Robert Saleh's Firing Linked to Jets' London Loss, According to Drew Brees
Insights from Drew Brees on Robert Saleh's Firing
Legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees has a theory about the recent firing of Robert Saleh, head coach of the New York Jets. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Brees connected the Jets' disappointing loss against the Minnesota Vikings in London on October 6 with Saleh's firing just two days later.
“Here’s what I believe happened,” Brees stated. “You lose that game in London, you shouldn’t have lost that game. That’s a long plane ride back. Maybe emotions ran high and something was said, something was done, something happened where all of a sudden there was a knee-jerk reaction like, ‘We’re going in a different direction.’”
