He just throws Zach Wilson under the bus and does not take any accountability

I hope the jets fire him so he can come back to San Francisco.
GM deserves blame. Saleh is doing a great job with the roster he has. The GM should’ve immediately went out and got a better QB when Rodgers went down but is doing nothing.
Not sure why for the whole season, but I'm surprised by no one really calling him out for the clock management on the Jets final drive yesterday.
Had the ball back with under a minute left, 2 timeouts, and starting around the 10, 15, 20, somewhere in there. The Jets run a few plays and somehow 55+ seconds turns into 13 seconds past the 50, meanwhile multiple plays ended in bounds, yet the 1st of those two timeouts aren't called until the clock hits 13 (technically 12, but they credited him for 13 seconds, even though he should've called it when it was 20, after the Conklin catch play was over.)
Moot to argue now (especially since the Wilson pick was the biggest culprit of the game), but this isn't the 1st time Saleh's struggled with time management and while the QB should also recognize it to a degree the person on the sideline with more football experience is ultimately responsible for what transpires in the game, including timeout usage.
Fans are really inconsistent about this. For example, Shanahan hasn't really gotten much credit for the great 49ers defense of the last couple of years. Along those lines, he also gets way more crap for 28-3 than Dan Quinn ever has. Lose lose situation for a lot of coaches.
Simply put, people blame who they want to because they don't like them, and that's about all there is to it.
