ARodJetsFan Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Jets’ Robert Saleh favored to be first head coach fired this NFL season (msn.com) Jets’ Robert Saleh favored to be first head coach fired this NFL season© Provided by ClutchPoints The New York Jets are entering the 2024 campaign with both a chip on their shoulder and plenty of expectations. If Robert Saleh can’t lead the Jets back into playoff contention, his time in New York could come to a close. Saleh is the NFL head coach most likely to be fired first during the 2024 campaign at +500 odds, via betonline.ag. Mike McCarthy of the Dallas Cowboys (+600) and Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus (+700) make up the top three while New Orleans Saints’ Dennis Allen (+700) and Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles round out the top five. Saleh has been with the Jets since 2021, amassing a 18-33 record as head coach. New York has had back-to-back seasons with a 7-10 record and has yet to make the playoffs under Saleh. That’s not to say it’s all the head coach’s fault though. In 2021, Saleh had then-rookie Zach Wilson at quarterback. The Jets ran it back with Wilson in 2022, with a splash of Joe Flacco and holdover Mike White. New York had seen enough and decided to take a massive swing at quarterback, landing Aaron Rodgers in a trade with the Green Bay Packers. However, his season ended just a few plays into his New York debut, putting the team back at square one. With Rodgers now fully healthy, the Jets are expecting to compete. They have their quarterback in place and have been patiently waiting to have their full team on the field. Perhaps that’s why Saleh’s odds to be fired are so high. The Jets can’t afford to waste Rodgers’ Super Bowl window, not after losing a season to injury. If Saleh can’t lead the team to those heights, New York will find a head coach who can. It’s a hard position to be in, but Saleh understands the expectations of Jets ownership now that Rodgers is back. If everything works out how New York is hoping, this is all a moot point and Robert Saleh is leading the Jets dynasty for the foreseeable future. But another year like 2023 would likely send Saleh packing. How Robert Saleh can continue coaching Jets David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports© Provided by ClutchPoints While the offense has been questionable under Saleh, the Jets have developed into one of the best defensive teams in the league. Without it, New York would’ve had an even further collapse after Rodgers’ injury. In 2020, a year before Saleh’s arrival, the team ranked 24th in team defense, allowing 387.6 yards per game. With their new head coach in place, the Jets bottomed out, falling all the way to 32nd by allowing 397.6 YPG. But Saleh was able to put together a quick turnaround, elevating New York to fourth in 2022 (311.1 YPG). In 2024, the Jets ranked third, allowing 292.3 YPG. It was a bit of a process, but once Saleh put the ground work in, that system seemed to work. His defense is Robert Saleh’s calling card. As long as they continue playing at a high level, he will be lauded for his defensive mind. But at some point, there needs to be offensive improvement. Saleh must work with Nathaniel Hackett, Rodgers and the entire offensive staff to make sure New York comes out strong now that they’re back to full health. Saleh is certainly an emotional leader and has guided the Jets through difficult times. But eventually, results need to be on the board. With Aaron Rodgers and no more excuses, Saleh must deliver.

Rangers9 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Well the Bears have made big changes esp at the QB position so doubtful they would fire their HC so fast. I'd vote for Saints if Jets aren't competitive he'll be gone too but with AR etc they should be ok you'd think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mogglez Posted July 17 Popular Post Share Posted July 17 I’m confused, is this implying a mid-season firing because, if so, that’s pissing money into the wind. I’m not making any projections on his future AFTER the year because I’m not sold on Saleh, but Woody doesn’t do mid-season firings. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 isn't this technically saleh's last season? i think there's some serious pressure for the jets to have about 8 wins with 5 to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The Jets could have a great season this year, but my gut is that they perform under expectations, not at or over. The coach will likely be a big part of that. Time management, Hackett and other glitches will cause some losses that they can't afford to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Of all the HC’s, Saleh is one without an extension and easily the best roster. He is the best candidate to fail. He also shouldn’t come close to failing. Saleh could be the first HC to be fired list and the first HC to get extended at the same time. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Saleh is putrid. He will not get fired during the season. Woody will hire another hot DC prospect after our 7 and 10 collapse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Fire him mid-season to replace him with one of the failed head coaches that occupy the coordinator roles? Makes more sense to let Saleh flame out and leave the team in a good draft position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should though i mean most seasons we are out of it by then so maybe it makes no sense but this is totally a win now team and teams can get a good bump with mid season coaching changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 The Jets never do mid-season firings and that's not suddenly about to change. If once the year is done this team has failed yet again, then Crisco Joe needs to be the very first person fired, with Saleh undoubtedly right after him.

A waste of money. Definitely should be the favourite to be fired by the Superbowl due to the pretty public playoff mandate and the sheer amount of variables that could go off course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Whoever wrote the article did not do his homework on Woody. Woody never fires his HC mid season and never will, absent his committing some egregious crime. Stoopid article anyway. Why waste time predicting who will be fired and when? And if you do, please do your research on the owners before you make asinine claims. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same guy who gave his last GM another draft to fail miserable at just weeks before firing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
