Same ole Jets…
New York Jets fire coach Robert Saleh after 2-3 start to season
New York Jets fire coach Robert Saleh after 2-3 start to season
Robert Saleh quite obviously entered the 2024 NFL season on the hot seat. Tuesday morning, the New York Jets hit his eject button.
Following a highly disappointing 2-3 start − and what appeared to be ongoing friction with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers – team owner Woody Johnson had seen enough, and Saleh became the first head coach in the league fired this season.
…
Despite consistently good defenses, the bread and butter for a longtime NFL assistant and coordinator, Saleh, 45, was undone by long-chronic quarterback issues – first Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick of the 2021 draft who was a near-total bust, and Rodgers. The four-time MVP kindled fresh Super Bowl hopes for the franchise upon being acquired from the Green Bay Packers in 2023. But after last year's Week 1 Achilles injury ended Rodgers' season after four snaps, this season's turbulent start was apparently too much for Johnson, who said during the offseason that he expected major results in 2024, to bear.
