it all starts with your ability to run the football,” Monken said. “He’s intentional, he’s intelligent, and he can teach.”
Before coaching, Switzer played center at the University of Akron, making 36 consecutive starts and earning Academic All-MAC honors twice.
Davis Webb
Broncos Offensive Coordinator
Davis Webb is one of the most intriguing first-time offensive coordinators in the league heading into 2026. The former NFL quarterback, who spent time with the Giants and Bills before transitioning to coaching, has developed a strong relationship with Bo Nix during his time as Denver’s quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. Sean Payton’s decision to promote Webb internally signals genuine confidence in his football intellect and connection with the signal-caller. Webb is known as a meticulous film student with sharp instincts for quarterback development. The question is whether his play-design imagination matches his reputation when managing a full gameday offense.
Drew Petzing
Lions Offensive Coordinator
Drew Petzing arrives in Detroit with three seasons of offensive coordinator experience in Arizona, where he guided a young Cardinals offense through a competitive rebuild. Despite only being 36 years old, Petzing brings 16 years of coaching experience, including stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns under Kevin Stefanski, where he built a reputation as a versatile offensive architect. His tenure in Arizona showed an ability to develop young quarterbacks and adapt play-calling to roster constraints. Dan Campbell’s Lions will count on Petzing to maintain offensive continuity after losing previous staff members to head-coaching opportunities, and early reports suggest a seamless fit.
Eric Bieniemy
Chiefs Offensive Coordinator
Eric Bieniemy’s return to Kansas City feels like a homecoming and a redemption. After spending 2018 through 2022 as a key architect of the Chiefs’ dynasty alongside Patrick Mahomes, Bieniemy moved on to Washington as OC in 2023 before a surprising move to Chicago as a running backs coach in 2025. Now back in Kansas City, he reunites with Mahomes and Andy Reid to close the circle on an unfinished chapter. Bieniemy is an intense, detail-oriented coordinator who thrives in structured environments. Whether his return reinvigorates the Chiefs’ offense or complicates the quarterback-coordinator dynamic will be one of the season’s most compelling storylines.
Andrew Janocko
Raiders Offensive Coordinator
Andrew Janocko is making his NFL offensive coordinator debut in Las Vegas after arriving alongside new head coach Klint Kubiak from Seattle, where he served as the Seahawks’ quarterbacks coach in 2025. Janocko is considered a sharp football mind with strong quarterback-development instincts, and his familiarity with Kubiak’s system should help him quickly install a coherent offensive identity. The Raiders need a fresh direction after years of offensive inconsistency, and Janocko’s first-time coordinator role is a significant leap. He will be judged immediately on his ability to elevate the Raiders’ quarterback situation and design an attack that keeps defenses off-balance.
Mike McDaniel
Chargers Offensive Coordinator
Mike McDaniel’s move from Dolphins head coach to Chargers offensive coordinator is the most fascinating role reversal of the 2026 offseason. A Kyle Shanahan disciple and one of the most creative run-game designers in the league, McDaniel will now operate under Jim Harbaugh, whose structured program should give McDaniel the support system to focus purely on offensive innovation. McDaniel’s hallmark is deceptive pre-snap motion, zone-blocking concepts, and layered play-action designs. Working with an established quarterback and a talented receiving corps, he has genuine upside as a coordinator. Expect the Chargers offense to be one of the most schematically interesting in football.
Nate Scheelhaase
Rams Offensive Coordinator
Nate Scheelhaase’s rise to offensive coordinator in Los Angeles is a testament to how quickly he has impressed football people around the league. A former quarterback at Illinois and Iowa State, Scheelhaase only joined the Rams’ staff in 2024 as an offensive assistant before being elevated to passing game coordinator in 2025. His meteoric rise drew head-coaching interest from multiple teams before he was retained as Sean McVay’s OC, high praise for someone with such limited coordinator experience. Scheelhaase is considered a bright, adaptable offensive mind who should grow into the role. Working alongside McVay in an established system is an ideal landing spot.
Bobby Slowik
Dolphins Offensive Coordinator
Bobby Slowik returns to a play-calling role with the Dolphins after previously serving as Houston’s offensive coordinator under DeMeco Ryans in 2023 and 2024. A trusted member of the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree, Slowik brings structured zone-run concepts and sophisticated play-action design to Miami’s offense. After a year as the Dolphins’ passing game coordinator in 2025, his promotion to OC under new head coach Jeff Hafley keeps him on an upward trajectory. Slowik’s challenge is building a coherent offensive identity around Miami’s current roster, which lacks the elite pass-catching weapons that Shanahan-style offenses typically require. His ability to scheme around those constraints will define the season.
Matt Nagy
Giants Offensive Coordinator
Matt Nagy brings an extensive coaching resume to the New York Giants, where he will coordinate an offense for new head coach John Harbaugh. Nagy won NFL Coach of the Year in 2018 during his first season leading the Chicago Bears, and spent three seasons as Kansas City’s offensive coordinator, helping construct the early framework of the Chiefs’ dynasty with Patrick Mahomes. A creative play-designer with a strong command of the West Coast offense, Nagy will look to rebuild offensive confidence in New York after years of underwhelming production. His biggest task is maximizing the talent around him and establishing a clear offensive identity from the opening week.
Frank Reich
Jets Offensive Coordinator
Frank Reich’s arrival as the Jets’ offensive coordinator marks a notable pivot following turbulent head-coaching stints in Indianapolis and Carolina. Reich won the NFL’s Coach of the Year award in 2018 with the Colts and built a reputation as a smart, quarterback-friendly offensive mind. After a brief stint as Stanford’s interim head coach in 2025, he joins Aaron Glenn’s staff in New York, returning to the coordinator role he thrived in with the Buffalo Bills years ago. Reich’s comfort in structured systems and his ability to manage quarterbacks under pressure should benefit the Jets. The key is how quickly he can establish chemistry and rhythm with the offense.
Sean Mannion
Eagles Offensive Coordinator
Sean Mannion steps into one of the NFL’s most demanding offensive coordinator jobs, inheriting Jalen Hurts and a talented Eagles offense that has been near the top of the league in recent years. Mannion, a former NFL quarterback drafted by the Rams in 2015, transitioned into coaching and spent 2025 as the Green Bay Packers’ quarterbacks coach, earning strong reviews for his player development work. While his coordinator experience is limited, Mannion brings a quarterback’s understanding of protection, timing, and coverage manipulation. In Philadelphia, his ability to quickly build trust with Hurts and maintain the offense’s high standard will be critical.
Brian Angelichio
Steelers Offensive Coordinator
Brian Angelichio arrives in Pittsburgh as one of the quieter but intriguing coordinator hires of the 2026 offseason. Angelichio spent the past several seasons with the Minnesota Vikings as tight ends coach and pass game coordinator, developing a strong reputation for his ability to design creative usage for receiving tight ends and layer passing concepts within pro-style frameworks. Under new head coach Mike McCarthy, himself a renowned offensive strategist, Angelichio will have strong support and a clean structural environment to operate in. The Steelers’ offense has been a work in progress for several seasons, and Angelichio’s assignment is to bring cohesion, creativity, and a decisive offensive identity.
Brian Fleury
Seahawks Offensive Coordinator
Brian Fleury is a Shanahan-tree product, making his offensive coordinator debut in Seattle, arriving after several seasons with the San Francisco 49ers as tight ends coach and run game coordinator. Fleury’s work in San Francisco gave him extensive exposure to one of the most sophisticated offensive systems in football, and his run-game expertise in particular is expected to translate well to Seattle’s personnel. Under defensive-minded head coach Mike Macdonald, Fleury will have significant offensive autonomy. His ability to implement zone-blocking principles, use the tight end position creatively, and develop a functional passing game alongside the run will determine whether Seattle can become a legitimate offensive threat.
Zac Robinson
Offensive Coordinator Buccaneers
Zac Robinson takes over as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator after two seasons running Atlanta’s offense, where he developed a reputation for creative play-design and a willingness to push the envelope in the passing game. Robinson, who previously worked with the Los Angeles Rams before joining Atlanta, carries the influence of Sean McVay’s system into his coordinator approach — emphasizing motion, pre-snap deception, and diverse route combinations. Now working under Todd Bowles in Tampa, Robinson inherits an established offense with genuine playmakers. His challenge is bringing a more modern schematic identity to the Buccaneers while maximizing the offensive talent already on the roster.
Brian Daboll
Titans Offensive Coordinator
Brian Daboll’s decision to step back into a coordinator role after four seasons as the Giants’ head coach is one of the offseason’s most compelling storylines. Daboll won Coach of the Year honors in 2022, guiding New York to the playoffs in his first season, and his reputation as a quarterback developer, built during his time with Josh Allen in Buffalo, remains elite. Now under Robert Saleh in Tennessee, Daboll will have the freedom to rebuild his career on his own terms. His ability to design creative offensive structures and maximize his quarterback’s abilities should give the Titans a significant boost in offensive competence and confidence.
David Blough
Commanders Offensive Coordinator
David Blough’s promotion to offensive coordinator in Washington is one of the boldest calls of the 2026 cycle. A former backup quarterback who spent time with the Lions, Browns, and Cardinals, Blough transitioned into coaching and served as the Commanders’ assistant quarterbacks coach in 2024 and 2025. His in-the-trenches understanding of quarterback mechanics and pre-snap reads gives him a genuine connection with the position, and Dan Quinn has spoken highly of his football intelligence and communication ability. The concern is experience — Blough has never called plays at the NFL level before. If he can translate his detailed preparation into clear, decisive in-game decision-making, the upside is considerable.
