JetNation Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 There is a report by Adam Caplan saying the NY Jets special teams coach Brant Boyer has signed a contract extension and will stay with the team. Rather than potentially lose special teams coach Brant Boyer after next season, the #Jets and Boyer agreed to an extension today, source said. Multiple teams were interested in hiring him if Gase didn't retain him. — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) January 13, 2019 The Jets had many problems last season but their special teams unit performed well. Kicker Jason Myers really surprised people and he made the pro bowl. Return specialist Andre Roberts is joining Myers at the Pro Bowl. Boyer joined the team in 2016. Boyer joined the Jets after a four-year tenure in Indianapolis (2012-15), where he aided a Colts special teams unit that ranked in the top 10 league-wide during that span in net punting average (third), kickoff return average (fourth), kickoff touchbacks (fourth) and field goal percentage (seventh), despite using three different players as primary punt returners and four different kick returners in his four seasons. Prior to joining the Colts, Boyer was twice a training camp intern, first for the Cleveland Browns (2009) and later for the New York Giants (2010). Before entering the coaching ranks, Boyer played linebacker and was a standout on special teams for the Miami Dolphins (1994), Jacksonville Jaguars (1995-2000) and Cleveland Browns (2001-03). He served as a special teams captain for both the Jaguars and Browns and led the Browns in tackles in 2002 and 2003. Boyer was a two-time member of USA Today’s All-Joe Team, once as a linebacker and once as a special teams player. In 2002, his teammates selected him for the Cleveland Browns Unsung Hero Award.

SayNoToDMC Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sad we let Stump Mitchell walk to Cleveland. Think he's a good RB coach. Coached up David Johnson and seemed to be doing some pretty good work with McGuire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been atrocious since Westhoff left up to this guy who seems like he's got the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I choose to pretend those years didn't happen. Specials have still been great for the better part of 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This is really great news I think that Boyer has a chance to be a very good HC one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did Gase really choose him or was he part of the requirements for the job? I know the Jets will say the former but I get the feeling it’s the latter. I’m happy with the signing btw. I’m just saying I think the whole “Gase controls his staff” comment isn’t entirely true.

Scoop24 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Now lock up Roberts and I will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJF71 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 No other ST coach is as busy as Boyer. The Jets are either punting or returning kickoffs. Lots of practice during the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
