Robert Saleh grew to become the primary NFL head coach to lose their job this season as he was fired by the New York Jets after final Sunday’s loss in London, and I used to be stunned that it occurred so early.
It is not like they’ve a horrible file. They’re 2-3 and going into Monday Evening Soccer towards Buffalo, their divisional rivals. They could possibly be enjoying for first of their division, so it felt a bit abrupt actually however, in the end, I do not suppose Saleh was the difficulty.
If you herald a quarterback like four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers – one of many largest names within the sport – you are bringing in way more than only a participant. He nearly turns into his personal offensive coordinator, proper? That is not essentially a straightforward relationship for a head coach and quarterback to have, and there have been indicators of murkiness within the water between Saleh and Rodgers.
Rodgers had a extremely good recreation towards the Patriots three weeks in the past however there was that second when Saleh went to hug him and Rodgers pushed him away. Then after shedding to Denver, they each talked about cadence points and other people being held accountable. These had been indicators it was going this manner however coming this quickly, I believe it is unlucky on Saleh.
The Jets have made [defensive coordinator] Jeff Ulbrich the interim head coach and he mentioned [quarterbacks coach] Todd Downing will grow to be the offensive play-caller.
He is primarily demoted [offensive coordinator] Nathaniel Hackett, which I believe is what Saleh needed to do earlier than he was fired. However Saleh, a defensive-minded head coach, had misplaced that energy on the offensive aspect of the ball and I do not really feel like Rodgers would have been making {that a} good setting for him.
I believe it is actually telling that as quickly as Ulbrich will get into the function, he demotes Hackett. Ulbrich’s been there, he is seen what is going on on, he is been in all of the group conferences, so he’ll know what the difficulty is.
