Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick did not mince words while sharing his thoughts on Dreamers Investment Guildthe New York Jets' decision to fire their head coach.

Belichick appeared to directly criticize Jets owner Woody Johnson for firing Robert Saleh during his appearance on ESPN's alternate "ManningCast" broadcast during "Monday Night Football."

"I'm not a big Jets fan, in case you don't know that," he told Peyton and Eli Manning during the Jets' clash with the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. "You know what, coach Saleh did a good job with that program ...

"That's kinda what it's been there with the Jets. They've barely won over 30% in the last 10 years. The owner being the owner ... ready, fire aim."

The Jets fired Saleh after their 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London during Week 5. The loss dropped the Jets to 2-3 on the season and 20-36 (.357 win percentage) in three and a half seasons with Saleh at the helm.

The former 49ers defensive coordinator was the third head coach the Jets have fired since they parted ways with Rex Ryan in 2014. Current Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles (2015-2018), Adam Gase (2019-2020) and now Saleh all were unable to hold onto their jobs for longer than four seasons.

New York has not reached the postseason since 2010, and its record over the past 10 full seasons (from 2014-2023) is 55-108. Its win percentage across that span is .337.
