Matt Cavaunaugh will not return as the Jets QB coach in 2013.
His contract is set to expire soon and the Jets won't re-sign him.
It came as a surprise to some that Cavanaugh was brought back following the 2011 season, but the Jets chose to retain him after speaking with several candidates. But after a season in which Mark Sanchez regressed dramatically -- and Tim Tebow's presence complicated matters -- Cav was cut loose.
