Robert Saleh fired: Will Bill Belichick be next Jets head coach?
Belichick already turned down the chance to work for Jets owner Woody Johnson in 2000 around the time Johnson bought the team from Leon Hess’ family in January 2000. Belichick was previously the Jets’ defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells from 1997-99, and when Parcells retired following the 1999 season, he hand-picked Belichick to succeed him.
