Donnie Henderson (born May 17, 1957) is an American football coach.
[1] In 2005, the Jets had a second-ranked defense against the pass, but a 32nd-ranked defense against the run, which undoubtedly was one of the factors leading to the team's disappointing 4–12 record (in addition to Chad Pennington and Curtis Martin being absent for most of the season due to injury).
Henderson was not kept on after head coach Herman Edwards was replaced by Eric Mangini following the season.
Henderson soon accepted the defensive coordinator position for the Detroit Lions and new head coach, Rod Marinelli.
[5] In October 2018, he was announced as the defensive coordinator for the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football.
