Last month, the Rams hired former Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur to fill that same position.
LaFleur, under head coach Sean McVay, will get to work with veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who won the Super Bowl last year.
The Jets and LaFleur mutually agreed to part ways after a 7-10 season that came to a finale after a six-game losing streak. To make things bleaker, the Jets couldn’t score a touchdown in the last three games. They have since hired Nathaniel Hackett, the former Denver Broncos head coach who was fired after his first year.
LaFleur and Benton joined the Jets in 2021 with head coach Robert Saleh. The team is 11-23 in the two seasons since and has failed to make the playoffs both years.

LaFleur is taking over for the recently departed Liam Coen who has taken a job as offensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky.
