Jets coach Robert Saleh spoke candidly Tuesday about his shortcomings in handling the “chaos” (his word for it), owning many of the mistakes made.
Outwardly, Robert Saleh exudes remarkable calm for an NFL head coach who’s in the throes of his absolutely, positively, no “what-ifs?’’ last chance.
Saleh’s 2024 Jets carry with them expectations that haven’t been this lofty in a long time. Herein lies Saleh’s latest in a long list of challenges: how he handles the high expectations, not to mention the pressure of knowing he’ll be fired if this team doesn’t make it to the playoffs. “Last year — I’ll speak freely — probably got a little out of whack,” Saleh said. “ using this year and just reconnecting to myself and the things that need to get done from a global standpoint — offensively, defensively, special teams. The administrative stuff, that’s easy. Getting back to the X’s and O’s and making sure that all of our focus, including me, is locked in on that.”
The Jets, of course, have had three bad years under Saleh’s watch and a fourth won’t be tolerated by owner Woody Johnson.“You get so used to being in an environment where expectations are what they are,” Saleh said. “That’s why it’s just so, so important stay focused in the moment, be where your feet are and be a problem solver. Last year was a great reminder in that.”
