NY Jets players give Robert Saleh low grades on NFLPA report card

The New York Jets’ Robert Saleh was one of the bottom-ranked coaches on the NFLPA report card

The annual NFLPA team report card from this past season for the New York Jets and all 31 other teams has been released.

To get the results, 1,700 different players assessed various aspects of each NFL organization. This included the head coach, ownership, food, travel, and treatment of families.

In these rankings, the New York Jets ranked 21st overall in the NFL. Their highest grade was for the Nutritionist/Dietician, which was a B+ and ranked 10th in the league.

Head coach Robert Saleh was given a B grade, ranking 24th in the league. Yet, the website for the results stated that “Only 72% of players feel head coach Robert Saleh is efficient with their time,” which ranked 28th overall. The report also mentions that the players feel Robert Saleh is “somewhat” willing to listen to the locker room, ranking 29th in this category.

Outside of the Nutritionist/Dietician, the team ranked outside of the top 16 in every other category. They ranked 25th in the treatment of families and food, receiving a D- and C- respectively.

Their two worst rankings were regarding the training staff and the training room. The training staff was ranked 29th in the league, as players “feel the training staff only slightly contributes to their success.”

The training room was ranked 27th in the league, with one of the main anecdotes being “some players find it difficult to get the necessary treatment and rehab to prepare to play at their best.”

Other rankings included a C- for the locker room, a C for team travel, and B- grades for ownership, the weight room, and strength coaches. Team owner Woody Johnson ranked 20th out of 32 owners with an 8.2/10 rating “when considering his willingness to invest in the facilities.”

Compared to last season, the Jets are two spots lower, dropping from 19th to 21st. Additionally, they regressed with their training room and locker room, dropping multiple spots compared to last year’s results.

The coaching staff’s lack of efficiency with their time was a reoccurring issue, as it was cited in last year’s NFLPA report card and not improved on in 2023.

Overall, the NFLPA rankings show that the Jets need to do more to ensure their players are cared for.

The issues that need to be fixed on the field are well documented, especially with the coaching staff. But for the Jets to reach their full potential, the off-field aspects the questionnaire highlights need to be addressed swiftly and effectively.

A “B” is NOT a low grade. The grade is not given compared to other teams grades, the players are grading a “B” thinking that’s a good grade, not the best which would be an “A.”

A “B” is better than average, I’m 99% confident the players were giving Saleh a “B” thinking he is better than average, not that he’s one of the lowest ranked coaches.

Not to be rude but your take is way off, and it’s these types of stories that perpetuate the “Same Ol’ Jets” stories which seem predetermined and staged. I’m not saying that’s what you’re trying to do but that’s how it comes off….To me at least.

Bottom line, any student etc who gets a “B” is above average. To say “low grade” is just false.

Ask the players if they are using this scale…you know like what has been used in schools for decades.

A-outstanding
B-very good, above average
C-average, not bad not great
D-below average, needs improvement
F-failing to meet the lowest standards.
