The Council on American–Islamic Relations wants answers about Robert Saleh being fired.
Saleh, the NFL’s first Muslim coach, was fired on Tuesday with the Jets 2-3 for the season after losing to the Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday.
CAIR released a statement on Tuesday addressing the firing of former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
They are calling on the Jets and owner Woody Johnson to explain reports on why Saleh was escorted out of the building by security following his firing while also bringing up that the head coach was fired just days after wearing a pin with the Lebanese flag amid ongoing attacks on the nation by Israel.

“We commend Coach Robert Saleh for making history as the first American Muslim head coach in NFL history. Although no one should jump to conclusions about why the Jets fired Coach Saleh, the report that Jets security physically escorted Saleh out of the building does raise concerns about the possible motive for such unusual hostility—especially given that Saleh wore a Lebanese flag pin at a game just days ago and that owner Woody Johnson is a former Trump administration official who has been accused of making racially charged remarks. We encourage the Jets to thoroughly explain its unusually hostile reported treatment of Coach Saleh,” the statement read.
Saleh might be disappointed about his firing, but he and his family need not worry, as they will be more than taken care of for the next two years.
Robert Saleh Might Be Out of a Job, But He Will Still Be Getting Many Paychecks
Robert Saleh’s tenure as head coach of the New York Jets came to an end on Tuesday.
He was still coaching on his original five-year contract, which he signed when he was hired by the Jets in January 2021.
A 2-3 start after high offseason expectations was Saleh’s final nail in the coffin.
He might be without a job but surely will not be broke.
Let’s take a look at the eye-catching financials of what the Jets still owe Saleh over the next two years:
Per Rodney Reeves of Front Office Sports, Saleh’s total compensation from the Jets for the 2024 season is $5 million.
Robert Saleh is owed around $10 million more on the five-year contract.
