The New York Jets made a surprising move to fire head coach Robert Saleh five games into the 2024 season with a 2-3 record, and fans are hoping the team turns to a former longtime rival as his replacement.
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who is spending the 2024 season working as a broadcaster and analyst, has been pegged as a dream hire for Jets fans who have been starving for the franchise to achieve success.
The Jets named defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as their interim head coach, but an experienced leader like Belichick would be a game-changer for a team that has missed the playoffs in 13 straight years, the longest active streak in North American sports.
