Gregg Williams’ final play call in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders was his last with the Jets.
New York fired the defensive coordinator on Monday morning, according to multiple reports.
Williams’ dismissal follows a widely-panned decision to send an all-out blitz after Raiders QB Derek Carr in the closing seconds of Gang Green’s Week 13 game. The zero coverage play left the speedy Henry Ruggs III alone with undrafted rookie corner Lamar Jackson in a Hail Mary situation. Ruggs III blew past Jackson and easily hauled in the game’s winning touchdown. The Jets, meanwhile, moved to 0-12.
Williams was criticized by fans, media and his own players after the game, while Adam Gase struggled to explain what had happened. Clearly, the head coach was still in disbelief on Monday, firing a coordinator he had already butted heads with earlier this year.
