Jets Announce Adam Gase's Coaching Staff
By WFAN.com
Adam Gase is the man who will lead the Jets on the sidelines during the 2019 season, but he’ll still need some help in the form of a competent coaching staff.
We already knew Gregg Williams had been named as defensive coordinator, and now we know the rest of the new hires and returnees. On Friday, the Jets announced Gase’s completed 21-man staff.
Coach Gase's staff is complete.
— New York Jets (@nyjets) February 8, 2019Dowell Loggains (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks) and Brant Boyer (special teams coordinator) were also announced as hires before Friday.
Jim Bob Cooter is one name that jumps out from the list. He will be the running backs coach. Cooter was hired as the Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach in 2014 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2015. He served as OC in Detroit until the end of this past season, when the team declined to renew his contract.
The defensive line coach, Andre Carter, is another noteworthy hire. Carter, a former Patriot, once had four sacks in a Sunday night game against the Jets in 2011.
Joe Vitt also joins the staff. Vitt has spent 40 seasons working in the NFL and has a connection to Gase, who is married to his daughter.
