During that time he was part of the Super Bowl III winning staff. Michaels left the Jets after he was denied the opportunity to take over as head coach when Weeb Ewbank stepped down. He returned a few years later to work on Lou Holtz’s staff. Eventually he landed the head coaching job after Holtz’s brutal tenure ended quickly.Michaels inherited the team during a dark stretch in franchise history and slowly turned things around. The Jets were at the bottom of the league when he took over.

That proved to be his final game as Jets head coach.For his work, Michaels is largely regarded as the second greatest coach in franchise history behind Ewbank. Good morning, GGN!
