Jets Fire Saleh, Turn to Ulbrich for Interim Role
The New York Jets have parted ways with head coach Robert Saleh, ending his tenure after just two seasons. The move, announced on Monday, comes after a disappointing 2022 campaign that saw the Jets finish with a 7-10 record.
Saleh’s departure marks a significant shift in direction for the franchise. While the Jets showed signs of progress under Saleh, the team ultimately fell short of expectations, leading to a disappointing end to the season.
A New Interim Leader
In the meantime, the Jets have appointed defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as interim head coach. Ulbrich, who joined the Jets in 2021, will lead the team for the remainder of the 2022 season.
While Ulbrich has been a valuable asset to the Jets' defense, his appointment as interim head coach is seen as a temporary solution. The team is expected to conduct a thorough search for a permanent head coach in the offseason.
Looking Ahead
The Jets are now looking to rebuild and find the right coach to lead them into the future. With a young roster featuring talented players like Zach Wilson and Garrett Wilson, the team has the potential to be competitive in the years to come.
The search for a new head coach will be a crucial step in the Jets' rebuilding process. The team will need to find a leader who can build upon the foundation laid by Saleh and guide the franchise to sustained success.
The future for the Jets is uncertain. With Ulbrich stepping into the interim role, the team is looking to finish the season on a positive note. But the real test will come in the offseason when the Jets embark on the crucial task of finding a new head coach who can finally lead them to the playoffs.
