Robert Saleh had a bad record with the Jets, but this mess wasn't all his fault

The NFL is a results business. You are what your record says you are. And so forth.

But Robert Saleh was the first coach fired this season because he couldn't catch a break.

Saleh never got his quarterback and that wasn't all his fault. Saleh ultimately didn't get the job done, as his 20-36 record will tell you. But Zach Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and others didn't exactly help.

The Jets shocked the NFL world by firing Saleh on Tuesday after a 2-3 start. It wasn't totally out of the blue, because the Jets came into this season with an enormous amount of pressure to win and haven't looked good most of the season.
