Aaron Rodgers Describes the Scene at Jets Facility After Finding Out His Coach Was Fired: ‘Like in a John Wick Movie’

Aaron Rodgers said the moment New York Jets players found out their coach was fired reminded him of a scene from the action film series John Wick.

The Jets on Tuesday made the stunning move to part ways with head coach Robert Saleh. The firing came days after the team lost 23-17 to the Minnesota Vikings in London.

With the loss, the team fell to 2-3. Still, thanks to other teams in the AFC East struggling, the Jets remain second in the division behind only the Buffalo Bills.

Jets owner Woody Johnson, however, apparently felt the team was headed in the wrong direction and made his first in-season firing since buying the franchise in 2000.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers described how it felt like a John Wick scene at the team facility.

“Well, I was in the training room doing rehab,” Rodgers said, “and it’s one of those things — like in a John Wick movie, is the best way to equate it — where John Wick becomes ‘excommunicado,’ And then everybody at the Continental’s phone starts vibrating.”

In the movies, Wick — played by Keanu Reeves — is a famed assassin forced out of retirement after being the victim of a home invasion. At some point in the series, he becomes “excommunicado” — or excommunicated — from the film’s secret society of assassins. This makes Wick a target, and the other assassins receive the news simultaneously on their phones.
