FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Even though the New York Jets' playoff hopes were undermined, in large part, by a struggling offense, coach Robert Saleh insisted Monday he won't let outside noise influence his decision on the future of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
Saleh said he still has full confidence in LaFleur even though the Jets have scored only four touchdowns during their current five-game losing streak. The Jets (7-9) were eliminated Sunday with a 23-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, extending their futility streak to eight straight quarters without a touchdown.
Preferring to look at the big picture instead of recent results, Saleh said the Jets are in the second year of "a commitment to go young everywhere -- coaches, players, staff, everybody.
