Could Robert Saleh have secured a new job just weeks after the New York Jets cut ties with him? The Jets decided to move on without Saleh after he oversaw a 2–4 start to the season while maintaining a losing 20–36 record over three years.

However, although he claimed he would not be plunging back into the NFL any time soon, he was spotted at the Green Bay Packers, which also happens to be Aaron Rodgers' former team.

"Recently fired Jets coach Robert Saleh is at Packers practice. Long history between him and Matt LaFleur," Rob Demovsky tweeted on Wednesday.

However, neither party has explained why Saleh was at the practice and whether there was a possibility that he would be joining the Packers in some coaching capacity, possibly as an assistant.

Fans reacted to the news on X, formerly Twitter.

Robert Saleh spotted grocery shopping days after firing

Days after being fired by his former team, a photographer spotted Saleh running errands and shopping for groceries at a store. When he approached him and asked him how he was doing after his firing, Saleh said:

"Living the dream, brother."

When asked if he would be coaching in the NFL again, he said, "God willing." It seems that might happen any day now.
