This afternoon, the spotlight shines on a new addition to the coaching staff in 2012. His work is a key factor in the success of the Jets, as one of his new charges in the versatile first round choice, Quinton Coples. Spotlight on defensive line coach, Karl Dunbar.
Born in 1967, he was a second team All-SEC in his senior year at LSU. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the eighth round of the 1990 draft, and had a brief career in the NFL with Pittsburgh as well as the Arizona Cardinals, last seen in the NFL as a player in 1995 with Arizona.
Dunbar comes with an accomplished resume as a def line coach. He coached the defensive lines for Nicholls State University and Oklahoma State University in the late 90s and early 00s. With OSU, he tutored Kevin Williams to being the school’s first def lineman picked in the first round in 17 years.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
