The New York Jets got off to a good start this season. They were 7-4 at one point and were in prime position for a playoff spot with just six games remaining.

Then the wheels fell off, losing the last six games in humiliating fashion and missing the playoffs for the twelfth straight season.

A lot of the problems were with the offense, mainly second-year QB Zach Wilson. He struggled mightily and lost the locker room with misguided actions and comments.

A lot of the offensive woes and struggles could fall at the feet of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. He is given free reign to run the offense as he sees fit by Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh. So, there’s heat on him for leading the league’s 29th-best scoring offense that was putrid at the end of the year.

Owner Woody Johnson is an involved owner. It’s obviously not working, because the Jets are a bad franchise. The interesting thing is the pushback by Saleh. You can’t put it past Johnson to fire them both now.

By all accounts, Jets owner Woody Johnson is fuming with how this season has ended. Saleh likely wants LaFleur back in 2023, but he knows it’s not completely his decision. General manager Joe Douglas and even team owner Woody Johnson have some say in the matter.

The Jets face a lot of important decisions this offseason, and the ones regarding their offensive coordinator and coaching staff figure to be atop their list of decisions.
