Still without a general manager the New York Jets have also lost a total of 9 coaches since the end of the season:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tony Sparano:<\/b>\u00a0 Coming as no surprise the former Miami Dolphins head coach was let go after one season producing the 30th<\/sup> ranked offense in the NFL.\u00a0 The Jets are looking<\/a> at potential replacements.<\/p>\n

Mike Westhoff:<\/b>\u00a0 Had planned his retirement after this season but a likely Hall of Fame coach had arguably one of his worst seasons in the NFL as his special teams units seemed to often falter.\u00a0 Westhoff recently made waves during several interviews in which he criticized<\/a> the Jets from front office decisions to their handling of quarterback Tim Tebow.\u00a0 Former assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica has been promoted<\/a> to fill the vacancy.<\/p>\n

Matt Cavanaugh:<\/b>\u00a0 The Jets opted not to renew the embattled quarterbacks coach\u2019s contract as Cavanaugh was fortunate to retain his position after Mark Sanchez regressed in 2011.\u00a0 After an even worse 2012 season by Sanchez the Jets decided to move on.\u00a0 Former Bills and Dolphins quarterbacks coach David Lee is considered<\/a> a possible replacement as head coach Rex Ryan showed interest in him before the start of last season.<\/p>\n

Mike Pettine:<\/b>\u00a0 The former defensive coordinator refused<\/a> a contract extension with the Jets choosing instead to take the same position with the Buffalo Bills.\u00a0 Pettine was always considered head coach Rex Ryan\u2019s \u201cguy\u201d but unconfirmed rumors linked Pettine with anonymous quotes to the media and a fractured relationship with Ryan and the organization.\u00a0 The team promoted defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman to fill the vacancy.<\/p>\n

Anthony Weaver:<\/b> \u00a0Was the Jets assistant <\/a>defensive line coach for the past two seasons but will follow Pettine becoming a member of the Bills defensive coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Jim O\u2019Neil:<\/b>\u00a0 Spent the past<\/a> three seasons as the assistant defensive backs coach with the Jets but has decided to join Pettine in Buffalo.<\/p>\n

Bob Sutton:<\/b> \u00a0After 13 years with the Jets organization, including being the defensive coordinator 2006-08, Sutton has been named<\/a> the new defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs joining former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid there.<\/p>\n

Bill Hughan:<\/b> \u00a0Strength and conditioning coach was fired soon after the season ended.\u00a0 The Jets dealt with a rash of injury problems starting in training camp which continued through the season.<\/p>\n

Mike Smith:<\/b>\u00a0 Spent three years with the team and was the outside<\/a> linebackers coach last year.\u00a0 Smith accepted a position at Texas Tech where he played football collegiately.<\/p>\n
