This is a huge test for the Jets\u2019 young coach, who has been a mixed bag over two years on the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to do a better job,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to do a better job for [Wilson], I\u2019ve got to do a better job for the offense. I truly believe it starts with me and ends with me, so I\u2019ve got to figure out a way to reset him, get him back to playing fundamentally sound football, and more importantly, just consistent football because he\u2019s done some really good things, but I haven\u2019t done a good enough job to get the consistency out of him. So, that starts and ends with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the right answer in front of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>. Now, he must find the right answers behind the scenes as he tries to rebuild Wilson, the quarterback the Jets drafted No. 2 overall just a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>For LaFleur, this is a chance to show his ability in developing a quarterback. So far, it hasn\u2019t h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened. This is not just a reset for Wilson. It is a reset for the entire organization and how they have managed Wilson to this point. They handed him the starting job in 2021 as soon as they submitted the card to draft him out of BYU. There was never any challenger for Wilson and there was never even any discussion of whether he was actually ready for the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zach Wilson at Jets practice on Nov. 23, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24777129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zach Wilson at Jets practice on Nov. 23, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In hindsight, the Jets would have to admit that was a mistake. Wilson would have benefitted from having to fight for the job. Heck, the Jets made Sauce Gardner earn the starting cornerback job this summer, not putting him with the starters right away and Gardner was more than ready to start in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Until Monday, the Jets have also been defiant when challenged about Wilson. They have defended him and not acknowledged the issues that were clear, even during the four-game winning streak in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All of that changed Monday and now everyone starts a new chapter in the Zach Wilson journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur is a smart coach who has a knack as a play-caller. The question he must now answer is how he and quarterbacks coach Rob Calabrese are when it comes to getting the most out of a player, who right now is wounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=NYPH2428739110&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Mike LaFleur talks with Jets reporters on Nov. 17, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24777133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike LaFleur talks with Jets reporters on Nov. 17, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a mental and a physical reset, more so the physical,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI got to find a way to get him to play more fundamentally sound in the lower half, and that\u2019s what we tend to do over these next few weeks. Again, the more consistent you are in your lower half, the more consistent play you\u2019re going to have when you get out there on Sundays. So, we\u2019re going to get right back to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jets offensive coordinators have had about as much staying power as the drummers in \u201cSpinal Tap.\u201d Think about this: If LaFleur remains as offensive coordinator in 2023 (and he should), he would be the first offensive coordinator to make it to three years on the job since Brian Schottenheimer, who held the job from 2006-11. Tony Sparano, Marty Mornhinweg, Chan Gailey, John Morton, Jeremy Bates, and Dowell Loggains all lasted just one or two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur has a tough job ahead of him. He must work on rehabbing Wilson while also getting Mike White up to speed and figuring out how to get this offense going. While the spotlight has been on the quarterback all week, the Jets did not do anything well offensively in the 10-3 loss to the Patriots in which they gained 103 total yards, and two in the second half. LaFleur needs to find a running game without his top runner Breece Hall. He needs to get a banged-up offensive line to perform better and he must manage a wide receiver room that has two players who have requested trades this season and another who called the offense \u201csorry\u201d after Sunday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck, coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zach Wilson and Mike LaFleur on Nov. 2, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24777130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/lafleur2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zach Wilson and Mike LaFleur on Nov. 2, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin\/NY POST<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The true test for LaFleur begins now. It starts with unlocking the talent Wilson showed at BYU and getting his head straight. If this goes well, LaFleur will be getting head coaching interviews in 2024. If it doesn\u2019t, the Jets will be back to Square One at quarterback in 2024 and maybe offensive coordinator, as well.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
