Robert Saleh apparently has no second chance as a chief coach in this recruitment cycle.
Saleh is I returned to San FranciscoBack as a team’s defensive coordinator, reports Theathletic.com Thursday evening.
He interviewed cowboys, jaguars and raiders and appeared to be one of the favorites for the position in Jacksonville. Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator Liam Coen started negotiating with the team Thursday after the dismissal of the Director General Trent Baalke, and Coen should now become the Jaguars head coach.
Saleh canceled his flight to Jacksonville Thursday evening for a second interview scheduled for Friday.
The jets returned Saleh five games after her fourth season, with a 20-36 file during his stay in New York.
Saleh initially joined the 49ers in 2017, and its defense “all gas, without brake” has become one of the best units in the League in two years. His work in San Francisco earned him the post of the jets, and this could lead to a second opportunity as a chief coach after the 2025 season, according to the way things take place.
Matt Maiocco de NBC Sports Bay Area recently reported that the 49ers had proposed to make Saleh the best paid defensive coordinator in the league.
Now they have their man.
