Robert Saleh said he was surprised to find out he was fired as the Jets’ head coach on Tuesday. A report shows that he was thinking about firing offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett after the team’s loss to the Vikings in Week Five. Todd Downing, the passing game coordinator, was likely going to take Hackett’s place.
However, firing Hackett might have caused tension with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, since Rodgers and Hackett have a close history from their time together in Green Bay. Jets owner Woody Johnson said he didn’t talk to Rodgers about firing Saleh, but he might have considered Rodgers’s opinion if there were problems within the coaching staff.
Now, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is the interim head coach, and Hackett is still leading the offense, which has scored the same amount of points as last season when Rodgers wasn’t playing.
WATCH: Travis Kelce Pushes Head Coach in Sideline Outburst
Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce erupted in frustration towards head coach Andy Reid during a viral sideline outburst in Super Bowl LVIII.
The incident followed a crucial fumble by Chiefs’ starting running back Isaih Pacheco on the team’s opening drive. Kelce, who was not involved in the play, expressed his discontent by confronting Reid, pushing him in the chest.
Video footage showed Kelce being restrained by Chiefs’ pass-catching back Jerick McKinnon after the physical altercation with Reid.
Speculation arose that Kelce’s frustration stemmed from not being included in the play leading to the fumble. He appeared to mouth the words “keep me in” while attempting to communicate with Reid.
The incident sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many criticizing Kelce’s actions.
“Travis Kelce’s behavior towards his coach is unacceptable,” remarked conservative commentator Jack Posobiec.
“Travis Kelce’s behavior is disappointing,” commented a Lakers fan account LakeShowYo.
Some social media users also made light of Kelce’s relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, joking about her potential reaction to the incident.
