The New York Jets have made a surprising decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh after a disappointing 2-3 start to the season. This move comes amidst frustrations following a loss to the Vikings and raises questions about the timing and rationale behind the decision. With the team struggling offensively while the defense remains strong, the firing has sparked debate about whether Saleh was truly the problem and what this means for the Jets' season moving forward.
- The Jets' decision to fire Saleh is unprecedented for a coach with a .400 winning percentage in the first half of the season.
- The team's defense has been performing well, ranking fifth in EPA per play, while the offense has struggled significantly.
- The move raises questions about the accountability of the coaching staff and the direction of the team under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.
