The end of the regular season in the NFL brings about an immediate coaching carousel. With the passing of black Monday, the next step is assistant coaches leaving one gig for another in an attempt to advance their careers.
One such instance has been the situation involving long-time Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong. It is being reported that the New York Jets are looking to poach the Trenton, New Jersey native from the Falcons’ coaching staff in an attempt to make him their special teams coach.
The Jets tried this last season as well. Todd Bowles, the team’s head coach, used to be Armstrong’s college roommate, when the two played football together at Temple.
