Former Jets quarterback revisits awkward hug between Robert Saleh, Aaron Rodgers following coach's firing

Emmanuel Acho reacts to the New York Jets firing HC Robert Saleh after a 20-36 record and 2-3 start this season.

Former New York Jets quarterback and current NFL analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick shared a cryptic post on social media after his former team announced the firing of head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday following back-to-back losses. 

Jets’ owner Woody Johnson announced the decision on Tuesday, which followed New York’s disappointing loss to the team's one-time quarterback, Sam Darnold, and the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Jets’ lifeless offense fared better than it did in the previous week’s loss to the Denver Broncos.

"This morning, I informed Robert Saleh that he will no longer serve as the Head Coach of the Jets. I thanked him for his hard work these past three-and-a-half years and wished him and his family well moving forward," Johnson’s statement read.

"This was not an easy decision, but we are not where we should be given our expectations, and I believe now is the best time for us to move in a different direction." 

Following the news, Fitzpatrick, who last played for the Jets in 2016, posted a video of the controversial moment that Aaron Rodgers appeared to reject Saleh’s embrace during their Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. 

The incident caused a stir on social media, with many suggesting a fractured relationship between the two, but Rodgers and Saleh quickly set the record straight.
