Whenever an NFL team underachieves, everyone involved in the organization needs someone to blame.
Usually, that someone is going to be a coach. If it’s not the head coach, it’s often the coordinator of the most underachieving unit on the team.
In the case of the Jets, their offense was what failed them in 2022, and many fans want to place the blame squarely on the shoulders of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. After all, the defense is still in the top 10 in the NFL in most statistical categories and the top five in many, and yet the Jets clinched a seventh consecutive losing season.
