Solomon Thomas questions the 2024 firing of Robert Saleh by the Jets
Summary

Ahead of the Week 1 game between the New York Jets and the Tennessee Titans, Solomon Thomas criticized the decision to fire Robert Saleh during the 2024 season. Saleh was dismissed by New York after the team opened that campaign with a 2-3 record. Solomon Thomas, who played under Saleh in San Francisco and New York before reuniting with him in Nashville, stated the move did not make sense because the Jets were tied for first in their division at the time. The firing concluded a tenure for Saleh that resulted in a 22-34 record. While some players and observers defended his leadership, the organization moved on after failing to reach consistent success. Robert Saleh noted that his focus for the upcoming matchup remains solely on winning the season opener.
