FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have fired offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo, and hired former NFL punter Louie Aguiar as an assistant as Rex Ryan filled out his coaching staff.

The team announced Tuesday that DeGuglielmo would not return after one season, and will be replaced by tight ends coach-assistant offensive line coach Mike Devlin. The Jets also announced that assistant tight ends coach Lance Taylor has left to become the Carolina Panthers' assistant wide receivers coach.

Aguiar, who played for four teams including three seasons with the Jets, will assist special teams coach Ben Kotwica. Also joining Ryan's staff are: tight ends coach Steve Hagen, assistant offensive line coach Ron Heller, assistant strength and conditioning coach Pierre Ngo and assistant defensive line/linebackers coach Jeff Weeks.

Shonn Greene unlikely to be in New York Jets' plans

Shonn Greene delivered a workmanlike effort for the New York Jets this season, churning out 1,063 yards as a between-the-tackles bruiser.

But Greene possesses little burst (his 53-yard TD run to ice the Chargers in the 2009 divisional playoffs now feels like a fever dream), and his abilities as a receiver out of the backfield leave something to be desired.

In other words, Greene has value, but he's replaceable. ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini speculated Tuesday that Greene -- a pending free agent -- is "as good as gone" in 2013. Marty Mornhinweg is the team's new offensive coordinator, a West Coast mind who covets versatility in his tailbacks.

Tony Sparano is history, as is "Ground and Pound." The Jets are closing the book on an era, and Greene is unlikely to be part of what's next.

It's hard to defend any aspect of Mark Sanchez's 2012 season, but not having a running back who could act as a safety valve in the passing game did the quarterback no favors. Though he would likely be a longshot given the Jets' salary cap issues, Reggie Bush is exactly the type of player New York needs.

If Bush proves too costly, new general manager John Idzik would be wise to target a player with Bush-like traits during the draft process. The Jets need new blood. Finding a playmaker in the backfield could have a positive trickle-down effect on the entire offense.

Forgot to mention...

Jets also got new linebackers coach and a new defensive quality-control coach. That makes 8 total, I think, new coaches on staff, quite a big change.

Brian VanGorder, who spent four years as the Falcons’ defensive coordinator before holding the same position at Auburn last season, will coach the Jets’ linebackers next season. He replaces Bob Sutton, now the defensive coordinator in Kansas City. The Jets also hired Bobby April III as a defensive quality-control coach. He held the same job the last two seasons in Philadelphia.

The New York Jets added a fifth name to their Tuesday salary-cap purge with the announcement that linebacker Bart Scott has been released.

The move came less than an hour after the team announced it had waived linebacker Calvin Pace, safety Eric Smith, offensive tackle Jason Smith and tight end Josh Baker.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that Scott's agent planned to meet with the Jets on Thursday to explore options that would keep Scott with the team in 2013. It appears the Jets made a quick audible on that front.

The Jets receive $7.15 million in cap relief by cutting Scott, according to ESPN. The team has now cleared approximately $30 million in cap space in one day.

Scott's exit was widely expected, which made it conspicuous when his name wasn't among the initial cuts announced Tuesday. Linebacker Demario Davis is expected to move into the starting lineup to replace Scott, who spent four seasons in New York.

After being named Jets coach in 2009, Rex Ryan made it a point to bring Scott with him from the Baltimore Ravens. Scott was a playmaker early in his tenure with the Jets, and his "Can't wait!" proclamation after an upset win over the New England Patriots in the 2010 playoffs cemented his place in franchise lore.

But Scott's play slipped noticeably over the past two seasons, and he eventually came to represent the dysfunction that now seems to define the Jets. This wasn't a hard move for new general manager John Idzik, who cut salary and removed a player who has helped define an image the team is eager to distance itself from.

wtf are they doing?

They're trying to be one of best circus.

just a fyi falcon, no one on this forum would make fun of you if you stopped rooting for the jets
we all understand how hard this must be

It gets better, guys, it gets EVEN BETTER.

Been waiting for a week while JSP was down to post these:

So yeah, I heard Revis might go to the Bucs. Wow.

Here's a couple things that pissed me off:

Dustin Keller, Shonn Greene, LaRon Landry, and Yeremiah Bell are all away from the Jets. They're all immensely talented players (Except for Greene) and I can't blame them. In fact I wish them well, they made the right choice.

- Keller signs with the Miami Dolphins for 1 year (can't blame the kid) http://online.wsj.com/article/AP6505aa9c038f43f7b4b9e190e0cacc92.html
- Greene signs with the Tennessee Titans for 3 years, $10 million contract
- Landry signs with the Indianapolis Colts for a four-year $24 million dollar deal with $14 million guaranteed.
- Bell reportedly signs a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, but I don't have the money involved.

Also, the decent defense is pretty much gone, need to replace seven defensive starters already, and that doesn't even factor in the Revis factor...

:/

Well, it's official.

Revis traded to the Bucs for their first round pick (13th overall) and a fourth rounder that will most likely be a third rounder.

Power to him; the contract is reportedly six years for $96 million, which is pretty solid ($16m a year)

I give credit to Idzik for getting the value he did, but it still leaves me bitter. I would've rather gotten some actual players, despite knowing that someone like Vjax is out of the question. That said, three picks before the Bucs pick once is pretty cool. (Bucs go at 43, Jets have 9th, 13th, and 39th). Hopefully they can boost the overall of the team, because honestly, the Jets secondary was really solid last year despite not having Revis.

Granted, they ALSO don't have Bell or Landry now, so losing those two AND Revis might be a problem, but whatever.
