The New York Jets have made headlines with the surprising dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh following the team’s 2-3 start to the season. According to a report from Mike Florio of *Pro Football Talk*, Saleh was escorted from the Jets’ facility by the team’s director of security after being informed of his firing. This rare move, reminiscent of a similar incident with former Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis in 2009, has raised eyebrows across the NFL.
The Jets’ decision to part ways with Saleh comes after a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Despite Saleh’s respected status in the locker room, the Jets have opted for a change in leadership, appointing defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
The abrupt nature of Saleh’s departure highlights the Jets’ desire to quickly address their struggles and maintain a chance at making the playoffs in the highly competitive AFC.
