Robert Saleh Joins Packers in Consulting Role

Robert Saleh, recently fired as the head coach of the New York Jets, has joined the Green Bay Packers in a consulting capacity to provide a defensive perspective to their offense. Saleh was offered the position by his longtime friend and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, with whom he shares a deep personal and professional history. While Saleh's role is not formalized, he will be working with the Packers' offense to identify defensive vulnerabilities, a strategy the Packers have previously utilized with other defensive coaches. Saleh's presence is expected to benefit both coaches and players, as the Packers aim to maintain their competitive edge in the NFC North. His collaboration with the Packers underscores the enduring professional bonds he has maintained throughout his career despite his recent dismissal from the Jets. Saleh's tenure with the Jets concluded after a challenging start to the season, with a personal record of 20-36 over three-plus seasons.
