Jets should fire Robert Saleh and Nathaniel Hackett: Mike Francesa

It took less than an hour after the Jets' loss to the Vikings for the calls for heads to begin.

Former WFAN host Mike Francesa said on his podcast in response to the 23-17 loss that coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett should be on the chopping block.

“Everything leads to the same goal. “You are putting the crime in the hands of a man (Hackett) who is completely incompetent,” Francesa said. “I know that despite his abysmal record and the fact that he has cornered this team, you can just see it. And I'm telling you, if I were the owner, Saleh wouldn't be the coach anymore. In season. I can't watch it anymore. I just can't watch the same garbage week after week.

“I wouldn’t touch the defensive coordinator (Jeff Ulbrich), I wouldn’t touch his staff, but I would get rid of Saleh because he’s not a head coach anyway. If he wants to be defensive coordinator, he can stay. He can't be the head coach, he can't lead the team.

“Because there has to be a new order for this team, there has to be a responsibility for this team, and I would fire the offensive coordinator immediately.” Immediately.

“Goodbye! Enough already. I don't care what Rodgers would say. Oh really? You like throwing three interceptions? You like getting hit on every play-action fake? You like the fact that “Your career won't look the same if you keep this guy? You're out. I make the decision, you don't.”

After Sunday's loss, Saleh has a 20-36 record in more than three seasons as the Jets' head coach.

“I would listen to Rodgers about who he wants and if we could agree on a guy who is available I would get him. If not, I would get Frank Reich tomorrow and put him in charge of the crime,” Francesa said.
