The New York Jets have reportedly fired head coach Robert Saleh, according to multiple reports.

According to Fox Sports’ Peter Schrager, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will be the interim head coach going forward.

Saleh came with a lot of fanfare when he was hired in 2021 to replace Adam Gase. He was a standout as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers for four seasons, and over time became a prime head coaching candidate. He had a clean slate when he was hired; the franchise had no quarterback but did have the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft.

Saleh, who was hired in 2021, has a 20-36 record. He’s 2-3 this season and hasn’t been able to find success with QB Aaron Rodgers.

This story will be updated.
