The New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday following a 2-3 start to his fourth season.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will be the interim head coach for the remainder of the season, according to team owner Woody Johnson.
¡°This is probably the best team I¡¯ve had in 25 years,¡± Johnson said on a conference call with reporters. ¡°I just felt that the best way to go forward with a new direction. Taking Jeff Ulbrich and making him the interim head coach, I thought that would get the most out of this team and give us the best chance that we all want to have, which is going to the playoffs.¡±
