Dan Shamash

DAN SHAMASH returns to the New York Jets after joining Robert Saleh's staff as the situational football/game management coordinator on February 1, 2022. Shamash, who first worked with the Jets in 2008, has been in the NFL for the last 14 seasons, coaching both sides of the ball.

Prior to joining the Jets, Shamash spent five seasons with the Chargers (2017-21) in a variety of roles on the offense. Over his time with Los Angeles, he helped coach an offense that ranked in the Top 10 in the league four times. Working with tight ends, Hunter Henry twice posted single-season best in receptions (2020 & 2019), while he assisted receivers, Keenan Allen set a then-franchise record with 102 receptions (2017), the fourth most in the NFL.

Working on the defensive side of the ball in Jacksonville (2014-16), Shamash served as a defensive quality control coach on the same staff as Saleh (linebackers coach). In 2016, the Jaguar's defense finished sixth in the league, allowing 321.7 yards per game and just 5.00 yards per play (ranked third).

In Tampa Bay (2012-13), Shamash worked closely with Head Coach Greg Schiano in football aspects ranging from situational football and game management to daily practice, squad meetings and research projects.
