Saleh is probably relieved. He still gets paid, and he doesn't have to deal with Aaron Rodgers anymore.
Saleh, Matt LaFleur, and Mike McCarthy approve of this message.
@@frippertonics6421 LaFluer has never spoken ill of Aaron and McCarthy loves Aaron so try again
@@SolidMikePthat may be true in the sense of no one likes to be fired but this was going to end this way eventually. Rodgers is a shell of his former self, its obvious. Hes better than the previous QBs but not nearly good enough to overcome the OL issues. Theres definitely a part of Saleh thats got to be relieved, maybe thats the right word…..relieved that he can move on and get back to doing what he was successful at. No more Woody, no more A.Rodgers, no more trying to game plan around an O line thats still bad.
The problem was the offense. Saleh was a defensive coach and Rodgers had his own guy Hacket who was running it. Now Rodgers will have no one else to blame for his poor play. They put too much faith and power into a washed up QB.
So your prima donna quarterback is looking like a washed up 40 year old quarterback, but let's fire the HC. Those 3 interceptions Sunday were clearly on Rodgers.
They are clearly on Rodgers.... but Saleh sucks. He's not a good coach and has never been a good head coach.
Rogers is a prima Donna. His footwork is horrible and he doesn’t want pre-snap movement. But blame everyone else. What a baby.
Roger's didn't look like he really cared until the 4th quarter. Rest of the time he just seemed to pout.
You think they fired saleh because of yesterday? Look at the last four years bud. Guy is terrible with 95% of the roster turned over. Still a losing coach
@SNoCappidona So bud, is that roster on the HC? If so, why are they paying a GM? How much tampering leading to the abysmal product on the field is on the owner? Sounds like you've got the team you deserve, a year in, year out joke.
Wow, the last time the Vikings took a head in England was 1000 AD.
Aaron Rodgers is a coach killer.
Yeah, the guy has been in he NFL 20 seasons and Robert Saleh was his third head coach. The first one lasted 13 seasons in Green Bay before being fired, and has proven in Dallas he isn't that good a head coach. The second coach is still in Green Bay and doing well. Yeah, what a coach killer. I'm not taking Aaron Rodgers' side, because I think he's washed and as arrogant and weird as ever. But Saleh has been in New York since 2021, long before Rodgers finally took the field (for more than three plays) in 2024. The Jets have been spinning their wheels the whole time ando the buck stops with him. Just because you're a good defensive coordinator doesn't necessarily mean you're ready or able to lead an entire team.
As a PAcker fan I knew the losing would NEVER be AR’s fault 😂, old man should move on, he will not finish the season healthy..
Rodgers FIRES Saleh😂
When Saleh threw those interceptions in London I knew his days were numbered.
Especially when it came after he missed the winning field goal the previous week.
He can’t gameplan. The team is constantly underprepared and it has been for 4 years. He is the HEAD COACH and that is his job. He couldn’t perform.
The owners should fire the GM, instead of Saleh. Rodger’s wanted Hackett as OC, Saleh didn’t. The problem with the Jets isn’t the defense
@@Jcd5596Shows the ineptitude of that franchise considering his claim to fame is Sauce and Garrett Wilson who haven't even come close to being themselves this season 😂 what about every other move? 😂😂😂
Dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things...
@@GizmoMaltese I’d say “Like wearing a Lebanon Flag in the first place.” Your job is not a place for you to make political statements. He’s a football coach not a politician. Or was a football coach I should say.
It should be abundantly clear to every Jet fan by now that AR is a poisoned chalice.
Rodgers didn't like him and helped get him fired
The problem isn't that Saleh was fired mid season. The problem is that he wasn't fired before the season started.
Blame the coach the forever victim Aaron Rodgers had nothing to do with his own play, it was the o-line's fault, wr ran wrong route, defensive back was holding, the coach called the wrong play or maybe Rodgers could take accountability for his own poor play
@@jaybird3651 Aaron Rodgers played 4 snaps last year and the team did nothing. But the part of Saleh is how he handles the locker room and he has lost control of the locker room since year 1. The players dont seem to like him and/or respond to him positively. Its not just Rodgers. We have heard form multiple guys now and how he has handle situations. The media was literally saying how the Jets were about to go way off the rails. I think Saleh is a good DC but as a HC you are responsible for everything not just defense. The most important job is being the puppet master, culture setter, etc and Saleh never could do that. BUTTT I do think they should have kept Saleh for now and after week 10 if it looks bad then make the HC change.
Too soon in the season for this. Their record is very manageable at this juncture. Had to be something behind the scenes. Discord somewhere between key individuals.
Aaron had his guy Hackett. What a failure for both of them.
Rodgers is like the Tin Man he can barely move but blame the head coach 😅😅😅
Nat Hackett is who needs to be fired
If you think RODGERS is Listening to Hackett coaching I'd like to sell you NEW YORK
Being a Bears fan - all bad news for Rodgers is good news for us
I agree as a Packer owner, AR thinks he is an owner/GM/coach in his mind, QB just a side gig in his mind 😂
@@MarkMay-cr6bvhe ain’t owning anything behind that o-line. Lost to the broncos
Aaron Rodgers is behind this 100 percent.
Robert Saleh was a stand-out D coordinator for San Fran before taking the Jets HC job. He dared to challenge Rodgers publicly regarding cadence and trips to Egypt during mandatory mini-camp. The defense is keeping them in games where Rodgers can't execute.
Saleh will have a job next season. Rodgers won't.
Someone coaches are just that, great coordinators, but terrible head coaches.
The list is too long to name them all, but he is one of them. While they play in a terrible division (mainly due to injuries) and possibly could have made the playoffs with the defense they have, they weren't winning much after that.
Now Belichick can finally honor his original commitment to be the coach of the NY Jets. 😆
He never made that commitment the jets fired Parcells and promoted him without even telling him, now that's some jets ish
When I suggesed Belichick to Jets fans they wanted to rip my head off they hate him so much. lol
@@jaybird3651 Oh, I thought that he accepted it momentarily then got the New England offer and resigned. Belichick's resignation note, written on a napkin, read, "I resign as HC of the NYJ."
What a stupid take .... it's 10, 12 14, 9 penalties a game for years aready!!!!!!!! No Discipline, No Accountability, No Passion!!!! What's the matter with you???
Ravens lead the league in penalty yards but no one’s talking about it being Harbaugh’s fault because they’re winning games now, i think if they win against the Broncos or Vikings they dont fire Saleh
I agree! Plus he has lost control of the locker room every year hes been there. Everyone keeps saying well the defense is good, thats great make him a DC. But as a HC you are responsible for so much more. The biggest job of a HC is to keep the locker room together, to hold people accountable, be a culture setter and motivator. He never was good at this. The players dont seem to like or respond well to him. Everyone is quick to point at Rodgers but hes played what 5 games, this issues have been there since Saleh took the job
The problem is Aaron Rogers and the OC
“Delicate Genius” is hilariously insulting 😂.
It's a Seinfeld reference. Larry David is the original delicate genius
Florio off-script is even better. Such a sharp guy.
Lmfao.... The same guy that said Detroit missed their Super Bowl window? Sure.
If it weren't for Deshaun, Aaron would be getting way more scrutiny. He's not played up to the cost of a 1st & 2nd round pick.
Didn't think Saleh was the problem in N Y. but it's the Jets, they manufacture their own problems...
A quarter of the way... & the Jets already waving the white for 24-25. Somethings will never change... it's comforting.
It's obvious that Woody MAGA Johnson fired him for wearing that Lebanon flag.
Wow this might be the first time I’ve ever agreed with Florio about anything. Agree 100%
You must not be watching enough to realize that you agree with him more than you think.
Remember their QB talking about 'handling success' after beating the Patriots? 😂🤣
Rodgers is running the show and this is going to end very bad. Give draft picks for Adams and spin more out of control. If I was Adams I would not want to go there. It’s becoming like going to the browns
There's no way this happened without A-A-Ron's approval or consent.
I fully expect Aaron to be smoking a blunt and be candid 😂 8:42. I don’t always agree with Florio but I do agree with him this time. It’s like the Jets owner thought “Our defense is pretty good but offense kind of sucks. Let’s fire the defensive coach. That will fix things!”
He is the HEAD COACH. He has a defensive coach who did a good job with the defense. He was promoted to the entire team based on doing HIS job well. Saleh's job was all three phases. HE FAILED 3 and 1/3 seasons
@@richardprescott5939you don’t know how football works if you think like that. He ran the defensive unit and hacket/rogers run the offensive unit. He as a coach didn’t want hacket that’s how they had to hire to get rogers and we all know hacket was the worst coach in broncos history
If you are a jets fan please keep defending this nonsense. By the years end woody will clean house because this team isn’t going anywhere. They would be lucky to make the playoffs. Instead of being so defensive in the comment section try to understand the issue within the team
@@dilwalecricket Correct. It was the same with Belichick he was mostly hands off the offense all those years (and it showed when Josh McDaniels left!)
You haven't watched every Jet game. I have and have been watching football for 60 years. Saleh should have been fired before the start of the year. His team is rarely prepared and undisciplined. That causes you to lose close games.
@@NC-jb5fb agreed in part. But it doesn’t cause your Prima Dona ‘Saviour’ to throw interceptions, move like a sloth, or be a general cancer to every team he’s been on.
So do 3 picks and missed FGs. Meanwhile good defense makes every game winnable. All 5 games would not be winnable without Saleh’s defense. And 3-4 games are easy wins if offense wasn’t horse doodoo
I swear i literally watched Rich Eisen yesterday talk about how he interviewed both Saleh and Rodgers and said he felt absolutely 0% friction between them and that they got along well. Rich is either a bigger Jets rider than i thought, or is really bad at reading people lol
Eisen was drinking the green jet Kool-aid, believing the nonsense jets organization put out.Common sense tells you Roger's and Selah were out of sync, all year.
I enjoy Rich, but yeah he's the biggest Jets & Khaki Pants a-kisser. He still is lamenting the best player on the Chargers right now is a Buckeye. He insists that Rodgers will be great with Devonte. No he won't. He's done...he's 40 and his body can't take those hits. You could tell he was hurting in the MN game and making him throw 50 times isn't helping. So, yeah Rich can't admit that Rodgers ins't the Jets saviour.
Should of fired Hackett tbh .. he's the one calling the shots on one of the worst offenses in the league
If you think the problem is the coach, keeping the same team and changing the coach will give you some idea of what you have as a team. If 2 coaches can't win, maybe it means you need a different combination of talent.
This was Rodgers and nobody can convince me otherwise, and the fact that there are media members acting like it wasn’t is wild, people been burying lebron (rightfully so in some cases) for being a coach killer, keep that energy here
"Fans are fickle." ABSOLUTELY TRUE! After a win... "we are going to the superbowl" after a loss... "fire everyone!" Teams/coaches/owners need to have patience. Run it like a a business, and don't get caught up on whats said on Twitter!
Rogers is way over the hill. He should be fired...lol
This was the 2nd OC that the Jets had under this Rob Saleh leadership, cant keep pointing fingers at your OC if you hired them. At some point, its on Rob
As a Jets fan for 50+ years I am happy they fired Saleh. We don't need a cheerleader on the sideline, we need a dictator who is in control and Saleh was not in control of anything. Jeff Ulbrich will be that dictator.
No wonder the Jets been sucking for 50+ years, but hey... do you New York 🫵🏾😆
i really wish they made hackett head coach. it would have been so funny
Rodgers clearly orchestrated this. Did it to McCarthy and most of his teammates. Saleh's a true leader and excellent dude.
Aaron Rodgers is the worst thing to happen to the Jets since Woody.
Excellent commentary Mike! 👏
He doesn’t know what he s talking about. They had to fire him. He s aweful
Bad teams do what bad teams do...As a fan of a good organization, I live for when the Jets, Panthers, Browns and Jags make these types of moves- it means easy wins and good draft picks when they use their #1 pick on a QB that will fizzle out and good players are still on the board. Plus, they are firing him hoping he finds a new job next season and they don't have to pay his contract buyout price. The Jets are like school in the summertime; No Class...
Woody did the right thing. Saleh lost the team and his relationship with A_Aron was suspect.
Once Rodgers is gone, the Jets will improve
I can't comprehend how anyone can question firing Robert Saleh. He acts like a 13 year old cheerleader on the sidelines and has the most undisciplined and unaccountable team in the league for years. Nice guy, terrible head coach.
Because the defense is good and he is a defensive coach. The problem is the qb he didn't trade for and the OC he didn't want.
Aaron rodgers Tuesdays gonna go crazy
McAfee should ask why Sallah gets fired when Aaron gave the entire game away in the 1st quarter.
Yup, I’m pretty sure Robert Saleh’s firing has nothing to do with him wearing the Lebanese flag on his sweater on Sunday during the game. 🤷🏽♂️
while i would absolutely agree with you if he was somehow linked to the political world, i dont know if football fans / team owners would really care about something like that (or even recognize the Lebanon’s flag) i could absolutely be wrong though
He Lebanese himself. That’s why I don’t think it’s a big deal. Also, if we are talking about a political world, Hezbollah is the problem. Not Lebanon.
It's NOT that he wore the flag. It was the day he wore it. October 7th is the Israeli September 11th. With his LOSING record, he was either expecting to be fired or asking to be fired.
Jets fan fiction: "New head coach Bill Bellichik walks up and batman-slaps Rodgers on day one"
I have watched every single snap of football under the Robert saleh era. He’s not a good coach. He installs a good defense and can develop defensive talent. His game planing is terrible, his team is undisciplined and starts slow constantly, his clock management skills are awful and he’s extremely stubborn when it comes to making adjustments. All the energy saleh had in San Fran has been evaporated. Saleh is a great guy and a good motivator but he’s not an X’s and O’s coach. As a fan who’s watched every game, every practice, every press conference, this was the correct decision.
Not 5 games into the season. This whole season is done now. Terrible move
@@queitn6287 he’s in his 4th year and has been the same coach every year. Do you think it would be better for them to lose to Buffalo and Pittsburgh and be 2-5 and then you fire him when the seasons really over?? As a coach you are only as good as your record says you are and Robert saleh is 20-36. Enough said.
So then you should be aware that the defense was the only thing that worked for the jets!
@queitn6287 why wait, and teeter onto mediocrity. This was obvious it wasnt goin to work, so when do you pull the plug
@TheBigB22 but who do u blame when they lose this week or next, all I see is another excuse for Rodgers to dodge accountability for his own play, the o-line didn't block, wr ran wrong route, defense was holding, coach called wrong play that he audibled out of but since the beginning of time with Rodgers it's always someone else's fault, had Mike McCarthy pushed out when Rodgers just doesn't get it done when it counts
Truth! Truth! Truth! Thank you!!
Imagine spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a team and wanting a say in big decisions
Florio really grasping at straws here. Actin like Saleh didnt get more than enough of a chance. Actin like this firing was the worst in the history of the nfl over Belichick.
Actin like he placed a bet on first coach to be fired and it wasnt Saleh
I miss the comments section of the old PFT website, bring that back NBC/Mike.
5:29 Jerry Reinsdorf is the perfect candidate for this line
Tell us you want your team to tank without telling us you want your team to tank.
Saleh's defense was going to win too many games to get a top pick.
It makes perfect sense to do it now. This is Aaron Rodgers last season with these players with expiring contracts, a team that on paper should be alot better.. this is all on the hc. Woody Johnson did alot of stupid things but this isn't one of them. While alot of team owners fire coaches in their first season, woody is too patient at times, but today he did the right thing.
The problem with the Jets is the Offense, Rodgers and his boy Hackett should be fired along with the GM. Saleh's problem is he let Rodgers walk all over him.
And the Vikings win gets even sweeter. And no, not because I wished Saleh would be fired. But because in one inexplicable week, beyond win number: 5, the Vikes now have the DC replacement for when Flores accepts his HQ position in the offseason. Flores is the man but the impending nightmare facing the Vikes this offseason just turned the corner that they needed. The irony seems rosy. 🤞🏼💜
I think this is Rodgers avoiding responsibility.
I still believe in Mike White we shoulda kept em
How will it make it worse is a question Mike is avoiding. They’ve hit rock bottom, and Saleh has too good of a roster to be looking like this. Honestly, he’s not adding much as a head coach and firing him suggests that Woody wanted him gone last offseason and against his better judgement kept him on. This firing is long overdue.
Have you seen Carolina or the titans? The jets haven't hit rock bottom and it's only because of the defense. The qb with to much power and the OC that Salah didn't want the the qb brought on, are very obviously the problem.
@@zeroskaterjjr98 so your argument is to keep Saleh because he doesn’t do anything and has no say in any decisions? You just admitted that he doesn’t do anything.
The Rodgers-Mcafee segment - this week - will be more entertaining than any Jets game this season.
RS IS PROB HAPPY HE'S OUTTA THERE. HE'S NO QUITTER.
Cleveland or NYJ. Who’s got the biggest dysfunctional team in the league?
As a Browns fan I saw this today and thanked God for the New York Jets. It's definitely close but without them noone would be
you watch, Brian Flores gets a head coaching job in 2025 and Rob Saleh will be the Vikes new D-Coordinator xxD
ARod is the Boss!
I watched the game here in the UK and the lack of interaction between Saleh and Rogers was apparent . Now we realize something was up
I regrettably will have to watch mcafee today
@@adolfocastillo6254 McAfee has no choice other than glaze Rodgers because that’s how he continues to get the Tuesday appearances.😂
AR went down at the start of last season.
The Jets immediately turned their offence OFF for the year.
Now AR is back, a year older, the offence has been asleep for a year.
EVERYONE had to wake up and make the most of the season.
Surprised anybody ?
How is this dysfunctional. Like I feel like its early but he had 56 games over 4 years and it's the first time the Jets fired a HC in season since 1976.
And some people thought this team could make a deep playoff run💀💀
Someone has to be responsible for CHAOS!!! 😫😫😫
Jeta have No Receivers...they are Young and Not battle tested...smh
The AFC east is a mess the bills and the patriots look like they might doing the same thing.
They should make Aaron Rodgers head coach and QB1. At least make his real title official.
You can’t win with Florio- he’s oppositional to every move made by the Jets. He doesn’t understand that the players will stop trying in they don’t believe in the HC. Woody had to fire Saleh.
Firing your coach is equivalent to waiving the white flag. The Jets suck and always will because of BS like this.
Salah is a defensive coach and his defense was good. The qb was, once again, the problem.
If the Jets win their next game they are in first place.
I can't wait for the hit pieces coming out in the next few days. Things had to be FAR WORSE behind the scenes than anyone knew.
It's crazy how Rodgers has essentially taken the same path that Favre has to this point lol
Jets going for that first pick...
He had that Jets defense playing elite ball .the gm forcing Hackett on him then Rodgers predictably being bad with one of the worst playcallers on offense in the nfl . Firing him at 2-3 is crazy just as easily keep him until after the year
Jeff Ulbricht was in charge of the defense. He did a good job according to you. He was just promoted for doing a good job. Doesn't that sound like a sane move.
@@richardprescott5939 "Doesn't that sound like a sane move."
No. Jeff Ulbricht has no Head Coaching or Offensive Coaching experience.
His name is woody Johnson? 😂
He complained about Rogers' cadence what, 2 days ago? 😂
They should have put Hackett as interim HC!! He was great as Bronco HC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You owe Hub Arkush an apology, Florio
Saleh got fired for wearing the Lebanon flag in London. Why are people ignoring that? Firing Saleh now makes no sense. 2-3 is not the end of the world.
He’s Lebanese himself. Thats why I don’t believe that’s the issue. This is all about Aaron getting what he wants.
@@pokewack Woody is a MAGA guy. In MAGA world supporting Lebanon is the same as being anti-Israel liberal.
Hackett the bigger problem but still a good move
Elderly quarterbacks who throw lots of ints have that effect on head coaches.
Jets should have tried to draft JJ in the draft. Vikings are in great shape having him for the near future at least. Gives them great leverage to secure overall great team.
Woody Johnson has done the best thing he’s ever done as an owner IF the jets make the team playoffs!
I'd rather keep Saleh, and get rid of that troublemaker Rogers.
Easily the best thing to happen to the Jets. This team should be 4-1 but has been held back by terrible offensive game-plans and play calling. You’d think Saleh would learn game after game but it’s been the same script since last year. A change was needed
