In retaining Boyer, he Jets bring back a respected member of the staff who has now managed to survive a second coaching staff purge since being hired by Todd Bowles prior to his departure. Boyer has done a solid job despite some massive overhauls at the bottom of the roster, earning the respect of his peers.
A former special teams ace himself back in his playing days, Boyer is viewed by some as a potential head coach in the future.
