Let’s take a moment to go through the New York Jets‘ 2021 journey. Ownership, alongside Joe Douglas, hired first-time head coach Robert Saleh in January of 2021 following a dreadful two-win 2020 season. Coach Saleh inherited a roster that Douglas and his staff have been working endlessly to turn over.
As the 2021 offseason came to a close, the organization and the fans were undoubtedly excited, with good reason, to see what this new coaching staff would bring to the table. It was clear that a young coaching staff would be working with one of the youngest rosters in the NFL—headlined by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.
