A classy Robert Saleh predicted the Jets still make the playoffs after his firing

Former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh is taking the high road after his abrupt firing.

After the Jets let him go as the team's head coach after a 2-3 start, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer shared on Thursday Night Football a message that Saleh wished to share with the world about his team.

"He still believes in the group of players in that locker room," Breer said of Saleh, "He still thinks... they're going to the playoffs."

Well, that's a pretty classy move for his former Jets team if you ask us.

Good on Saleh for being supportive of his former players, even if he won't be working with them any longer as their head coach.
