Jets offensive coordinators usually have the staying power of the drummer in Spinal Tap.
They show up, fans get hopeful, then fans grow to loathe them and they disappear. Rinse and repeat. The Jets have had five different coordinators in the past seven seasons.
Current offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates is somewhere between the “giving hope” phase and the “fans growing to loathe him” phase. Eight games into his tenure, Bates has had some good moments (512 yards against the Broncos) and some not-so-good moments (178 yards against the Jaguars).
The Jets offense is ranked 29th in the NFL and looked about as explosive as a wet firecracker Sunday in Chicago.
