Welcome back to the NFL’s head coach circuit, Robert Saleh.
The former head coach of the New York Jets has landed another job leading an NFL team only two years removed from his dismissal with the Green and White.
It has been announced this week that the Tennessee Titans have hired Saleh to be their next head coach:
Saleh, 46, led the Jets from 2021 to mid-2024 when he was fired after five games. He recorded a 20-36 overall record in New York and his stint was marred by the injury quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained quickly into the 2023 season.
The Jets had hired Saleh as he was previously the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator. He returned to San Francisco in 2025, leading the 49ers to the NFC divisional round, despite being ravaged by injuries.
