The NFL has fired their first head coach of 2024. And it’s a doozy. The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh, meaning there will be a new head coach on the opposite sideline when the Pittsburgh Steelers face them in Week 7. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and several other media outlets reported the change Tuesday morning.
While the Jets have struggled under Saleh, it’s still a stunning move to occur this early into the season. The Jets are 2-3 through five games having dropped their Week 5 contest to the Minnesota Vikings in London, coming out flat before their rally fell short in a 23-17 loss.
