Robert Saleh Was Forcibly Removed From Team Facility By Security After Getting Blindsided By Jets Firing

Robert Saleh did not expect to be fired by the New York Jets on Tuesday morning. The 45-year-old head coach was also escorted out of the team facility after the surprise ouster, which did not happen with his predecessor.

Needless to say, it was a chaotic morning in Florham Park, New Jersey.

Woody Johnson decided to give Saleh the boot after a 2-3 start to begin the 2024 NFL season. He believes the Jets are in position to win right now, and a sudden change of leadership is his response to frustrating losses to the Vikings and Broncos in back-to-back weeks. There is no legitimate or sourced indication that Aaron Rodgers had a direct role in the decision despite theories that are out there. It was the owner’s call.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will serve as the interim head coach for an undisclosed amount of time. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett will keep his job— for now. Saleh is gone.
