Jets fire coach Robert Saleh

After their disappointing loss to the Vikings on Sunday in London, the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will be the inteirm head coach, a source said. The Jets will host the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 6 for first place in the AFC East.

Saleh had one year remaining on his contract that he signed in 2021.

“This morning, I informed Robert Saleh that he will no longer serve as the head coach of the Jets,” Jets owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. I thanked him for his hard work these past 3 1/2 years and wished him and his family well moving forward. This is not an easy decision, but we are not where we should be given our expectations, and I believe now is the best time for us to move in a different direction.”

Saleh registered a 20-36 record in four seasons with the Jets. This is the first time since becoming the owner in 2000 that Johnson has fired a coach during the middle of the season.
