John Morton's first and only season with the Jets wasn't as peachy as led to believe.
The offensive coordinator, whom the Jets fired on Wednesday, clashed with head coach Todd Bowles, a source told NJ Advance Media. The year, while somewhat successful for those on that side of the ball, was filled with "friction" and "tension" behind the scenes.
There were several times Bowles made offensive suggestions to Morton, to which the coordinator wouldn't comply. Bowles wasn't a fan of Morton's pass-happy scheme, especially in short-yardage situations. Despite repeated requests to rely on the run game more, Morton never did.
