The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start to the season. Saleh, who had a 20-36 record during his tenure, was dismissed by team owner Woody Johnson. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been named the interim head coach. Saleh was escorted out of the building by team security, a rare move not seen in the NFL for over two decades. This marks the first time in 25 years that the Jets have fired a coach mid-season. The decision comes amid reported tensions with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a lack of progress under Saleh's leadership.
