But still all joking aside, I thought he got fired for wanting to demote Hackett??
That seems more like the "Security had to escort him out" stuff. Clickbaity BS from talking heads.
Saleh got fired for being a terrible head coach. The team was underprepared, out-game-planned, undisciplined, and vocally turning on him. I'm not just talking about Rodgers here. His postgame pressers were so excuse-laden that Quincy Williams must have said "Accountability" five times in an interview last week.
He's had the job for 3+ years, during which time the Jets had the third-worst record in football. They were something like 2-7 on long rest, which is just appalling.
Firing Saleh and removing Hackett's playcalling obviously won't solve everything (in fact, I think Keith Carter might somehow be worse than those two with how much O-Line players have regressed under his guidance). But those are proper steps to take since they didn't rip the band-aid off during the offseason.
