Sources: Jets fire Tony Sparano
Chris Mortensen [ARCHIVE] ESPN | January 8, 2013
The New York Jets have fired offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who was informed of his dismissal Monday night, league and team sources said Tuesday morning.
The official move was made after a meeting between Jets owner Woody Johnson and coach Rex Ryan.
The Jets were ranked 30th in total offense in Sparano's first season in the role, doomed by their unsettled quarterback position.
Mark Sanchez struggled all season and ultimately was removed from the starting spot for Greg McElroy in Week 16, though he started the finale after McElroy was ruled out with a concussion.
And Tim Tebow didn't have much of an impact after he was acquired in a trade with the Broncos as New York's Wildcat package was ineffective and the team wasn't sure how to use him in other packages.
Information from ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter was used in this report.
