Jets, D-line coach part ways in 'mutual decision'
 

The AP reports:

Rex Ryan decided he needed to start making changes.

With the New York Jets spiraling in a 1-5 stretch, Ryan parted ways with defensive line coach Kerry Locklin on Monday in a move the coach called a "mutual decision."

Locklin was hired by Ryan, a longtime friend, after nine seasons as the defensive line coach at Fresno State. The two coached together at Morehead State from 1990-93, and Ryan wouldn't go so far as to say Locklin was fired.
