Jets hire Loggains as offensive coordinator
Where Adam Gase goes, Dowell Loggains typically isn't far behind. The two coaches were reunited Wednesday when the New York Jets hired Loggains as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Gase's staff.
Loggains, 38, was Gase's offensive coordinator last season with the Miami Dolphins. In 2015, Loggains was the quarterbacks coach and Gase was the offensive coordinator on coach John Fox's staff with the Chicago Bears. The Jets hired Gase two weeks ago to replace Todd Bowles, who was fired after four seasons and zero playoff appearances.
Loggains interviewed for the Dolphins' head coaching vacancy, which is expected to be filled by New England Patriots defensive play-caller Brian Flores after the Super Bowl. Loggains becomes the Jets' fourth offensive coordinator in as many years, following Chan Gailey, John Morton and Jeremy Bates.
Loggains and Gase have had some success working together. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler completed 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,659 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2015. In 11 games last season, Miami's Ryan Tannehill completed 64.2 percent of his passes with a 17-to-9 touchdown-to-INT ratio. --Field Level Media
