Robert Saleh Opts To Resign As Things Gets…
With New York eliminated from playoff contention in the wake of its worst loss of the season, a 30-0 defeat to the Miami Dolphins, questions about Robert Saleh’s future are bound to arise.
“No,” Saleh told reporters Monday when asked if his job security enters his mind.
“Two types of coaches. Those who have been fired and those who are about to get fired. We coach in the moment. We coach to win a football game.”
At this moment, the Jets stand at 5-9, with a 30th-ranked scoring offense that is dragging down one of the league’s superior defenses, which has now dropped to 11th in points allowed through 15 weeks of the season.
Asked if he was coaching for his job the next three weeks, Saleh said he’s just “coaching to try and beat Washington” on Christmas Eve.
The questions are fair to pose to Saleh. He’s amassed a 16-32 record through three seasons in charge, and if things finish how they stand now, the similarly struggling Patriots are the only thing keeping the Jets from finishing last in the AFC East at:

The questions are fair to pose to Saleh. He’s amassed a 16-32 record through three seasons in charge, and if things finish how they stand now, the similarly struggling Patriots are the only thing keeping the Jets from finishing last in the AFC East at the end of each of his campaigns.
The obvious caveat is the torn Achilles suffered by Aaron Rodgers four plays into the season that was supposed to return Gang Green to the elusive mountaintop.
Sunday’s drubbing had an extra sting to it with Rodgers working hard for a miraculous return and his window for activation closing on Wednesday.
