Strength and Conditioning Coach Tripped Miami Dolphins Player

PrintThe Jets have given word that strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was the man on the sidelines who tripped Dolphin Nolan Carroll on a punt in the third quarter.
Coach Rex Ryan had just been briefed on the incident after the game and didn’t want to comment on "what ifs." A team spokesman said, "The team is reviewing the situation and is looking into the appropriate next step."
If the team review finds this was intentional, Alosi should be fired immediately. There is no room for something that bush league on this team. The Jets may or may not go far in the Playoffs to back up their talk this year, but they should send a message that they have standards and won't tolerate behavior this embarrassing to the organization.

well done john
its bush , and he should be punished. dont know about fired but fined def.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
While I think it was despicable and shouldnt go unpunished..
…wasnt the guy out of bounds? And I dont think he did it purposely either, only because what if the player got up and came after him? Can a guy be that fearless and stupid at the same time?
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
it was clear in slow motion
the dude casually lifted his knee in the direction of the player as he passed . intent was obvious.
hopefully he gets fined and not fired.

I think it is being blown out of preportion a bit
I do agree he should be fined but I dont think it was bad as made out.

Oh you dont?
Trust me the league will. With the league stressing plauer safety trying to get a 18 game season that type of non sense will not be tolerated. When a COACH on the sidelines intentionaly tries to hurt a player it is a big deal. Not someone who was on the field and caught up in the moment, this was a premeditated act to seriously injury a player. As for your point of him being out of bounds on punys gunners are usually always ran out of bounds and fight to get back in. However your coach tool it into his own hands to try and give your guy an advantage and ended up hurting a player and hopefully costing himselve a job. Kudos to John for being a stand up man and saying those type of plays cannot and should not be tolerated in this league. Good game Jets and good luck with the rest of your season.

I think a coach doing that is terrible and should be punished
Probably fired but I’m saying on that particular play, the player was out of bounds and it wasn’t a career threatening hit. How many times do players go flying off the field and take these guys down?

Actually the s___ tends to flow downhill
So naturally, the guy will go to the Browns next because he gets all the cheating castoffs. If there’s no job there, he gets to follow McDaniels around. :P
Not sure exactly what he will do for McDaniels but Im sure it will be something with a camera

well you would have a point if a players ran out of bounds
with the intent to hurt somebody . and then did.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Yes def. needs to be fined...
I dont think he should be fired maybe a suspesion of some sort
I hope he doesn't get fired...
Then you guys may get a strength and conditioning coach that will have your line ready and not pushed around like cotton candy boys by Cameron Wake!
2009 was like picking up a fat chick, You had a little fun, but you don't necessarily want to see it again.
Dance Fever and TJ Hooker rock! Long live Adrian Zmed!
According to Mehta's twitter
Alosi says he apologized to Tony Sparano & Nolan Carrol before #Dolphins left. Called actions “inexcusable & unsportsmanlike”
Jets Strength coach Sal Alosi admits:“I made a mistake that showed total lapse in judgment” by leaning knee into Nolan Carroll from sideline

Sorry unless this guy is invaluable to this team’s success (I know I am terrible) you almost have to fire him to send a message. It really is indefensible, he can be replaced so do it.
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
Im fine with firing him
The Jets have enough stuff to deal with. Can him and move on.

I have a ton of respect for Rex Ryan
I was a big fan of his father and a big fan of his and they both have tempers and get carried away but nothing like this
This was an intentional act by this staffer and I dont believe Rex will put up with this he may be loud and brash but he is not a cheap shot type of coach
I would be surprised if this staffer wasn’t fired by tomorrow
World Champions at last

Rex is a forgiving guy though. He understands nobody’s perfect and give the guy another chance.

If you can touch it, you can catch it.
Maybe they should promote him to OC
He seems to have more heart than Schotty.

His foot doesn’t move which was what helped me to think he didn’t do anything the first replay. When they slow it down you could clearly see him lean his knee forward to make contact. Can hin, I am glad it was not JL like someone suggested, that would of been a tough situation.
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
I would have been shocked if it was JL. He’s not a cheap shot artist.

much more embarrassed
by that one guy doing that one thing compared to a 45-3 beat down-bad for the organization

Totally a bush league move by this assh..e.Should be gone from the Jet
organization as soon as tomorrow.It’s a dangerous game without coaches taking cheap shots at players during game action.UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I typically do not have much good to say about Jet fans
But the response from most on this thread goes to show that I am sometimes wrong.
Props to those who condemn this indefensible action.
6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.
That was fast.
Fire his stupid ass.
RR and the Jets organization have been soft on two incidents such as this with the Edwards DUI and the Ines Sanchez locker room incident.
I will lose a ton of respect for RR if this d-bag is not fired by Monday's presser.

I think a suspension and fine would work
The guy made an awful mistake but firing a guy who probably has a family right around the holidays is kinda tough. We have all made mistakes at work but we dont have cameras watching our every move.

Pay him through the season if they like, but he needs to go.
You think players are going to respect a coach after that kind of b.s.? Forgive him if you like, but he’s lost ALL credibility.
by DesertJetFan on Dec 12, 2010 11:44 PM EST up reply actions
Also....
if you make a mistake at work that could’ve caused someone else their career and livelihood and that gives your organization a bad name you SHOULD be terminated. Everyone on that sideline KNOWS that the camera is on them, which makes his boneheaded move even worse!
by DesertJetFan on Dec 12, 2010 11:48 PM EST up reply actions
I dont condone what he did, just sucks for his family
He will more than likely be fired though. The worst thing about this situation is that it takes Schotty and Rex off the hook. This topic will dominate all the headlines and sports talk. Normally I like the team not to have distractions but these two need to deal with the mess they are creating.

Yeah, I showed my girlfriend the replay
and the first thing she asked was, “How does that guy not know there are dozens of cameras on him?” I answered, “Because he’s a soon to be unemployed @sshat.” Holidays or not, fine and indefinite suspension. Terminate him at the end of the year, hell have John Conner do it.
A suspension and firing at years end should be fine
Or like I said earlier, a promotion to OC could work.

You mean...
The Edwards DUI when the Jets were the first team to actually punish a starting player for a DUI? And the Ines Saenz “Locker room incident” that revolved around guys throwing balls by her so they could get closer to her and check her out? The one that occurred on the practice field, not in the locker room? The one where she said she didn’t know what the big deal was about, and in fact, didn’t even report herself?

That Edwards DUI punishment was weak

I bet he wouldn't
What makes you think that a guy who cheated wouldn’t do whatever it takes to win? You think if welker got a dui, he would be benched? Not a chance.

Um hasnt he benched guys for showing up late to practice?

That's pretty standard with every team in the league
Up until Edwards, no team had benched a starter for a DUI.

I still think it was a weak benching

If it's more than
anyone had ever done before, so how is it weak? It was the harshest punishment any team had given to a starting play for a DUI.
"Schotty... You Suck!" - Mark Sanchez
I dont think I am in the minority on this
As a fan I wanted him to play, as a father I didnt. It sends a terrible message and I dont care what other teams have done in the past.

The Edwards thing again?
There’s been like 2 DUI/DWIs since the Edwards incident. Net punishment time: 0 quarters.
as long as he take schotty with him im all for his firing

fire schotty and lets go get a goddamn snack!

The Jets have bad luck
That could had been Schotty who trip that player. Then the Jets would had two reason to fire him.
I hear the Panthers are looking for someone who can help them on defense?
Maybe you could finagle a 5th round pick for him?

He should be fired
There is absolutely no excuse for what he did, and there is no place on this team for a guy who would do that.
"Schotty... You Suck!" - Mark Sanchez
I came over from the Phinsider
to see if you fans were actually defending this act. Lost of players get pushed put of bounds on kicks like this and have to run back in. There is totally no place for this kind of act. Its refreshing to know that even though we really despise each other’s team, we both value sportsmanship.

There’s no place for that in a game. That was a blind knee, your guy could have really been hurt. I can’t condone or ignore it on any team, let alone my own which I demand a higher standard from even if it isn’t realistic.

None of us want to see this....
The competition should stay on the field of play in any sport (FIFA motto of Fair Play). This type of behavior will be punished in some manner by the Jets beore the league, because the next time it could be a Jet or any other player for that manner, You’re setting the tone rather than making an example that this won’t be tolerated. You often see the opposing bench stop a player from hurting themselves after going out of bounds. Sporting behavior unfortunately can’t always be legislated, but stuff like this has to be dealt with no matter who it is.
As a long time Jets fan, I’ve rarely met a win at any cost Jets fan whi would not be embarrassed by this.
But I still despise the Fins!
This guy probably thought...
Doing this crap would get him browny pts or something with the players and coaches and now he can possibly lose his job lol what an idiot
Not for nothing, I dont think this was a pre meditated thing
It was a spur of the moment mistake. He will get punished, like he should, but I dont think before the game he sat in a corner thinking “I know how to get in Rex’s good graces”

If he did
he’s an even bigger moron. But I agree, I think it was a stupid move. Anybody who premeditates such an act shouldn’t be allowed to work the grill at mcdonalds on grounds of stupidity.

Yea i know
he didnt plan it but the natural instinct when u see someone coming at you is to move out of the way not trip him lol
Sorry kids no Xmas

Lol, yup this scenerio is pretty likely.
Or Daddy was hopped up on Creatine, Red Bull, and Vodka again on the sidelines and made a dummy dumb. Now he’ll be working at Gold’s Gym in 2011.
I can't believe he admitted it and still has a job
he should have been taken from the field in cuffs. he could have ended a career
Fortunately...
the only career he ended was his own.
"If you know how to cheat, start now." - Earl Weaver
I'm glad most of you all realize how serious this is and want him fired
This is an absolute embarrassment to the Jets Organization. Does it suck to lose your job around Xmas? Absolutely. But is it an excuse to say, “Well, you could have ended his career, it was dirty, but we won’t fire you because Xmas is coming up.” Come’ on man! This is the kind of action that gives teams brutal reputations that unfortunately stick, even if it happens only once or twice. As the Pats were busted in Spygate, Belichek was thereon labeled as a cheater. If Ryan doesn’t fire this guy for one of the dirtiest acts a conditioning coach can make, what will he be labeled? The dirtiest coach with a big mouth? I have a ton of respect for Ryan and the Jets Organization, but this is a decision that hinders that level of respect. Like someone else mentioned above, if any of you did something to jeopardize someone else’s career or life and damaged the company’s reptuation, you WILL be fired. No questions asked. It’s automatic termination. This should be no different, especially when these guys are held to a higher standard. So dissapointing something like this happened. I trust Ryan will make the right decision and hold a level of integrity and respect.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Glad to see that Jets fans are not trying to defend or rationalize this action.
However, from a Lions fan, the next time you think of calling another team “dirty” you might want to look in the mirror before opening your collective orifices.
Well, it doesn't make the Lions players any less dirty.
But what this guy did was despicable.

I know you Jets fans consider yourselves "little brothers" to the Pats, but do you have to take everything they say at face value?
I guess they did not mention the behind the back shot that Gronkowski gave KVB knocking him out of the rest of the season? Or the arm wrenching of Shaun Hill, the left broken arm, in a scrum?
Yeah, our team is the dirty one. Right.
Fire his ass
He’s a completely replaceable person, and it’s really the only right thing to do in this case.
