Flashy offseason doesn’t matter if wins don’t follow for Jets: Robert Saleh
NY Post
ORLANDO, Fla. – Robert Saleh is entering his fourth year as the Jets head coach. While he is happy with the moves the Jets have made this offseason, he knows nothing about the winter or spring matters if the Jets don’t win this fall.
“The reality is winning offseasons doesn’t matter,” Saleh said Monday at the NFL’s owners’ meetings.
“We’ve got to win football games. No matter how much excitement there is around the organization. No matter how much excitement there is around free agency or the draft, none of it matters. Just got to keep our heads down and find ways to get better and continue to have a great offseason. When we get to the season, we’ve got to find a way to put Ws in the win column.”
That is something the Jets have struggled to do in Saleh’s three years as coach with the team 18-33 during that time. Overall, the team has not had a winning season since 2015.
Jets owner Woody Johnson recently expressed his displeasure with the 2023 season, demanding better in 2024.
Saleh knows that fans are unhappy with him and general manager Joe Douglas after back-to-back 7-10 seasons.
