Following their second consecutive 7-10 season, several believed that the New York Jets needed significant coaching changes.

They are undoubtedly granted their request.

Rob Dadona, the assistant head coach, is moving from New York to Atlanta to work with Raheem Morris as the Falcons’ manager of coaching operations. Rich Cimini of ESPN broke the story first.

Dadona is one of the few remaining members of Robert Saleh’s initial staff in New York, having been one of the Jets head coach’s first appointments in 2021. Ron Middleton, the tight-end coach, is the last remaining employee. In January, Steve Scarnecchia departed from the Jets and moved to Atlanta. Former Chief of Staff Scarnecchia left to take a similar position with the Falcons.

Dadona is the third head coach the Jets will need to replace this week. Rob Calabrese, the quarterbacks coach, went to become an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Rams, while Mack Brown, the offensive assistant, left to join the Seattle Seahawks.

This year, the organization is losing seven offensive assistants from New York.

The Jets are behind schedule in filling some of these assistant jobs, even if this isn’t a genuine indication of “rats trying to leave a sinking ship” as many have attempted to characterize it.

The Jets will prioritize staff filling while also attempting to maintain an advantage in the scouting and free agency processes, since the Scouting Combine is scheduled to commence next week without Robert Saleh.
