Robert Saleh was reportedly escorted out of the New York Jets' team facility after he was fired as head coach on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. 

The most recent head coach to be fired by the Jets, Adam Gase, was fired after the conclusion of his second season and was reportedly not removed by security. 

The Jets have not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.

The team's owner, Woody Johnson, released a statement shortly after the firing was announced, in which he said defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will serve as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. 

"This morning, I informed Robert Saleh that he will no longer serve as the Head Coach of the Jets. I thanked him for his hard work these past three-and-a-half years and wished him and his family well moving forward," Johnson said. 

"This was not an easy decision, but we are not where we should be given our expectations, and I believe now is the best time for us to move in a different direction. Jeff Ulbrich will serve as our Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the season. He is a tough coach who has the respect of the coaches and players on this team. 

"I believe he along with the coaches on this staff can get the most of our talented team and attain the goals we established this offseason."

Saleh is now planning to go on vacation with his family before preparing to interview for defensive coordinator jobs during the next hiring cycle, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Saleh’s dismissal came more than a day after the Jets lost to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings in London. The offense has sputtered through the first games with a presumably healthy Aaron Rodgers under center for the team.

New York is 25th in points scored and 27th in yards gained while having a top five defense.

Rodgers has performed like a 40-year-old quarterback who is coming off of an Achilles tear. He has 1,093 passing yards, seven touchdown passes and four interceptions.

Saleh was hired to be the Jets head coach in 2021 after four successful seasons as the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator. But Saleh was 20-36 with New York and never won more than seven games a year while at the helm. 

His tenure was plagued by inconsistent quarterback play after the team's third-overall draft pick in 2021, quarterback Zach Wilson, played poorly and was benched multiple times across his first three seasons and Rodgers was injured in the first game of last season.

“Had to be” is an odd way to frame it. Saleh is a respectable guy, must be something more to do with that.

click bait by the msm.

It’s not what happened. Has been debunked. No reporting was done, the “reporter” cites multiple other reports without stating which ones. Just a bad trash article.

delete this garbage mods

"HAD  TOO " bullsh*t. The guy is not that type of personality. He "was" escorted ....which is probably how it went down because thats always how it goes down

[jetsruinedmylifeandhealth]

this is literally how firings work.

Clearly you don't have experience in the world of adults

It’s hard to feel too bad for this hardo. Had someone mention he didn’t want to pay dues at his country club because of who he was.

[JiFtheOracle]

I heard they did it over Zoom.

[Jet_Engine1]

Even players that get cut during camp get "escorted by security" while they gather their belongings and exit. They're making it sound like they had the poor man hog tied and threw him out like in an old western saloon.  

 

[BallinPB]

I assume if he was fired after the season there would be no security escort.  Being that it's in season its understandable to have security walk him to his car in case he is scorned and wants to take something with him that might be detrimental to the team.  

[Biggs]

It's bull.  He was escorted off the 8th green.

Guys - I'm just trying to fan the flames.... I don't actually think they had to physically restrain him and escort him from the building.

[Corn]

Probably bogus but to say that Saleh has some anger management issues would be probably true.

His whole story of running stairs is saying I have troubles controlling emotions.

Remember Rex Ryan an analyst criticizing him and Saleh said he knows where he could find me ! That says he was ready to rumble is what he's saying he's ready to fight if you would like. No he did not say that in a joking manner at that time. He just chilled out and ran some more stairs.

He often looked some what stressed out at the interviews. Struggles to control emotions period

[Rhg1084]

Had to make sure he didn’t steal any staplers or printer paper on the way out 

[Sarge4Tide]

I resigned from a job as the Risk Management Director of a research center many years ago - absolutely routine and everyone knew well in advance. Everyone was cool and happy that I got another job. On my last day, I was escorted out by security. in accordance with a policy I created! 😀

[BigRy56]

They had Dexter come in and knock him out first before they carried him out and dropped him off at home

[Bleedin Green]

They reportedly were going to escort Gase out at the time too, but once he got those crazy eyes locked on them, security very quickly backed off.

Disingenuous gaslighting "media" 

They know what they are doing... and SO DO WE 

[thebuzzardman]

Put your sh*t in a tote box and gtfo.  Very corporate

Exactly.  Rex was also escorted for what it's worth.
