Summary
The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after two consecutive losses and a 2-3 record this season. Saleh went 20-36 over three-plus seasons with the Jets after a successful stint as the San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator.
Carton says firing Robert Saleh was the right way to fix the Jets' issues. He thinks that the head coach might have been scapegoated for the quarterback's underwhelming play.
‘The Facility' crew debates: Was Saleh firing justified, and what role did Rodgers play? LeSean McCoy believes that New York made a mistake in canning Saleh at this point.
Team owner Woody Johnson said in a press conference Tuesday that the decision to fire Saleh was purely his own and he did not speak to Rodgers about it beforehand. Rodgers' former Green Bay Packers teammate James Jones seems to accept that account, claiming that it is not in Rodgers' nature to demand a head coach's firing.
Cowherd believes that the decision to fire Saleh was a rash move made to help the organization feel better after a stinging loss. Mangini also thought the game was important to Johnson because they were going up against former Jets quarterback pick Sam Darnold.
Cowherd and Wright say the Jets are not a good place to be a head coach. Wright says the only jobs that become open are Cleveland, Carolina and New Orleans.
Cowherd says the Jets will face even stiffer competition in the head coaching market. "If one coach was going to be fired, it should have been Hackett," Broussard says.
