Yes, even after firing Robert Saleh, the New York Jets still have to put up with Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator. But that doesn’t mean the offense must remain completely untouched.
Saleh was the Jets’ head coach. And not in a Rex Ryan sort of way. While Saleh is a former defensive coordinator, he wasn’t calling defensive plays for the Jets, nor did his efforts lean toward that side of the ball as Rex’s did. Saleh was brought in to be a CEO-type coach who had his fingerprints on all facets of the team.
