Robert Saleh breaks silence after Jets firing

Robert Saleh broke his silence on Wednesday after the New York Jets fired him.

Saleh gave a statement to ESPN nearly 24 hours after the organization’s decision to dismiss him.

"To the Jets Organization, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many incredible people. I will always be appreciative of the love and support from everyone at 1 Jets Drive," he said.

"To all of the players, I truly love and appreciate every single one of you. The character of the men in the locker room made coaching you guys the ultimate privilege. Through all the ups and downs, each and every one of you showed up everyday and attacked every moment. 

"To my fellow coaches and staff, it has been an honor to work with all of you. Every one of you were "all in" and made sacrifices for one another that will never be forgotten. I wish you all the very best of luck for the remainder of the season. 

"To the most passionate fan base in the NFL, thank you for embracing my family. It has been a pleasure calling New York our home and we will forever appreciate all of the memories that were created here. "

He signed off, saying "All Gas No Brake!!!"
