Robert Saleh is entering his fourth season as Jets head coach and is still looking for his first winning season. The Jets have finished 7-10 each of the last two seasons following a 4-13 year in Saleh’s rookie campaign. Everyone in the building is hoping the 2024 season will be a much better one with the returning Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. If not, major changes will occur, in all likelihood.
Needless to say, Saleh isn’t quite regarded as one of the top coaches in the NFL. But where does he rank overall? Jarrett Bailey gave his thoughts as he ranked all 32 head coaches for Touchdown Wire. So where did Saleh land in Bailey’s list?
Saleh is all the way down at No. 28. Here’s what Bailey said about him:
Robert Saleh has accomplished nothing since taking over as Jets head coach. And while last season felt like a cruel joke from the Football Gods, this is still very much a do or die year for Saleh. He is 18-33 in three seasons at the helm. If the Jets fail to make the postseason in 2024, there is no reason why he should return as head coach.
The only coaches ranked lower than Saleh on this list were:
29. Brian Daboll, Giants
30. Jerod Mayo, Patriots
31. Matt Eberflus, Bears
32. Dennis Allen, Saints
With the level of hype around the Jets high, there is a lot of pressure on Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. It’s all or nothing in 2024.
