Aaron Rodgers has denied any involvement in the firing of Robert Saleh as the New York Jets coach, dismissing allegations as 'patently false.' The Jets owner, Woody Johnson, made the decision to relieve Saleh of his duties after the team's 2-3 start in his fourth season. Despite speculation from media and fans suggesting Rodgers may have influenced Johnson, both parties confirmed that the decision was solely Johnson's.
Following Saleh's departure, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was appointed as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Rodgers clarified that his conversation with Johnson was merely a check-in regarding his ankle injury and did not involve Saleh's future.
