Klopp also got sabotaged by injuries, departures, and some fairly extreme conversion data on both ends (2nd to Bayern in shots/shots allowed as people have mentioned) in a way that Jose hasn't been. Jose lost no one he didn't want to lose and hasn't been hit by anything terrible on the injury front apart from the keeper. A comparable circumstance for Chelsea would have been Costa leaving for Manchester City and Hazard and Fabregas having large parts of their seasons ruined by injury.
That said, I just made a tl;dr post explaining why I'd still keep him. There's no question it's been shocking, but August-to-October is also a fairly small sample size, and we've seen age/title hangovers wreck havoc before (though I'm aware this is a historically inept title defense).
