New York Jets owner Woody Johnson head coach Robert Saleh fired earlier this month in an apparent attempt to give some type spark.

The Jets subsequently lost three straight games, and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich became their interim head coach. With Quarterbacks Coach/Passing Game Coordinator Todd Downing, serving as the team’s punter attacking player.

In an article published Thursday, former NFL executive Vinny Cerrato spoke with an ESPN Jets reporter. Rich Cimini and suggested that Johnson must have realized that moving on from Saleh during the season would never fix what ailed the Jets in the first five weeks of the campaign.

“Once you fire a coach, forget about it,” Serrato explained. “This won’t work. Everything must go right. or they are going shut it down because they know change is coming. As far as the Jets are concerned, they know everything. Everyone’s going get fired there.”

One of the franchise’s greatest players, Hall of Fame center Kevin Maue, told ESPN what it was like ‘A This is a dizzying step for many people on the outside.”

Retired and current defense attorney CBS Sports NFL Analyst Matt Ryan raised eyebrows when he said last weekend that there was “no more activity within the New York Jets organization this season” after the club the score went 0-2 after acquiring star wide receiver Davante Adams.

I wonder if the Jets can become sellers before next Tuesday’s trade deadline if they lose 6-2 to the Houston Texans on Thursday night.
