Jets Offer DL Coach Job To Karl Dunbar

The New York Jets have offered their defensive line coach position to Karl Dunbar, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

According to Mehta, it's believed that Dunbar will accept the offer.

A former NFL defensive end with the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals, the 44-year-old Dunbar spent the last six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before he was dismissed by head coach Leslie Frazier. Three Vikings defensive linemen -- Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams -- combined for 11 Pro Bowl appearances over the last six seasons.

The Vikings also led the NFL in run defense from 2006 through 2008, finishing second in 2009 before sliding down to 11th in 2011. The Vikings tied for the league lead with 50 quarterback sacks this season.

Dunbar also one season as the Chicago Bears defensive line coach on his resume, which includes defensive line coach stints with Nicholls State, LSU and Oklahoma State.
