FLORHAM PARK, NJ – The New York Jets, coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history, have reached a tentative deal with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh to be their next head coach, the team announced Thursday night.
Saleh, 41, who interviewed virtually last Friday, quickly established himself as the favorite for the Jets. On Tuesday, he flew to New Jersey for a second interview.
There was a lot of competition for Saleh, who received interview requests from six of the seven teams in the NFL chief coaching market.
He replaces Adam Gase, who went 9-23 and was fired immediately after the 2020 season.
