The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after a disappointing start to the season with Aaron Rodgers as quarterback. Saleh, hired in 2021, finished his Jets coaching record at 20-26. The team had high hopes for the 2024 season with Rodgers returning from a leg injury that had kept him out for most of 2023. The Jets lost their season opener to the San Francisco 49ers but won against the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots. However, they suffered frustrating losses to the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings in the past two weekends.
There have been tensions between Rodgers and Saleh, with the coach attributing some mistakes, such as false start penalties, to Rodgers’ cadence. In a game against the Patriots, Rodgers seemingly rebuffed Saleh’s attempt to hug him after a touchdown. The Jets have decided to make a change in coaching amid these struggles. This is a developing story, and updates are expected to come.
