The Facts: New York's offensive collapse has cost its coordinator his job. The Jets and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur are mutually parting ways. Several NFL teams have inquired about LaFleur and he's been allowed to seek other opportunities.
Diehards Line:LaFleur's tenure with the Jets ends after two seasons and two bottom-eight finishes in total offense. In his first season with an admittedly inexperienced, if not talent-deficient offense, the Jets ranked 26th in total offense, 27th in rushing, 20th in passing and 27th in third-down percentage. Although the Jets improved drastically in the first half of the 2022 season, New York's offense continued to struggle to get out of second gear, finishing 25th in total offense, 24th in rushing and 15th in passing (and declining on third down, dropping to 28th). A former offensive assistant (passing game coordinator and receivers coach) in San Francisco, LaFleur followed fellow 49ers staffer Robert Saleh to New York when the latter was hired to take over the Jets. LaFleur assumed control of New York's offense and was tasked with helping second-overall pick Zach Wilson adjust to the NFL as quickly as possible. Now, the pressure is on Saleh and Co. to correct the team's mistakes and find a better candidate to lead New York's offense. They also need to find a quality option under center. The clock is ticking in New York.
