New York Jets Fire Coach Robert Saleh After 2-3 Start And Apparent Tension With Aaron Rodgers

Saleh was 20-36 as the Jets coach five games into his fourth season on the job. The Jets entered the 2024 season with Super Bowl aspirations as quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned from a season-ending injury in 2023.

The Jets have not looked good in the early part of the season, though, and have dropped the last two games. The final straw was a 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London on Sunday, a game in which Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions and the offense looked lost for much of the game.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will be the interim head coach.

Saleh had one year remaining on the contract he signed in 2021. 

This is the first time that Woody Johnson has fired a head coach during the season and the first time the Jets have had a coaching change in the middle of the season since 1976 when Lou Holtz quit.
