    Heimerdinger out...Fairchild in?

    Wednesday, January 25, 2006, 06:08 PM EST [New York Jets]

    Jets offensive guru Mike Heimerdinger is gone after coming to some agreement with the Jets brass. This was bound to happen, especially after the episode following Eric Mangini's hiring. The offense, even though it was riddled with injuries, should have been a little better. Bollinger wasn't the prototype, but oh well...out with the old, in with the new. Former Browns coach and Texans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer is one of the possibilities, along with former Rams offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild. Other names are likely to surface, but Fairchild might be a good fit to open up the passing game, but also give some focus to the run. That's why the Jets SHOULD get D'Brickshaw Ferguson, OT (Virginia) with their 1st round pick. Martin still has some years left and getting a solid lineman to replace McKenzie would be key to the Jets success.
