2012 was overall one of the most turbulent seasons in franchise history. The team was distracted by increased media presence during the off-season due to a quarterback controversy between incumbent starter Mark Sanchez and trade acquisition Tim Tebow. In addition, numerous blunders on and off the field as well as injuries often led to sloppy play, and the team was compared to a "circus".[1][2] On November 22, against the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving, Mark Sanchez fumbled after running into lineman Brandon Moore and Steve Gregory ran back a 32-yard fumble return for a touchdown. The game is known now by Jets fans as the infamous "butt fumble" play and was considered the low-point of the season.[3] After that it was all downhill as the Jets suffered their first losing season since 2007. The Jets' offense scored only 281 points, ranking them 30th in the league,[4] while the defense was ranked 8th best in the league.[5]

Transactions edit

Coaching changes edit

  • The contracts of wide receivers coach Henry Ellard, outside linebackers coach Jeff Weeks and assistant head coach/offensive line coach Bill Callahan expired after the conclusion of the 2011 season and subsequently they were not retained. Ellard and Callahan, when offered contract extensions prior to the expiration of their contracts, refused to re-sign.[6]
  • Mike Smith was promoted from his position as a defensive intern to the outside linebackers coach, replacing Jeff Weeks.[6] Smith later left the team to become the linebackers coach and co-coordinator at West Virginia.[7] He returned to the Jets two weeks later after discovering his responsibilities with West Virginia were not the same as the team had first indicated.[8]
  • Tony Sparano was hired as the new offensive coordinator, replacing Brian Schottenheimer on January 11, 2012.[9]
  • Sanjay Lal was hired as the new wide receivers coach on January 13, 2012.[10]
  • Dave DeGuglielmo was hired as the new offensive line coach on January 24, 2012.[11]
  • On February 13, the team named Karl Dunbar as the new defensive line coach. In addition strength and conditioning coaching assistants Justus Galac and Paul Ricci were hired.[12]
  • Defensive line coach Mark Carrier left the team to accept the position as the Cincinnati Bengals' defensive backs coach.[13]
