According to reporter Josina Anderson, the New York Jets are planning to hire Saleh as their next head coach. This move would come as a little bit of a surprise, as many believed the Jets were going to hire another offensive-minded coach to take over their team.
A source who was a candidate for the job told me the #Jets informed them they are hiring Robert Saleh.

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has confirmed the Robert Saleh hire.
Jets are hiring former 49ers’ DC Robert Saleh as their next head coach, per league sources. The two sides now have reached agreement on a five-year deal.

To be honest, I think this would be a slam dunk hire for the New York Jets. Robert Saleh would bring energy, stability, and passion to a New York Jets team that desperately needs a culture shift.
If I’m a member of gang green nation, I’m hoping that Robert Saleh will be the next head coach of the Jets. He would be a full 180 from the Adam Gase regime, and the organization would all of the sudden look like less of a joke.
The New York Jets may have just made their best move in a very long time.
