Robert Saleh is set to become the Jets new head coach.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport is reporting that Jets head coach candidate Robert Saleh will be the first interviewee to fly out to meet with the Jets brass for a face-to-face interview.
The San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator has been a hot name to pick up a head coaching job since last season and looks to be one step closer to landing a job with the Jets.
Saleh has interviewed with multiple teams thus far and is one of several coaches to come in and interview with the Jets. He has worked for the Texans, Jaguars and Seahawks before landing his current post as the 49ers defensive coordinator. In four seasons with San Francisco, Saleh’s units have ranked 16th, 16th, 3rd and 5th respectively.
