New bombshell revelations have emerged regarding the firing of former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, with former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett providing a stunning account of the events leading up to Saleh's dismissal.
The shocking firing of New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has taken an unexpected turn, with new information from former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett casting doubt on the legitimacy of the team's explanation for the move.
Hackett, in a bombshell revelation, claims that Saleh made a crucial decision on Tuesday morning: to remove play-calling duties from Hackett himself. This decision, which came just minutes before Saleh was summoned to owner Woody Johnson's office and informed of his firing, raises questions about the true nature of Johnson's claims that the decision to terminate Saleh was solely his.

Sources within the Jets organization have since corroborated Hackett's account, further casting doubt on the integrity of Johnson's explanation. The timeline of events, as Hackett describes it, paints a picture of a hasty and potentially retaliatory action by Johnson.
Adding to the intrigue is the reported rift between Saleh and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was brought to the Jets in a trade with the hope of improving the team's fortunes. The relationship between the two took a sour turn following an awkward hug between them after a Week 3 victory over the New England Patriots.

Rodgers, who is known for being particular about his play-calling, reportedly favored Hackett's offensive scheme. The decision to remove Hackett from play-calling duties may have been seen as an attempt by Saleh to assert his authority over the team's offense, potentially alienating Rodgers.
The Jets' dismal offensive performance under Hackett, with the team ranked near the bottom of the league in points scored and yards gained, may have been a contributing factor to Saleh's decision. However, the team's top-ranked defense under Saleh suggests that the problems may have extended beyond play-calling.

As the investigation into Saleh's firing continues, it remains to be seen whether the Jets will provide a more transparent explanation for the move and address the concerns raised by Hackett's bombshell revelations.
