The New York Jets have made the unprecedented decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh after a disappointing 2-3 start to the season. Owner Woody Johnson, frustrated with the team's performance, hopes that a change in leadership will revitalize the struggling offense, which has been a major issue despite the team's talented roster. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been named interim head coach, but questions remain about the future of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who may be stripped of playcalling duties. The Jets are under immense pressure to turn their season around, especially with a playoff drought that has lasted 13 years.
- The Jets have not made the playoffs in 13 years, the longest active drought in the NFL.
- Owner Woody Johnson is hoping for a turnaround similar to the Las Vegas Raiders' success after changing coaches mid-season.
