Robert Saleh To​ Have Second Interview ⁤for Jaguars Head⁢ Coach Position

Robert Saleh, the ⁢former coach of the New ⁤York Jets, is emerging as a⁣ serious contender for the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching vacancy. Saleh will have a second interview wiht⁢ the Jaguars on Friday, according to reports.

This follow-up interview, coming so soon after his initial ​meeting last week, suggests that​ the Jaguars are strongly considering Saleh for the position. The NFL coaching carousel is in‍ full swing, and teams are quickly‌ moving ‌to secure top candidates.

Saleh has also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys, highlighting his appeal across the league. The Jaguars’ second interview sends a clear message to other interested teams that ⁤they need to make a‍ decision soon.

While Saleh​ is often mentioned as ‍a likely⁤ candidate for defensive coordinator roles, potentially ⁤with the San Francisco⁤ 49ers, recent history suggests⁤ that⁤ fired coaches can find immediate success in new positions. Several coaches, including Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan, Chip Kelly, Adam‌ Gase, Ron Rivera, Frank Reich, and Andy Reid, have transitioned seamlessly to new head coaching roles following previous firings.

Saleh’s abrupt ​dismissal by‌ the ‌Jets in the early ⁣portion of the​ 2024 season might not deter‍ other ‍teams. ‌some may see it as ​a sign that Saleh ‌was ‌not the issue in New York and that he could be the solution they are seeking⁢ to turn around​ their fortunes.
