Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi resigned Monday, nearly two months after a well-publicized tripping incident along the New York sidelines. Alosi, who had been suspended without pay and fined $25,000 for the incident, was caught intentionally trying to trip Miami gunner Nolan Carroll as the Dolphins’ player tried to make his way down the field on a play in the Dec. 12 Jets-Dolphins game.

“After speaking with Sal, he decided that it is best for him to tender his resignation at this time,” general manager Mike Tannenbaum said in a statement released by the team. “We appreciate all of Sal’s contributions during his tenure with the team. He played an invaluable role in our success and established what we feel is one of the better strength and conditioning programs in the NFL.”

“I’m thankful to have been a part of the New York Jets,” Alosi said in the statement. “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.”
