Nick Caley

SNY’s Connor Hughes reports Rams pass game coordinator and tight ends coach Nick Caley “is certainly atop” Aaron Glenn’s list for the Jets’ offensive coordinator vacancy.

Hughes also said Caley “is the latest... branch off of the [Sean] McVay tree that’s probably in line to eventually get a head coaching job.” McVay’s former understudies hold myriad high-profile roles across the league so it is hardly surprising to hear yet another NFL team hopes to hire McVay’s current pass game coordinator. Hughes notes Caley’s superior, OC Mike LaFleur, was fired by the Jets after a 2021-2022 stint. Hughes indicated he does not expect LaFleur to give Caley “a ringing endorsement for what it’s like to” work in the Jets’ organization. The potential opportunity to advance his career while playing for a highly respected coach like Glenn could outweigh LaFleur’s theoretical warnings though. We will report back with new information.
