Raiders Considering Robert Saleh For Head-Coaching Job

4 weeks ago

The Las Vegas Raiders are interested in talking with former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh about their head-coach position, according to sources. Saleh was fired by the Jets after just five weeks in 2024 and currently is not employed by a team. Saleh is generating a little bit of head-coaching buzz this cycle, and the San Francisco 49ers are also interested in bringing him back as their defensive coordinator. The 45-year-old began coaching in the NFL as a defensive intern in 2005 with the Houston Texans before becoming the Seattle Seahawks' defensive quality control coach in 2011. He spent three years as linebackers coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars become becoming the Niners' D coordinator in 2017. In four seasons as the Jets' head coach, Saleh struggled to a 20-36 record and did not make the postseason.
