Jets Assistant Coach Banned

New York Jets assistant coach Sal Alosi was suspended for the remainder of the season, including playoffs, and fined $25,000 by the team. Alosi tripped Dolphins player Nolan Carrol, who has broken his right leg twice, causing the medical staff to come out and treat him. Alosi was emotional during after being interviewed about the incident and took full responsibility. Carol said that he wasn't mad, but his teammates went off on Alosi. This incident is going to stir up a lot of controversy. This season the NFL has been fining players for helmet to helmet hits and players felt that Alosi's punishment wasn't enough and I agree because he could have ended Carrol's career. As a coach and a leader, it was a classless act and an unfortunate one for him because he's going to be remembered as the coach who tripped the player and players, as well as fans, will be considering the Jets as a dirty team.
