32. Experienced coordinators tend to have the most success when they finally get their shot at the big chair. Harold Goodwin has positioned himself for just that. He’s been offensive coordinator for the Cardinals since 2013, during which time he’s had lots of success. Even before that as an assistant in Pittsburgh and Chicago he was finding ways to excel. The man is a polished product, ready to take that next step. His offensive line background should help with protection and he’s learned from Bruce Arians what it takes to coax top play from the quarterback.. OC. Arizona. Harold Goodwin . 10. player

Jim Bob Cooter has had his hand in the peak success of two notable quarterbacks over the past four years. In 2013 he helped Peyton Manning set every record in the book including 55 touchdown passes. Since taking over as offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford has emerged from pure stat machine to genuine franchise quarterback. Though Cooter is still quite young and has his fair share of question marks regarding his offense in general, the fact is he’s proven he can at least get the best performance from a quarterback.. OC.

Considering the amount of talent on the roster and where expectations were a few months ago, the New York Jets have greatly overachieved in 2017. Much of that is due to how well the offense has played. Granted it hasn’t been electric but whenever they’ve had to make a play Josh McCown and that ragtag bunch seem to pull it off. Much of this is thanks to the craft game planning and play calling of first-year coordinator John Morton. He’s coming off a prolonged stint of success as a wide receivers coach. The man has a proven track record at every stop he’s made.. OC. New York. John Morton . 12. player. 30
