Woody Johnson discussed whether Aaron Rodgers was involved in the team's decision to move on from Robert Saleh.
The decision came from Jets owner Woody Johnson, who was less than thrilled with the team's 2–3 record through the first five weeks of the season.of ESPN, Johnson said that he and Rodgers spoke as recently as Monday night, but claimed the topic of Saleh's departure was not discussed, and that Rodgers did not have any input into the decision.
Saleh had been at the helm for New York since 2021 and had recorded a .357 winning percentage through his first three-and-a-half seasons. Despite an abundance of talent on the roster in 2024, the team has struggled on offense early in the season and has failed to score more than 24 points in any game.
Rodgers' return from last year's Achilles injury had been expected to provide the missing piece for the Jets to compete for a Super Bowl, but the team looked far from a contender in recent weeks, prompting Johnson to make the change. Despite New York's offense ranking near the bottom of the league in various key statistical categories, offensive coordinator and Rodgers's former quarterbacks coach with the Green Bay Packers, Nathaniel Hackett, was not let go.behind the Jets' coaching change, Johnson attempted to shift the narrative and make clear that the decision to fire Saleh was entirely his doing.Karl Rasmussen is a staff writer for the Breaking and Trending News team for Sports Illustrated.
