The Jets have quality defensive and special teams coaches at least
In relatively minor coaching staff news, the Jets had a pair of low level assistants land jobs with other teams.
Defensive assistant Ricky Manning Jr. has been hired as Raiders defensive backs coach.

Michael Ghobrial was well-respected in the #Jets building. Learned from Brant Boyer, one of the best in the biz. Good hire by the Giants. https://t.co/dqYyYvUkjW

Both men are clearly stepping into bigger roles and advancing their respective careers by moving on from the Jets. It isn’t clear how big of an impact either Manning or Ghobrial had on the team. They were fairly low level coaches.
But it is a good thing when other teams want to poach your talent whether it’s on the field, in the front office, or on the coaching staff.
On the coaching side, the Jets’ seem to have a group that is rightly respected on defense and special teams. Let’s just not talk about the offense.
