Bill Belichick decimates Woody Johnson and NY Jets for Robert Saleh firing

It's safe to say that, despite the widespread fantasy booking and wishful thinking, Bill Belichick will never be the head coach of the NY Jets. Belichick hates the Jets, and it's likely the Jets don't feel any different.

Not only did Belichick make a career out of tormenting the Jets on and off the field, but he's seemingly picked up the new hobby of trash-talking the team whenever he gets the chance now that he's in his analyst era.

That was very much the case when Belichick was a special guest on the ManningCast for Monday night's 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. Belichick didn't hold back when discussing his thoughts on the Robert Saleh firing.

In particular, Belichick went off on Jets owner Woody Johnson, blaming him for many of the organization's struggles over the last couple of decades. Yeah...I don't think Johnson is hiring Belichick anytime soon.

"I'm not a big Jets fan, in case you don't know that. I thought Coach [Robert] Saleh really did a good job with this team. That's kind of what it's been there with the Jets. They've barely won over 30% in the last 10 years. The owner being the owner... ready, fire aim."

Bill Belichick savages Woody Johnson and the NY Jets on ManningCast

Belichick had kind words to say about Saleh, insisting he "did a good job" with the Jets. The longtime Patriots head coach was critical of the Jets' decision to fire Saleh, pointing the finger at one man — Woody Johnson.

Belichick went on to bash the Jets for their losing ways over the last decade while making it very clear that he was not fond of the franchise, to put it lightly. It was a brutal verbal beatdown that came as the Jets trailed the Bills toward the end of the first half.

While it's too early to make any declarative statements about the Jets' decision to fire Saleh, the early results haven't been promising. The Jeff Ulbrich era started off pretty much exactly how the Saleh era ended — with a crushing loss in a game the Jets very well could've won.

From their double-digit penalties to the team's repeated unforced errors, many of the issues that plagued the Jets under Saleh were not corrected by the coaching change on Monday. If anything, the defense looked even worse without Saleh in charge.

That doesn't mean the Jets inherently made the wrong decision, but it's likely this isn't the start Johnson envisioned when he made the switch to Ulbrich. In that respect, Belichick absolutely has a point here.

If Ulbrich doesn't work out and the Jets are searching for a new head coach this offseason, it feels like a safe assumption that Belichick will have zero interest in a job offer. And at this stage, the feeling is probably mutual.
