Former Buffalo Bills assistant coach Phoebe Schecter is an NFL expert and plays for the Great Britain flag football team.

Robert Saleh became the first NFL head coach to lose his job this season, being fired by the New York Jets after last Sunday's loss in London, and I was surprised that it happened so early.

It's not like they have a terrible record. They are 2-3 heading into Monday Night Football against Buffalo, their division rival. They could be playing for first place in their division, so it really felt a bit abrupt, but ultimately I don't think Saleh was the problem.

When you sign a quarterback like four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers – one of the biggest names in the sport – you're bringing in much more than just a player. He's almost becoming his own offensive coordinator, right? That's not exactly an easy relationship for a head coach and a quarterback, and there were signs of ambiguity between Saleh and Rodgers.

Rodgers had a really good game against the Patriots three weeks ago, but there was that moment when Saleh hugged him and Rodgers pushed him away. Then, after the loss to Denver, both talked about cadence issues and holding people accountable. Those were signs that it was coming, but if it's coming so soon, I think it's unfortunate for Saleh.

The Jets named (defensive coordinator) Jeff Ulbrich interim head coach and he told (quarterbacks coach) that Todd Downing will be the offensive lineman.

He was essentially demoted to (offensive coordinator) Nathaniel Hackett, which I think is what Saleh wanted to do before he was fired. But Saleh, a defensive-minded head coach, had lost that power on the offensive side of the ball, and I don't think Rodgers would have provided him with a comfortable environment.

I think it's really telling that Ulbrich demotes Hackett as soon as he takes on the role. Ulbrich was there, he saw what was going on, he was at all the team meetings, so he will know what it's about.
