**Belichick Criticizes Jets for Firing Robert Saleh**

Bill Belichick has not held back on his critique of the New York Jets' recent coaching change, labeling it a hasty decision by team owner Woody Johnson. The iconic head coach voiced his strong opinions during a guest appearance on the "Manningcast" with Peyton and Eli Manning.

In his remarks, Belichick expressed disappointment over the firing of Robert Saleh, stating, "Coach Saleh did a good job with that program." He recognized that while the Jets' offense has had a sluggish beginning to the 2024-25 season, the team isn’t far from turning things around.

Peyton Manning echoed Belichick’s sentiments, deeming it "quite early" to dismiss Saleh in favor of interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. Belichick elaborated that such impulsive decision-making is typical for the Jets, adding, "That's kinda what it's been there with the Jets. They've barely won over 30% in the last 10 years. The owner being the owner... just ready, fire, aim."

Belichick, who has a unique history with the Jets—having been their head coach on two different occasions but never actually coaching a game—jokingly referred to his tenure as "unblemished" since he never logged a loss with the team. “I was tight on space,” he added, humorously downplaying his brief stints with the organization.

The Patriots' legend's comments highlight ongoing frustrations and questions about the Jets' management decisions as they navigate another turbulent season.
