new york jet fans prove that ROBERT SALEH is the best coach due to…..
The cries from frustrated New York Jets fans are getting louder.
They’re all over social media and sports talk radio, letting everyone who’ll listen know — including owner Woody Johnson — they’re tired of all the losing. Many insist changes need to be made, and now.
A season that began with Super Bowl hopes and Aaron Rodgers leading the way has deteriorated to the point the seats under coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas are getting uncomfortably warm.
“Two types of coaches,” Saleh said Monday. “Those who have been fired and those who are about to get fired, my man. We coach in the moment. We coach to win a football game.”
The problem is the victories have been too few and far between.
Saleh is 16-32 as the team’s coach since being hired in 2021. Douglas is 25-55 since taking over for the fired Mike Maccagnan in 2019.
The latest loss, a 30-0 drubbing at Miami on Sunday, stoked the flames even more — with some wondering if Saleh is in danger of losing the locker room.
“I think this team is still bought in,” the coach insisted. “I think this team still plays for one another. I think this team still loves one another. And I’ll speak for everyone in that we are frustrated that we haven’t been able to string together some wins. But I do appreciate the way we go out and fight. We’ve just got to find a way to be successful.”
Defensive lineman Solomon Thomas said Saleh has the players’ support. But he agreed the players are frustrated, especially given the expectations the team had just a few months ago.
“It obviously hurts,” Thomas said. “That’s your goal and dream every season and the fact that you can’t make that happen, you’re never to be satisfied with that. You’re never going to be OK with that. And if that does not bother you, then you shouldn’t be in the building.”
