I thought it would of interest to create a thread with information, as it becomes available, on whom will the remaining positions on the Jets' CS. From the Daily News "Vanderbilt offensive coordinator Karl Dorrell is expected to join the Jets staff, the Daily News has learned. Dorrell worked with Todd Bowles in Miami. . . . Former Vikings TE coach Jimmie Johnson is expected to assume the same position with the Jets, The News has learned. . . . The Ravens hired former Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg as their quarterbacks coach. . . . Former Jets assistant head coach/running backs coach Anthony Lynn will join Ryan’s staff in Buffalo, according to a source."
Manish tweeted: Former Vikings TE coach Jimmie Johnson (2006-2013) is expected to join Todd Bowles' staff as the new Jets TE coach, I'm told.
Via Adam Caplan #Packers asst. OL coach Steve Marshall is expected to join #Jets coaching staff (presumably working with OL), league source said.
Lol I know,but hopefully overtime these guys show up.I couldn't pick any of them out of a line up except for Chan Gailey
Heard Bowles on fat mike and he basically said the staff is in place they just havent announced all the deals yet.
Bobby April... good ST coach http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/art...by-April/8473d6a8-7b25-499e-961c-c29cc395fba0
It's looking like Kacy Rodgers from the Dolphins will be the next Defensive Coordinator. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...-as-defensive-coordinator-20150121-story.html
These names appear to be official now. Looks like: Casey Rodgers is the DC Bobby April is Special Teams Coordinator. Mike Caldwell is Assistant Head Coach and Inside Linebacker Coach. Mark Collins is Outside Linebackers Coach. Joe Danna as Defensive Back and Safeties Coach. Karl Dorrell as WR Coach. Robby Brown as Quality Control on offense Coach. A lot of these guys have good college experience as well as pro experience which leads hope towards developing talent. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/art...252eb-0257-474d-9d9d-31b10f0b3448?campaign=tw
Love the Rodgers hire. Fins Dline has been the strong part of their team the last couple seasons. Exciting to think what he could make get out of Coples and a potential pass rushing rookie.
Personally, I'm enjoying the influx of CS members with a strong prior background as NFL players. hey can translate words into action. Now lets get the draft guru on board and rock
http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/art...5-499e-961c-c29cc395fba0?campaign=relatedlink Jets Sign Coordinators Kacy Rodgers, Bobby April Todd Bowles and the Jets have filled their coordinator roster today with the hiring of Kacy Rodgers as Bowles' defensive coordinator and Bobby April Jr. as the new special teams coordinator. They join Chan Gailey, named earlier this week as the Green & White's offensive coordinator. It's no surprise that Bowles and Rodgers are reuniting on the Jets. They're longtime friends who are now starting their eighth season of coaching together. April's name is familiar, too. He's a longtime NFL special teams guru and also the father of Bobby April III, the linebackers coach on the 2014 Jets. Kacy Rodgers, Defensive Coordinator Rodgers and Bowles worked together on Bill Parcells' Dallas staff in 2005. They were Cowboys for three seasons, then stayed together on Tony Sparano's Miami Dolphins staff for the four years after that. Perhaps most significant, wherever the two have coached, strong defenses have emerged. Take these five major defensive categories: total yards allowed, rush yards allowed, pass yards allowed, points allowed and sacks by. In the past 12 seasons, including those seven with Bowles, Rodgers has helped develop an NFL top-10 unit in at least one of those five categories in every one of those seasons. And from 2008-14, his entire tenure with Miami, Rodgers' Dolphins D-lines have contributed strongly to 287 sacks, third-most in the NFL in that span behind only Minnesota and Philadelphia. Sweet music, no doubt, to top performers Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, David Harris,Demario Davis, Damon Harrison and the rest of the members of the Jets "D". Before the pros, Rodgers coached D-line at Tennessee-Martin, Louisiana-Monroe and Middle Tennessee State. He also rose to assistant head coach at UT-Martin (1997) and MTSU (2000-01). As a Tennessee DE/LB, Kacy played in three consecutive New Year's Day bowl games — the 1990 Cotton Bowl Classic, '91 Sugar Bowl and '92 Fiesta Bowl. He was an undrafted free agent who went to training camp with the Steelers in 1992 and also played football in Louisiana (the Shreveport Pirates) for a Canadian league (the CFL) in 1994. Bobby April, Special Teams Coordinator The highly experienced April comes to us after previously spending time coordinating the special teams on the Raiders the past two seasons, then before that the Eagles (2010-12, with Bowles on the '12 staff), Bills ('04-09), Rams ('01-03), Saints (1996-99), Steelers ('94-95) and Falcons ('91-93). He won two Special Teams Coach of the Year awards, in 2004 and '08 with the Bills. Before April's pro coaching experience came his college work, at Ohio State, Southern Cal, Arizona, Tulane and Southern Miss. The native of New Orleans played four seasons at linebacker for Nicholls State from 1972-76.
