Breaking News: New York Jets Dismiss Coach Robert Saleh, Name Jeff Ulbrich Interim Coach Following Disappointing Start

Tuesday, October 8th, 2024

The New York Jets have parted ways with their head coach, Robert Saleh, after starting the season with a disappointing 2-3 record.

Jeff Ulbrich, the defensive coordinator, will step in as the interim head coach for the rest of the season.

This change marks the first time in Woody Johnson's 25 years as owner that a coaching shift has happened mid-season. Despite high aspirations, the Jets have not performed well, especially on the offensive side.

With Aaron Rodgers out due to injury, the Jets have cycled through six different quarterbacks under Saleh's guidance. The list includes Zach Wilson, Mike White, Joe Flacco, and Trevor Siemian.

Saleh was known for a solid defense, but the offense struggled significantly. Although Wilson was drafted second overall in Saleh's first season with the team, he has had ongoing difficulties and is currently not playing.
