This could be a deceiving stat due to garbage time runs. Being 7-9 that season, you'd think that there wouldn't be a ton of garbage time stuffs, but if I were doing the hiring I'd disregard stuffs from clock chewing blowout losses.
The jets did have below average sacks while he was DL coach, but they were 30th in sacks in 2016, and 28th in sacks in 2017.
The ties with Lou thing sketches me out a little - the prospect of another potential comfort hire doesn't inspire confidence. That being said, I'm sure that they could do a lot worse at DL coach.
