Young NFL offensive coordinators prepare for play-calling duties this season

Several NFL teams have appointed first-time offensive coordinators in their early 30s to lead their play-calling duties for the 2026 season. Among the new group are Davis Webb of the Denver Broncos, Declan Doyle of the Baltimore Ravens, Brad Idzik of the Carolina Panthers, and Tommy Rees of the Atlanta Falcons. Grant Udinski holds the position for the Jacksonville Jaguars at age 30, though head coach Liam Coen retains primary play-calling control for that team. These coordinators bring varied experience to their roles, ranging from former backup quarterbacks to long-term protégés of veteran head coaches. Teams are looking to these assistants to provide stability and offensive improvement as the regular season schedule begins. Each coordinator is currently managing the transition from planning sessions to live game execution.
