You know the old adage: When a play works, the coach is a genius, when it doesn’t, he’s an idiot. (I’m paraphrasing.)
Who cares about the thought process behind a play? Or the execution by the players? All that matters is the result. Successful play? The OC is good. Unsuccessful play? The OC is bad.
This is not how coordinators in the NFL should be evaluated. And it feels like this is what’s happening with New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur right now.
Now that the Jets have lost five consecutive games to fall from a promising 7-4 team to a listless 7-9 team that will miss the playoffs, Jets fans want someone to pay the price.
