Michelle Tafoya said the Jets firing head coach Robert Saleh could be a 'way to shift blame' from Aaron Rodgers during her appearance on OutKick's 'Don't @ Me With Dan Dakich.'
After just five games into the NFL season, the New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday. The Jets lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 23-17, in London on Sunday, dropping them to 2-3 and prompting the head coaching change. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been promoted to interim head coach. Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya gave her instant reaction after the news broke while she was appearing on OutKick’s 'Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich.
Dakich asked Tafoya if she thought Rodgers had any input on the decision to fire Saleh. 'I know there are a number of quarterbacks who are very influential in what goes on in the front office. I would say maybe Aaron might be one of those guys. But I was under the impression that they got along, that Aaron is very close to the offensive coordinator in New York and I – this is a strange one to me,' Tafoya said. 'But the Jets are looking to shake things up.
The Jets have lost their last two games, scoring a combined 26 points in two games. The Jets' offense has scored as many points through five games this season with Rodgers as they did with Zach Wilson through their first five games last season with 93 points. New York's defense this season is second in yards allowed and fifth in points allowed. The Jets managed to win seven games last season because of their elite defense carrying a bad offense led by Wilson.
