New York Jets Fire Head Coach Robert Saleh Amidst Disappointing Season Start

The New York Jets have officially dismissed head coach Robert Saleh following a 2-3 record this season. Owner Woody Johnson asserted that the decision to fire Saleh was solely his, aiming to bring 'new energy' to the team, which he believes holds great potential. Reports indicate that Saleh was blindsided by the firing and had to be escorted out of the team facility. The Jets are now in search of a new head coach, with interim coach Jeff Ulbrich taking over in the meantime. Amid the turmoil, speculation arises regarding the influence of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the decision, as well as potential coaching candidates, including notable names like Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel. The move has garnered mixed reactions, with some viewing Saleh as a scapegoat for the team's overall struggles.
