Bill Belichick discussed Jets’ head coaching situation, praised passion of fans

Given his personal history, Bill Belichick is a qualified analyst to weigh in on the Jets’ recent coaching change.

New York announced earlier this week that head coach Robert Saleh had been fired, a surprising move given the timing even amid a subpar 2-3 start.

Belichick, now in a commentator role for various media platforms in his first season after departing the Patriots, has experience leaving the Jets in surprising circumstances. In 2000, he resigned as “HC of the NYJ” just 24 hours after he was named to be Bill Parcells’ successor in New York.
