Woody Johnson had previously expressed confidence in Saleh heading into the 2024 NFL season.
“He’s going to be a lot better head coach,” Johnson said. “One thing about head coaches is you get better as you get more experience. And he’s going to concentrate on offense. He’s got Jeff [Ulbrich] to do the defense. And we’ve got good special teams. It’s offense, offense, offense.”
Despite the comments, the clock is ticking on Saleh has previous rumors indicated that he could be gone even before the 2024 NFL season began.
Saleh will be entering his fourth season as Jets head coach and he has yet to lead them to the playoffs or finish with a record better than 7-10.
