Jets Hire Lou Holtz Seeks Quick Turnaround in 1976
New Jets coach Lou Holtz vows a competitive, exciting team built on youth. He Cleaned house, cutting seven starters and trading or shipping several veterans. Holtz named Alabama QB Richard Todd as his No. 1 draft pick to groom as Namath’s successor while Namath rebuilds his game. Offense looks solid with Namath, Caster, Barkum and Knight, but the defense remains a major concern with a unsettled secondary and chaotic linebacking.
