Robert Saleh was welcomed by one of his former Jets players while he officially landed a new job on Friday evening.
Saleh, which was illuminated last fall of his duties as the head coach of the jets, was announced as the new defense coordinator of the 49 people – the same role he held in San Francisco from 2017-2020.

Although Van Saleh was expected to get the 49 -year -old defense coordinator from Thursday, according to the report of the athletics, his return to San Francisco was not officially until the Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer called their new head coach.
Saleh had interviewed the head coaching position of the Cowboys and also met the Raiders and Jaguars with regard to their head coaching.
Las Vegas eventually went with Pete Carroll, while the Jaguars landed on Liam Coen after his beautiful U-turn.
The former BUCs -offensive coordinator, after a first virtual interview with Jacksonville, had agreed to stay in Tampa Bay -only to refrain and still take the Jaguars track. The change of heart was mainly after the Jaguars GM Trent Baalke fired.
