**Stunning Move: New York Jets Fire Coach Robert Saleh Five Games into Fourth Season**

In an unexpected decision, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has dismissed head coach Robert Saleh just five games into the coach’s fourth season. With the team posting a 2-3 record after Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota in London, Johnson felt immediate action was necessary.

"This is one of the most talented teams that has ever been assembled by the New York Jets," Johnson said in a conference call. "I wanted to give this team the most opportunity to win this season. I feel that we had to go in a different direction and that's why I did that today. This change, the change that we made today - that I made - I believe will bring new energy and positivity that will lead to more wins, starting now."

Saleh ends his tenure with the Jets holding a 20-36 record, struggling to break the franchise’s 13-season playoff drought. This firing marks a notable moment in Johnson's 25-year ownership, being the first time he has dismissed a head coach mid-season.

Taking over the reins on an interim basis, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been tasked with revitalizing the squad and guiding them to a playoff berth. Johnson expressed confidence in Ulbrich's leadership: "He's going to add a spark of positivity," Johnson remarked.

The decision to fire Saleh came swiftly after the team's underwhelming performance in recent weeks. During their latest defeat, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers had an off day, throwing three interceptions, culminating in Saleh's dismissal. With one year remaining on Saleh’s contract, his departure underscores the high expectations and sense of urgency within the Jets organization.

The Jets' leadership is hopeful that this bold move will reset the team’s trajectory and reinvigorate their quest for postseason success.
