Jets firing Robert Saleh will do nothing to fix their offense, Ex-NFL player says

Former NFL player Solomon Wilcots appears on OutKick "The Ricky Cobb Show" to talk about the New York Jets' decision to fire Robert Saleh.

The New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday after just five games, leading them to a 2-3 record. 

The Jets had lost their last two games, including losing to the Minnesota Vikings in London 23-17.

Former six-year NFL veteran Solomon Wilcots criticized the Jets for firing Saleh during a recent appearance on OutKick’s "The Ricky Cobb Show."

"Look, I know there is going to be a great temptation for people to lay this at the feet of Aaron Rodgers. I’m not absolving Aaron from where this thing is, because his fingerprints are in it. He’s not the one who decided to fire Robert Saleh, neither is Joe Douglas by all reports. This is all on the owner, Woody Johnson.

Wilcots thinks Johnson firing Saleh was more for appearances, than it was for football reasons. 

"He was over in London, right, you know, having a good time over there with his good friends and now when his team goes back over to London, and they lose to the Minnesota Vikings, ‘Oh I got to do something about this, I’m the guy who can fix it’ by all accounts its arbitrary that he decided to make this move because ‘I gotta fix it, I don’t want to waste the years of Aaron
