Jets add Toledo LB coach Pat Bastien

The New York Jets are adding to their coaching staff with a month to go before the regular season begins.

Bruce Feldman of The Athletic and FOX Sports is reporting the Jets are bringing in Toledo linebackers coach Pat Bastien.

The Athletic’s Zach Rosenblatt reports Bastien will be an offensive assistant with the Jets.

Bastien has been a coach since 2014, as a graduate assistant at UCF and has also made coaching stops at Georgia Southern (2016-17), Southern (2018), Georgia (2018-19). Marshall (2020) and Western Kentucky (2021).

Bastien has experience coaching both linebackers and cornerbacks in his coaching career and was a four-year linebacker at UAB from 2009-2013. He was also Assistant Director of Player Development while at Georgia.

With the help of Bastien, Western Kentucky went 9-5 in 2021, including a 59-38 win over Appalachian State in the Boca Raton Bowl, where QB Bailey Zappe set the NCAA record for passing yards (5,967) and touchdown passes (62).
