Pete Carroll lasted just one season as the Jets’ head coach, a time that reflected some of the lowest moments in franchise history. A time that led to Rich Kotite’s ruinous 4-28 era and delivered a sense of hopelessness that will never be forgotten by those who lived through it.
But karma has a way of coming full circle, and perhaps Carroll’s legacy won’t simply be a 6-10 season punctuated by Dan Marino’s "Fake Spike" at the Meadowlands.
