The New York Jets announced Tuesday they fired head coach Robert Saleh.
“This was 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,” team owner Woody Johnson said in a statement Tuesday morning.
The decision to move on from Saleh – who was under contract through the 2025 season – comes after a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, which dropped New York to 2-3 in 2024.
Saleh went to the Jets’ facility to work as usual Tuesday and was notified by Johnson, according to Albert Breer of TheMMQB. The team executive later explained in a press conference that New York didn’t come close to meeting his 2024 expectations under Saleh.
