Jets Fire Coach Robert Saleh Amid Struggles

Robert Saleh has been fired as head coach of the New York Jets after a disappointing 2-3 start to the season, making him the first NFL coach dismissed in 2024. Despite initial promise, Saleh struggled to develop the team's offense, even with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, leading owner Woody Johnson to make a change. Interim coach Jeff Ulrich has been appointed to lead the team for the remainder of the season, as speculation grows about other coaches on the hot seat, including Doug Pederson of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Billy Napier of Florida. Saleh's potential return to college football has also been discussed, as he could join teams looking to bolster their coaching staff. The trend of midseason coaching changes highlights rising impatience among team owners and administrators in both the NFL and college football. As the season progresses, more coaching changes are expected before the Thanksgiving holiday.
