Jets fire 49ers former defensive coordinator because it’s his fault New York’s offense stinks

According to various reports, the New York Jets informed former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh that he was relieved of his head coaching duties Tuesday morning.

Saleh went 20-36 in three seasons as a head coach, including a 2-3 record in 2024. Now that Aaron Rodgers is healthy, this was supposed to be the year New York turned it around.

Saleh has had a rough go at it regarding the quarterback position. The Jets had six different quarterbacks start during Saleh’s brief tenure. Rodgers did not make it past the first series in 2023.
