It’s time for Robert Saleh’s ‘all gas, no breaks’ mantra to manifest — or else!

He didn’t have to be Ray Handley following Bill Parcells, or Ben McAdoo following Tom Coughlin. Robert Saleh was following Adam Gase.
“Get used to the mantra ‘All gas, no brake,’ ” Saleh said at his introductory Jets press conference over Zoom during the pandemic. “We’re not talking about effort on the field, we’re talking about the process at which we do things. We’re talking about the way we prepare, the way we wake up every single morning, the way we rehab, the way we communicate, the way we speak to one another.
“When we wake up in the morning, we will all, from top down, step on the pedal and find a way to get somewhat better than we were when we woke up. To our fans, we embrace your passion, we embrace your expectations, we cannot wait to go on this journey with you. … Please understand we understand that we have a lot of work to do.
“But make no mistake — no mistake — that our goal is to win championships. … It’s gonna be an exciting time, and I promise that you’re gonna love what you all see.”
Three years later, Saleh will be taking an 18-33 record into the 2024 season. He will be taking a 13-year franchise playoff drought into the season. He will be taking a 55-year Super Bowl drought into the season.
Three years of “All aghast, no break.”
