After the week 5 loss against the Vikings, everyone had one question. How long will Robert Saleh stay in charge of the affairs? A large portion of Gang Green demanded the coach to be fired. Wish granted! The coach has been removed. Many rumors are floating around the decision. But the most recent one has shaken everyone. It’s wild!
It is being said that Aaron Rodgers got the coach fired. Many fans jumped out of their seats when Emmanuel Acho broke the news of the coach’s firing. But why Rodgers? During the offseason, there was a rumor of a cold war between the coach and the QB.

It first happened when the veteran went on an Egypt trip after skipping the minicamp. While the Jets fined Rodgers, Saleh also made some comments about the QB’s discipline. Though both later denied having any argument, and the line was drawn. All hope was on a good show in the season. Alas, it didn’t happen.
The coach has won 20 and lost 36 games in 4 seasons with the Jets. Saleh failed to take them to playoffs in any one of those seasons. After a 2-3 win-loss record, changes were inevitable. Owner Woody Johnson has a new task in hand. For the time being, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been appointed as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

The question now is, was he the only reason behind losses? Fans have another name.
Gang Green demands Aaron Rodgers’ close aide Nathaniel Hackett be removed
What’s your perspective on:
Did Aaron Rodgers really pull the strings to get Robert Saleh fired, or is it just gossip?
Have an interesting take?
After relieving Robert Saleh of his coaching responsibility, Johnson released his official statement on X (previously Twitter). He specifically mentioned that they had to remove him, as the team was not where they expected themselves to be. But there’s a pushback from the fans. Another rumor!

Gang Green believes that they should also fire the offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. He is considered close to Aaron Rodgers. And fans thronged to X post, expressing their opinion. While one fan wrote, “You fired the wrong guy. Hackett is the true disaster“, another one chimed in and commented, “Why is Hackett still employed? He’s AWFUL.” Will he be fired? It remains a mystery.
Though the Jets‘ offense hasn’t clicked in any game till week 5, the OC relatively looks safe. Can Aaron Rodgers take them back on the winning route?
