NFL fans think they've worked out who was responsible for getting Robert Saleh the sack at New York Jets

NFL fans all have the same theory after Robert Saleh was sacked by the New York Jets.

The Jets were widely expected to be contenders in the AFC this year with Aaron Rodgers back from injury and an impressive defence.

However, the team has had a miserable start to the NFL season and Saleh was fired after the 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday left them with a 2-3 record.

Owner Woody Johnson announced that Jeff Ulbrich will be the interim head coach until the end of the current season.

But a clip of Saleh and his quarterback Rodgers appearing to have an altercation on the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was posted to X over the weekend and has quickly gone viral in the wake of Saleh's dismissal.

It’s led many fans to speculate that Rodgers had a big say in the decision to fire Saleh and some have joked he’s now about to add head coach to his list of duties.

One said: “Now Aaron Rodgers has to pick a head coach as if he doesn’t already have enough on his plate.”

Another posted: "The Jets’ updated brain trust is as follows:

General Manager: Aaron Rodgers

Head Coach: Aaron Rodgers

Offensive Coordinator: Aaron Rodgers

Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers.”

A third said: “Aaron Rodgers the new head coach because we all know this was his decision.”

Rodgers moved to the Jets from the Green Bay Packers at the start of the 2023 season but spent the year on the sidelines after suffering injury in his first game for the franchise.

Since his arrival, the Jets have also signed his favourite wide receivers from his time in Green Bay, including Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb.

The Jets are now the favourites to trade for star pass catcher Davante Adams, another of Rodgers’ former teammates at the Packers.

And it has prompted one fan to joke: “Man is the football version of LeBron James."

The Jets are next in action at home to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night.

Rodgers appeared to be in pain during the game in London with what was revealed to be a high ankle sprain, but is expected to start against the Bills.

Asked about the injury after the loss to the Vikings, Saleh told reporters: “All the preliminary stuff says he'll be fine.”
