Former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh will have a second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday, according to ESPN.com and PFT. This move suggests that Saleh’s first meeting last week was taken seriously by the Jaguars, who are considering him as a potential candidate for their head coaching position.
Saleh has also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys, signaling that he is a prime target for several teams in search of a new coach. While some speculate that he may be returning to the 49ers as a defensive coordinator, Saleh’s past experiences show that fired coaches have quickly found employment elsewhere. Notably, Eric Mangini went from the Jets to the Browns without an offseason layoff, and Rex Ryan secured a job with Buffalo after being let go by the Jets.
The Jaguars’ interest in Saleh may not be swayed by his early departure from the Jets due to mismanagement issues within the organization. Instead, this could indicate that Saleh is seen as a solution for a team struggling like the Jets, who are perceived as having top-down problems.
