For the second time in three years, the Jets will conduct a search for an offensive coordinator.
The team and Mike LaFleur have parted ways after two seasons together, according to The Post’s Brian Costello. New York — allowing LaFleur to pursue other opportunities — will start its process Thursday.
It was a rocky year for the Jets and their offense, a unit that sputtered throughout the year amid injuries and inconsistencies to Zach Wilson and Mike White. Joe Flacco started four games, including the season-finale.
New York’s offense didn’t score a touchdown in the final three games, losing to Jacksonville, Seattle and Miami. Its 17.4 points-per-game average was the fourth-lowest in the NFL.
After hiring Robert Saleh, the head coach brought LaFleur with him from the 49ers, where he previously served as San Francisco’s passing game coordinator. New York then drafted Zach Wilson out of BYU with the No. 2 pick and positioned him as its quarterback of the future.
But the Jets finished just 4-13 in 2021, as Wilson missed time with a PCL injury.
The Jets finished 7-10 in 2022 — closing the year on a six-game losing streak and dropping seven of their final eight games — and their offense sputtered behind quarterback inconsistencies and a season-ending injury to rookie running back Breece Hall. They benched Wilson, lost White to an injury and had to start Wilson again anyway.
