Perhaps the ball\u2019s in newly-minted offensive coordinator Frank Reich\u2019s court, with help from quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave. <\/p>\n

Glenn, Mougey, Reich, and Musgrave were all a part of the Jets\u2019 deep-rolling contingent that attended the Alabama pro day that featured quarterback prospect Ty Simpson.<\/p>\n
