Jets offensive coordinator John Morton to remain with the team

[gmf1369]

Jets offensive coordinator John Morton will remain with the team amid speculation that he was being considered for the Raiders' offensive coordinator job.

Raiders head coach Jon Gruden confirmed that he hired former Rams offensive coordinator Greg Olson to join his staff in Oakland.

Morton, who previously worked with Gruden in Oakland, just completed his first season as Jets' offensive coordinator after taking over for Chan Gailey. Morton coached the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-2014 before a coaching stint with the Saints from 2015-2016.

The Jets finished the season 28th in total offense, averaging 305.2 yards per game.

Well good news as there will be some continuity. Morton was a good OC and got the most out of McCown. No one can coach petty so I don’t blame the lack of offense on him once petty got the nod.

I like Morton as our OC. As mentioned above we will have continuity. I still hope we can find a good QB coach.

Morton may not be the salt of the earth but I have no problem with him
