Robert Saleh Considered for Jaguars Coaching Position

Robert Saleh, recently fired as head coach of the New York Jets, is emerging as a top candidate for the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coaching position. Despite a challenging stint with the Jets, where he finished with a 20-36 record, Saleh's defensive strategies gained recognition, with his teams ranking in the top five for defense during his last two seasons. Reports indicate there is 'real buzz' in Jacksonville about his potential hiring, bolstered by his previous experience as the Jaguars' linebackers coach from 2014 to 2016. Saleh also has interviews lined up with the Las Vegas Raiders and may return to the San Francisco 49ers as their defensive coordinator if head coaching opportunities do not materialize. The new coach will need to address the Jaguars' defensive struggles and help quarterback Trevor Lawrence recover from a disappointing season. Competition for the Jaguars' head coach position includes other notable candidates, but Saleh's familiarity with the franchise could work in his favor.
