Jets fire coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start to the season, AP source says
The New York Jets have fired coach Robert Saleh after the team's 2-3 start in his fourth season, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.Saleh was 20-36 as coach of the Jets, who are trying to snap the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 13 seasons.Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will act as the interim coach, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the Jets hadn't announced Saleh's firing.It is the first time in owner Woody Johnson’s 25-year tenure that a head coach has been fired during the season.The surprising move came a day after Saleh said he was confident Aaron Rodgers and the Jets would be able to turn things around after losing two straight, including falling 23-17 to undefeated Minnesota on Sunday in London. Rodgers had his worst game with New York, throwing three interceptions.
