2024 Black Friday Coach Firings Tracker

[Brian in Mesa]

Not with this owner first time in his 25 years of ownership according to ESPN

That wasn’t specified.

Why are people defending Saleh???
He’s pretty much been crap as a HC from the get go.

I think it’s a good move by the Jets. He’s not your guy, move on. I wish more teams would be like this. It’s not a knee-jerk reaction. He’s been bad.

Yeah, but they are doing it in the most Jets way imaginable and Rodgers is also in there and not particularly likeable - so there will be a ton of noise

 

[MrYeahBut]

I think that if your wife won't sleep with you... the Jets will. Or something like that is what they say... Know what I mean

[602 Native]

Well, they've never fired a coach in season...so I guess they figured that's how other teams do it?????? That's all I got.

My point was why get security involved?

Dude is about to get millions and a nice vacation why the humiliation of walking him out like he’s gonna tear up the place on his way out?

Maybe they needed to? People don't take to kindly to being fired all the time. Maybe he got a little heated and they felt security was necessary. It happens more often than you think.

Weird, because it had already been posted that it happened in the 70’s in this very thread. Dork.

I was escorted out one time. Gave my two weeks notice and my boss said the Big Kahoona wanted me escorted out. I was going to a competitor so I guess they thought I would steal secret documents or something. I found it humorous. Got paid for the two weeks and started my new job the next day (for over twice my previous salary to boot).

Edit: Could be worse, at least he didn’t come to work and find he was locked out like some owner we know did one time.

Long winded way of saying it happens. Especially when the Big Kahoona is a douche. LOL

 

[oaken1]

I been escorted out a few times. Mostly because my boss was a bitch. I always hated working for wussies.
Regardless of an escort I always shook the man's hand and thanked him for the opportunity. My character has never been determined by another man's weakness

Yep. My direct supervisor apologized all the way out. I told him it was all good and, like you, shook hands and went on my way.

 

[K1Day1]

I don’t much care for AAron. Have to wonder how that went down.
Their message board must be a mess right now.

Agree completely 100%. Great post.

There is something fishy about the whole thing. It would not surprise me one bit if something non-football related was in the mix.

Don't make me report both of you to yourselves!

Yeah. Pretty standard in some companies. I was escorted out as well once. Pretty undramatic, despite me having no clue why they felt that was necessary. Just weird as it was not standard! I was going to quit anyway, so I just walked away with 5 month salary, because they couldn't justify it besides the CFO hating my guts.

Aaron Rodgers on the
@PatMcAfeeShow show about whether he had any role in the firing of his former head coach Robert Saleh. “I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false.”

He's already a known liar, so I wouldn't believe this statement at all.

There is something fishy about the whole thing. It would not surprise me one bit if something non-football related was in the mix.

So Carton had a great piece on this and he talked to several people in the organization to put it all together. Apparently this all stems from Saleh getting with some coaches on the plane back from London and deciding to change play calling for the Buffalo game. Salah can't fire Hackett, but he thought maybe just trying another person calling plays for one game would let them see if something could be done to fire up the offense.

So, Salah couldn't even do this without asking Joe Douglas, since Nate is Double A Ron's guy. Joe talks to Woody on Monday and Woody talks to Double A Ron (Carton has confirmed even, except if Woody called Double A Ron or vice versa). During their conversation Double A Ron tells Woody he wouldn't be happy with the play caller change. Woody then calls Salah 5 minutes later and fires him.

When we all sit around and ponder if things could be worse with a different owner than Mike B, the answer is yes.

Here's an interesting caveat...Reports this morning are that Nate Hackett doesn't have a lot of support on the roster or with other coaches and that Ulbrich also wants to demote him. What a dumpster fire.

 

[Dback Jon]

So A A Ron is lying.


Shocking

 

[phillycard]

Just heard a reporter spoke to Robert Saleh after his firing and he said Robert was blindsided by the owner walking into his office this morning and firing him. Also reported that apparently the GM didn't even know it was going to happen.

J E T S...Jets Jets Jets!!!!!

Sheeez, walking into his office and firing him. No chill there.

My wife said she read where it was intimated that it may be politically motivated by a patch he wore during the London game.

Though numbers will always be relatively small, New York reportedly has the largest Palestinian community in the US....so I doubt it was politically motivated.
