Former Jets coach Robert Saleh is in the running for the Jaguars’ head coach position after a successful first interview last week
Jacksonville: So, it looks like Robert Saleh is getting another shot with the Jaguars. After his first interview last week, they want to see more of him. It’s a good sign, right?
With Ben Johnson out of the picture, the Jaguars are moving on to other candidates. Saleh’s name is still in the mix, and that’s exciting. The coaching carousel is spinning fast, and teams are eager to fill their spots.
He’s also had talks with the Raiders and Cowboys, but the Jaguars are taking a closer look. It’s like a message to other teams: if you want him, you better act fast.
People think he might go back to being a defensive coordinator, maybe with the 49ers. But you never know. Some coaches bounce back quickly after being let go. Just look at Eric Mangini or Rex Ryan; they found new jobs right away.
Even though the Jets have a reputation for being a mess, Saleh’s early firing might not be a red flag. It could mean he wasn’t the issue there, and another team might just find the solution they need in him.
