The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after a disappointing 2-3 start to the season. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will take over as interim head coach. Saleh, who had a record of 20-36 over three-plus seasons, is the first Jets coach to be fired in-season since 1975. The decision, made by Jets owner Woody Johnson, reflects the team's urgency to compete and get back on track. The Jets are set to play for a piece of first place in the AFC East against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
