With their defensive unit showing promise under\u200d Saleh, the offense&#8217;s struggles\u2014particularly after \u2063the return of quarterback Aaron Rodgers\u2014have been\u200c a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amber-waves-of-pain-thanksgiving-dinners-will-be-20-more-expensive-this-year\/\" title=\"Amber Waves Of Pain: Thanksgiving Dinners Will Be 20% More Expensive This Year\">significant factor contributing<\/a> to his dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>The situation surrounding Saleh&#8217;s firing was unusual, especially with reports of him being escorted out by security, which raises questions about the team \u2064dynamics and \u200bthe rationale behind the decision. Woody Johnson,\u200d the team&#8217;s owner, pointed out that the \u200bdecision was his alone, reflecting a desire to shift the team&#8217;s direction \u200dand capitalize on what he \u200cbelieves is the \u2064best roster he&#8217;s seen during his tenure. In taking this course of action, the franchise appears to be prioritizing \u2062a quick turnaround, which historically \u2062has led to mixed results \u2064for the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>The response from Saleh, noting that he was &#8220;blindsided&#8221; \u200cby\u2063 the\u200b abrupt decision, indicates a disconnect between \u2064the coaching staff and \u200dmanagement. This has led to further speculation about the internal challenges faced by the team.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Jets&#8217; decision \u200bto promote defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/usc-moves-on-from-clay-helton-will-conduct-national-search-for-next-head-coach\/\" title=\"USC Moves On From Clay Helton, Will Conduct \u2018National Search\u2019 For Next Head Coach\">interim head coach<\/a> seems counterintuitive since the primary issues lie within the\u2063 offense. This move\u2062 may not yield the desired results, especially \u200bwith a challenging schedule ahead. The upcoming matchups against formidable \u200bopponents such as the Buffalo Bills and\u2064 Pittsburgh Steelers will test Ulbrich&#8217;s leadership capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Saleh&#8217;s status \u200das the first American Muslim \u2062head coach in the NFL adds another\u2063 layer of complexity to his firing, with groups like CAIR raising\u2064 concerns\u200c about the treatment he received upon his departure. Such considerations highlight the interplay between sports and social dynamics, impacting public\u200d perception and\u200b discussions about \u200didentity \u200bin high-profile\u200d positions.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d evaluating the Jets&#8217; history of \u200bcoaching changes and \u2062player \u2063development failures, it \u2063seems\u200c clear that the management&#8217;s\u200c decisions \u200dwill continue \u200bto be \u2063scrutinized.\u200b While\u200b ownership may feel\u200d justified in their current direction, the franchise&#8217;s long history of instability raises \u2064doubts \u200dabout the efficacy of \u200btheir choices. \u2062As the Jets navigate their latest chapter, they\u2064 must \u200bcontend not only with on-field performance but \u200dalso the external\u2063 implications of their internal dynamics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The great thing about the NFL is that it&rsquo;s one of the most consistently surprising top-flight sports leagues in the world.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t Formula One or the English Premier League &mdash; two associations I love, to be fair, but one where one or two teams almost always dominate the season. It&rsquo;s not even the NBA, where, despite 16 teams making the playoffs (actually 20 if you count the play-in games for the final two seeds, which are&nbsp;<em>de facto<\/em> playoff games), you can be pretty much assured before the season starts who has a chance at making the NBA Finals and who doesn&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n<p>In the NFL, the Detroit Lions &mdash; one of the league&rsquo;s most consistent losers &mdash; came within a hair&rsquo;s breath of the Super Bowl last year. They were defeated by the San Francisco 49ers, led by a star QB who was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/brock-purdys-unbelievable-nfl-journey-mr-irrelevant-potential-super-bowl-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last player taken in his NFL Draft class<\/a>. The 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, who &hellip; all right, they&rsquo;ve been predictably great for most of the last decade, but their last Super Bowl appearance before the Patrick Mahomes era was after the 1969 season, when they were repping the American Football&nbsp;<em>League<\/em>, not the American Football Conference.<\/p>\n<p>But, if there&rsquo;s one airtight rule that applies to any NFL season, it&rsquo;s this: The New York Jets are gonna New York Jet, even with Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest plot twist in the never-ending football soap opera &ldquo;As the Gang Green Dumpster Fire Turns,&rdquo; head coach Robert Saleh was fired after a 2-3 start. Not only that, he had to be <em>escorted out of the building<\/em> by security, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Now, after being a popular preseason pick to go to the Super Bowl, the Jets will have to navigate a rocky patch of its schedule with an interim head coach, deal with the fallout from the controversial forced exit (literally) of the popular Saleh, and even questions from Islamic groups over why the Muslim Saleh became the first Jets head coach to be fired in-season under current owner Woody Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Per multiple sources, Jets coach Robert Saleh was escorted out of the building by the team&rsquo;s director of security, after Saleh got the news,&rdquo; the usually reliable Mike Florio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/robert-saleh-was-escorted-out-of-building-by-director-of-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC Sports<\/a> reported. &ldquo;That didn&rsquo;t happen, we&rsquo;re told, when the Jets fired Saleh&rsquo;s predecessor, Adam Gase.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And Gase was far, far worse than Saleh, who&rsquo;s brought the Jets to respectability with a tight defense. Unfortunately, the offense hasn&rsquo;t exactly done the job &mdash; and the return of Aaron Rodgers after he was out for the season due to an injury on the first drive of the 2023 campaign hasn&rsquo;t actually helped matters.<\/p>\n<p>Florio said that while this isn&rsquo;t unprecedented, there are few precedents. The last one he remembers was Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis, who was escorted out by security in 2009. However, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/news\/story?id=4616312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a> noted at the time, Kokinis was dismissed by the team &ldquo;for cause,&rdquo; not performance, and there were no shortage of unconfirmed rumors about Kokinis&rsquo; personal life that supposedly precipitated the firing and the personal escort out of the building. (We&rsquo;ll just leave it there.)<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For high-level employees of any organization, it&rsquo;s a bad look. It&rsquo;s a power play, plain and simple,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nfl-coach-fired-surprise-replacement-mainstream-media-crying-racism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florio<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>But remember: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-29-year-old-pro-tells-new-york-jets-retiring-football-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jets are gonna Jet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, who has owned the team for exactly a quarter of a century now, said the decision to fire Saleh was &ldquo;my decision and mine alone.&rdquo; He&rsquo;ll be replaced by defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is probably the best team I&rsquo;ve had in 25 years,&rdquo; Johnson said during a conference call with the media, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/41679781\/jets-fire-coach-robert-saleh-2-3-start-sources-say\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a>. &ldquo;I just felt that the best way to go forward was a new direction.

Certainly disappointed he wasn&rsquo;t going to be given the opportunity to get things going with what he said is a very good roster,&rdquo; Glazer wrote on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, whenever I feel the urge to publicly criticize an internal personnel decision a sports organization makes, I remember the advice of the epigrammatical former Saints and Colts head coach Jim &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NK3Jx2yvtVE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Playoffs?!<\/em><\/a>&rdquo; Mora to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V9hY6TVWRms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>: &ldquo;You think you know, but you<em>&nbsp;don&rsquo;t know.<\/em>&rdquo; In other words: These are professionals who dedicate their entire lives to football, while we&rsquo;re talking heads, writers and\/or reporters who may have some&nbsp;<em>knowledge<\/em> of the game, but our knowledge is grossly asymmetrical to that of those on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, this is the New York Jets, so I feel much safer in the assumption that maybe the talking heads outside the building have a bit more to say about a franchise that finds new and innovative ways to besmirch itself season after season.<\/p>\n<p>While finding an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kings-fire-interim-coach-alvin-gentry\/\" title=\"Kings Fire Interim Coach Alvin Gentry\">interim coach<\/a> from the outside is practically impossible at this point in the NFL season, given the infeasibility of starting your system over from scratch, promoting Ulbrich &mdash; a defensive specialist &mdash; to fix a team where the problem is offense is deeply counterintuitive. Yes, the Jets are coming off of two close losses to the Denver Broncos (10-9) and Minnesota Vikings (23-17) in which offensive woes were the primary culprit. Perhaps ditching Saleh for Ulbrich solves those issues, although one is hard-pressed to think of&nbsp;<em>how<\/em> that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it&rsquo;s not like Ulbrich gets much chance to adjust: Three of the Jets&rsquo; next four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">games<\/a> are against teams that look playoff-bound: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/damar-hamlin-gives-glory-god-incredible-monday-night-football-moment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buffalo Bills<\/a>, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans. (The only respite is an Oct. 27 game against the woeful New England Patriots, who the Jets have already beat 24-3 &mdash; but that was at home, and the upcoming matchup will be in Foxborough.)<\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, there&rsquo;s the matter of&nbsp;<em>how<\/em> the firing was handled, with a security escort. It&rsquo;s unclear who leaked this. It looks bad if it was from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-aaron-rodgers-leaves-fans-stunned-pushing-coach-wanted-hug-not-big-hugger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saleh&rsquo;s<\/a> side. If it was the Jets, that&rsquo;s even worse.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, identity politics has also entered the mix, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/us-army-war-college-drops-speech-terror-expert-cair-cites-anti-muslim-racism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muslim activist group CAIR<\/a> immediately voicing concerns over the firing.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We commend Coach Robert Saleh for making history as the first American Muslim head coach in NFL history,&rdquo; the group said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cair.com\/press_releases\/cair-calls-on-jets-to-explain-unusual-hostility-in-treatment-of-fired-coach-robert-saleh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. &ldquo;Although no one should jump to conclusions about why the Jets fired Coach Saleh, the report that Jets security physically escorted Saleh out of the building does raise concerns about the possible motive for such unusual hostility &mdash; especially given that Saleh wore a Lebanese flag pin at a game just days ago and that owner Woody Johnson is a former Trump administration official who has been accused of making racially charged remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We encourage the Jets to thoroughly explain its unusually hostile reported treatment of Coach Saleh.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That &ldquo;racially charged remarks&rdquo; accusation is a (pun unintended) trumped-up series of <a href=\"https:\/\/wfin.com\/fox-sports\/islamic-group-calls-out-jets-for-firing-robert-saleh-after-wearing-lebanon-pin-amid-israel-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegations<\/a> made by his staff when Johnson was Trump&rsquo;s appointed ambassador to the United Kingdom which really doesn&rsquo;t deserve going into &mdash; although it does throw a few more Molotov cocktails into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/extremists-in-portland-attack-police-officers-vandalize-businesses-set-fires\/\" title=\"Extremists In Portland Attack Police Officers, Vandalize Businesses, Set Fires\">dumpster fire<\/a> from hell.<\/p>\n<p>And mind you, this is just talking about the fallout from the Saleh debacle. The Jets have gone to the Super Bowl once, after the 1968 season, thanks to Joe Willie Namath&rsquo;s expert quarterbacking. They became the first AFL team to win against the NFL. Since then, it&rsquo;s pretty much been a horror show.<\/p>\n<p>Namath is remembered much more fondly than he actually&nbsp;<em>should<\/em> be; statistically speaking, his career was derailed by injuries after that Super Bowl run and he only briefly showed flashes of his past form after the AFL-NFL merger. Yet, every QB the Jets draft or bring in is expected to be the next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-embattled-qb-caleb-williams-fire-spotted-purse-leaving-nfl-fans-enraged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Namath<\/a> &mdash; and they aren&rsquo;t. Heck, Namath <em>wasn&rsquo;t even really<\/em> Namath, at least in the legendary form Jets fans remember him being.<\/p>\n<p>A whole host of highly touted draft picks in the decades since have fallen short or just plain flamed out. There was Ken O&rsquo;Brien, a virtual unknown the Jets picked in the 1983 draft while Dan Marino was still on the board. O&rsquo;Brien had a few good years, to be fair. So did Chad Pennington, but his career was also derailed by injuries. Mark &ldquo;Butt Fumble&rdquo; Sanchez and Zach Wilson? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>(It&rsquo;s worth noting that the Jets seem to be one constant in these busts; both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/darnold-recovers-1st-play-pick-6-helps-jets-rout-lions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sam Darnold<\/a> and Geno Smith, who also flamed out during their time with Gang Green, have flourished elsewhere. In fact, Darnold quarterbacked the Vikings to the 23-17 win that ultimately ended Saleh&rsquo;s tenure.)<\/p>\n<p>And then there are the solid veterans who have been brought in to QB the team over the hump and failed. Vinny Testaverde came the closest, but he couldn&rsquo;t do the trick. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hall-fame-qb-brett-favre-drops-major-diagnosis-talks-health-issues-congressional-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brett Favre<\/a>, Boomer Esiason, Neil O&rsquo;Donnell and Ryan Fitzpatrick have all fallen short of expectations. It pains me to say it, but it looks like Aaron Rodgers could join that unlucky club.<\/p>\n<p>As for coaching changes, just remember that this is the team that fired future Super Bowl champion coach Pete Carroll after one 6-10 season because they were in win-now mode.

Unlike Formula One or the English Premier League, where a few teams often dominate, or even the NBA, where playoff contenders are usually clear from the start, the NFL surprises fans consistently. For instance, last season saw the Detroit Lions\u2014historically one of the league&#8217;s underperformers\u2014come close to reaching the Super Bowl before being eliminated by a San Francisco 49ers team led by a quarterback who was picked last in his draft class. The 49ers then faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in that Super Bowl; while they&#8217;ve been strong contenders for much of recent history, their previous appearance before Patrick Mahomes was back in 1969 when they represented the American Football League.<\/p>\n<p>However, one constant remains: The New York Jets will always find ways to disappoint their fans. In a dramatic turn of events for this ongoing saga known as &#8220;As the Gang Green Dumpster Fire Turns,&#8221; head coach Robert Saleh was dismissed after starting with a record of 2-3 and reportedly had to be escorted out by security following his firing.<\/p>\n<p>After being favored as potential Super Bowl contenders at season&#8217;s start, now they face challenges ahead with an interim coach and fallout from Saleh\u2019s abrupt exit\u2014including scrutiny over why he became the first Jets head coach fired mid-season under current owner Woody Johnson. Reports indicate that Saleh was taken out by security upon receiving news of his termination\u2014a stark contrast to how previous coaches have been let go.<\/p>\n<p>Saleh had improved team performance with solid defense but struggled offensively; even Aaron Rodgers&#8217; return after an early-season injury hasn&#8217;t resolved these issues. While such firings aren&#8217;t unheard of in football history\u2014Mike Florio recalls Cleveland Browns GM George Kokinis being similarly escorted out\u2014the optics here are troubling for high-level employees within any organization.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson stated that firing Saleh was solely his decision and appointed defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as interim head coach in hopes it would lead them toward playoff aspirations. However, reports suggest that Saleh felt blindsided by this decision and disappointed not to continue working with what he believed was a talented roster.<\/p>\n<p>In discussing internal decisions made within sports organizations like this one, it&#8217;s essential to remember that those involved have far more insight than outside commentators do\u2014even if it is easy to critique franchises like the Jets based on their long history of missteps and failures.<\/p>\n<p>Finding an external replacement at this point seems impractical given how late it is into NFL season; promoting Ulbrich\u2014a defensive specialist\u2014to address offensive struggles appears counterproductive. With tough upcoming games against likely playoff teams looming ahead (aside from facing struggling rivals), time will tell if these changes yield positive results or further complicate matters for New York\u2019s beleaguered franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally concerning is how Saleh&#8217;s dismissal has sparked discussions about identity politics due to him being Muslim; activist groups have raised alarms regarding potential motives behind such treatment during his exit from coaching duties amid allegations surrounding Johnson\u2019s past comments during his tenure as ambassador under Trump administration\u2014which adds another layer onto an already tumultuous situation surrounding this storied yet troubled franchise known for its historical struggles since winning its only Super Bowl back in 1969 led by Joe Namath\u2019s legendary playmaking abilities on field despite subsequent years filled mostly with disappointment across various coaching tenures since then including notable names who failed expectations along way too often leading fans wondering whether current star players can finally break cycle once again moving forward amidst all chaos unfolding around them currently!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2352598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/saleh.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[42640,42639,42638],"class_list":["post-2352597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-coaching-changes","tag-ex-jets","tag-robert-saleh"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/saleh.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2352598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
