NextImg:Robert Saleh ‘blindsided’ by his bombshell Jets firing

Robert Saleh was as shocked as anyone by his firing Tuesday morning.

The now-former Jets head coach was “blindsided” by owner Woody Johnson walking into his office and telling him he was making a coaching change, Saleh told Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.

“Certainly disappointed he wasn’t going to be given the opportunity to get things going with what he said is a very good roster,” Glazer added.

The Jets entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations with Aaron Rodgers having recovered from the torn Achilles he suffered four plays into the first game of the 2023 season, crushing the hopes the franchise had for a rejuvenation after courting Rodgers in the offseason.

But the Jets fell to 2-3 on Sunday with a 23-17 loss to Sam Darnold and the Vikings in London in which the offense struggled mightily, with Rodgers throwing three interceptions.

It was perhaps a bad sign when linebacker Quincy Williams told SNY after Sunday’s loss that “people gotta start taking accountability. People get tired of hearing the same thing every week.”

Saleh, 45, had a 20-36 record as the Jets head coach.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was named the interim head coach for the rest of the season.
