SALEH FIRED


nj meadowlands

Recommended Posts

So, the day-after analysis is:

1. Rodgers—whose actively tried to get every coach he’s ever had fired—finally found an owner weak enough to listen to him. Saleh had been poking Rodgers all year, and particularly this week (cadence thing, saying Rodgers had been “up and down”), and Rodgers pulled his support. 
 

2. Woody is boxed in because Saleh had consciously avoided hiring anyone capable of succeeding him. Ulbrich became the only guy credible enough to become the interim because Saleh’s defense is the only thing that works on the team. 
 

3. Saleh, by getting fired now, comes out smelling like a rose. The defense has been good; Jets management, vis a vis Woody, looks wholly dysfunctional; Douglas is emasculated because he let his coach get whacked and he’d already been walking the tightrope. If the season goes South, nobody will remember that Saleh sucked, and he got out right before the coming (probable) implosion. 
 

4. All the pressure in the world falls on Ulbrich, who’s had designs to become a head coach and who also tried to leave to become the Niners DC. Now he inherits a banged up and empowered Rodgers, a disillusioned set of young players who are all underachieving and are showing signs of checking out. Can Ulbrich pull it back together, or does Rodgers make that impossible?

Yea Rodgers arbitrarily gets off on firing his head coach. Saleh was a career politician who couldn’t handle losing power within the organization so he was checked out. A coach with a worse record than Adam gase who hasn’t accomplished anything has no respect from players. The same dude that was caught texting with beningno and ran an in house which hunt over leaked reports. The same dude who was supposed to be a leader during the Moore, mims, Becton, white drama. 

If you listen to Johnson’s press conference the entire thing was about the players would be motivated and respect Ulbrich in part because he actually played the game. Saleh was an exposed used car salesman that sucked the life out of the room and only cared about his own self preservation. The massive media spin his is pushing since being fired is further proof of this.

Saleh was a golf course rater for Golf Digest. He used football for himself. Too many outside distractions and interests- it was easy to check out and not care. I don’t know how people can’t see that.

I never knew what Saleh actually did, beyond wandering the halls, looking for someone to high-five and chest-push.

100 years from now, people will swear they seen the ghost of Robert Saleh wondering the halls of Jets 1 Drive moaning something that sounds like allllllll gassss......nooooo braaaaake

He was obviously talking about the offense.

Jets: Fire Robert Saleh and not anyone on the offensive staff.

HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You could not make it up if you tried.

I know.  And this is being celebrated

Don’t know how saleh comes out of this good, fired 5 games into the season after 3 prime time losses.  

Woody was rumored to dislike saleh for a while and i think he finally had it, good for him.  I think he’s getting rid of people in the order in which he hates them.  And i think the OC is next. 

Ulbrich may not know offense but he knows what they’re doing isn’t working.  I would imagine at a minimum hackett’s play calling duties will be scaled back.

rodgers has to know that at a certain point, regardless of his stature, if he keeps throwing multiple ints this will be his last season.

I think Zach broke him. Really.

The expectations for Wilson’s commitment were never communicated well. Whether that was Woody or the coaches, who knows. Saleh seemed to have a lot of free time too. The way they both treated the byes like vacations it’s tough to feel bad for either.

Rodgers gets off on having power and influence, if you can't see that you're either blind or willfully ignorant.

Saleh 100% deserved to be fired.  I'd have fired him the right way, before this season started.

So does Hackett, more so than Saleh.

The fact one fell and the other didn't says quite a lot.

We'll all have to hope so, especially on Offense, where this team has been mid tier at best.

Some of Salehs greatest hits:

 

Tyron Smith’s health issues were well-documented and they’re why he was on the street in the first place. The reason is here at all is because Douglas drafted Becton over Wirfs

Was just using Smith as an example with Salehs approach. Salehs first year, he barely had Wilson play in the preseason and sat him against Philly entirely because it was raining. This was Zach’s rookie year- what are we doing?

Salehs whole deal never made any sense- like he was trying to reinvent football into some casual walk in the park where nothing really mattered. The things that would come out of his mouth were some of the most mind boggling things you’d ever hear a coach say. Like he was coaching little kids. Rogers has his own issues and obviously is a total egomaniac but Saleh was not an NFL head coach.

It's an NFL sponsored heritage month thing that they literally did last year. How could anyone possibly think that's what is going on here?

I’m speaking philosophically — that stating someone has an agenda is a truism, not a counter argument. The Lebanese flag theory is dumb

Point 2 I also see in corporate life. I call it “surrounding yourself with a sandbag wall of idiots.”

So 14-3 is what you're saying?

Ulbrich needs to implement some immediate needed changes: being in Tyrod in the red zone, fire the buffoon of an OL coach, tell Rodgers to cut the cadence crap - oh nevermind scratch that, tell Hackett to open up the damn offense. Do something.
