Sal Alosi Resigns as Jets' Strength Coach

New York Jets head strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi announced his resignation on Monday.

Alosi was suspended indefinitely, and the Jets were fined $100,000, after Alosi stuck out his knee to trip Miami Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll, who had been steered onto the Jets' sidelines while covering a punt on December 12.

Carroll was not injured on the play, and Alosi apologized to Carroll and the Dolphins after the game.

"I’m thankful to have been a part of the New York Jets," Alosi said in a statement released by the Jets on Monday. "I am especially grateful to Mr. Johnson, Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan for allowing me the opportunity to be a head strength and conditioning coach in this league.

"I have many fond memories, including earning my first NFL job in 2002. After the events that have transpired, I feel it’s best for my family and me to look for a fresh start. I wish nothing but the best for the entire organization."
