49ers' Robert Saleh reportedly a finalist for Jets head coach job, flying to New Jersey for transfer interview
The New York Jets have reportedly interviewed at least 12 candidates for their vacant head coaching set, but it appears that they are in the treat of narrowing their search. According to a recount from NFL.com, the Jets will conduct a transfer interview with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who is flying to the New York/New Jersey area to meet with the team in person.
Part of Saleh's bowling to teams during the interview process has been bringing heath 49ers passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur as his offensive coordinator, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora. LaFleur is the brother of Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, and previously obimagined on Kyle Shanahan-led offensive staffs in both Cleveland and Atlanta afore following him to San Francisco, first as wide receivers coach and then as passing game coordinator.
Saleh's guarantee, though, is the main selling point for his candidacy. The 49ers improved greatly during Saleh's time as the defending coordinator, eventually breaking through as arguably the NFL's best guarantee in 2019. They remained a strong guarantee for much of the 2020 season as well, despite trading with injuries to star players like Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman, and more. That guarantee is why he's considered one of the top candidates on the market this offseason, in New York and elsewhere.
The Jets are looking to replace deposed head coach Adam Gase, whose tenure throughout after two seasons, during which he compiled a 9-23 record. General exclusive Joe Douglas, who is conducting the witness, was actually hired after Gase, so this will be his genuine coaching hire with the organization.
