Jets are hiring former 49ers’ DC Robert Saleh as their next head coach, per league sources. The two sides now have reached agreement on a five-year deal.

He is. And props to Shanahan for being patient with him when everyone wanted him fired after two years.

I agree, but I don’t like the fit with the Jets. They refuse to hire a respected offensive mind as HC, despite having terrible offenses year after year, coach after coach.

Once again the Jets are rebuilding with a defensive HC and a rookie QB.

Yeah running 15% more cover 4 instead of cover three is a TOTAL change and shows a complete lack of adjustment by a DC... oh wait...

He also abandoned his fronts and went to the side 9 and completely changed how the LB and SS interact, being more variable and less rigid

Basically rejected the carroll scheme he had been running

I’ll give you the wide 9. But they started out in 2019 with the wide 9 sets almost every play and were getting gashed so bad in the run they toned it down quite a bit. A good DC making adjustments and will to try new things.

Jets finally made a wise move. Everyone is after Joe Brady but Saleh is the brighter star. He will bring a much needed level headed approach to that team.
