Cowboys to interview Saleh

[Risen Star]

All jokes aside, I'd take Salah over Moore, Witten, Sanders, and some of the other names that have been floated.

I wouldn't.

He's a Pete Carroll protege .........likely runs a defense similar to Quinn

Seattle Seahawks​

[edit]
In February 2011, Saleh was hired as the defensive quality control coach for the Seattle Seahawks under Pete Carroll.[14] He spent three seasons with the Seahawks, including their 2013 championship season when they defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.[3] During this span the defense was known as the Legion of Boom.

Jacksonville Jaguars​

[edit]
Following the Seahawks' 2013 championship, Saleh was named linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars under head coach Gus Bradley.[2][15] Saleh was not retained under new head coach Doug Marrone.

San Francisco 49ers​

[edit]
Saleh with the San Francisco 49ers in 2019
On February 13, 2017, Saleh was named defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers under new head coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan and Saleh previously were assistant coaches for the Houston Texans from 2006–2009.[16]

During the 2019 season, the 49ers defense was sixth in the league in forced turnovers (27), second in total defense (281.8 yards per game), first in passing defense (169.2 yards per game), and fourth in sacks (48). This was the first time since 2003 that the 49ers finished in the top 10 in both scoring and yards per game.[17] Saleh helped lead the team to a 13–3 record and a Super Bowl LIV berth, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 31–20.[18][19]

Saleh would be a home run hire. I can see him winning several Super Bowls here.

Jets are on line one about that claim......

 

[The Quest for Six]

We are turning over every stone.

A brief moment of appreciation for the front office.

or he's the minority interview to meet the NFL coaching interview requirement...

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Again, Jerry could be interviewing the guy to be Kellen Moore's DC

 

[charron]

Shocking they want to interview a real candidate.

 

[chicago JK]

or he's the minority interview to meet the NFL coaching interview requirement...

I am disappointed in Jerry. Should have brought out Marvin Lewis again.

 

[Risen Star]

or he's the minority interview to meet the NFL coaching interview requirement...

We have to do two of those now. For the record. As far as I know talking to Deion didn't count as a formal interview.

 

[gimmesix]

Put together a pretty good defense in New York, but struggled to get a good offense to match. Would be very interested in him as a DC, not as much as an HC. Would rather give someone who hasn't failed at that a try.

 

[rocknrobcowboy]

Be prepared that this is going to be a long drawn out process and that it won't be announce until SB Week for Cowboys New HC..

That's Jera For You..He Loves The Headlines

 

[Risen Star]

McCarthy to Saleh is a massive downgrade.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Does he count to the Rooney rule?

Yes.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I'm a local NJ guy who was hostage to local NY sports talk radio...specifically Jets radio...

There's NO WAY this is serious. This has Rooney Rule written all over it. Deion too...as much as I want it to be true...Deion is not under serious consideration by Jed.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Shocking they want to interview a real candidate.

They said Patrick Crayton is on the list for Friday evening

 

[Miller]

I'm confused internally on this one.....he was horrible with the Jets but they were a mess with talent and ownership. On the other hand he is a legit candidate with a D pedigree. So who knows. I like it better than Witten or Kid Wonder and others but can't see the elevation overall.

 

[sjmike]

The Jets are the worst run franchise and it isn't even close.

No, that would be the Cowboys

 

[Loso86]

They are lining up to coach here.

Yea because they are all lining up to coach the other vacancies too!!!?

 

[Loso86]

I'm confused internally on this one.....he was horrible with the Jets but they were a mess with talent and ownership. On the other hand he is a legit candidate with a D pedigree. So who knows. I like it better than Witten or Kid Wonder and others but can't see the elevation overfall.

He's not that bad of a coach

 

[raw2war]

So who would run the offense

 

[gimmesix]

I wouldn't.

Yeah, I'd rather see Sanders or Moore given a shot than Saleh because at least they haven't tried and failed as a head coach. Not so much with Witten, since he's only been a high school head coach. Yes, he's been a successful one, but that's a big leap. Saleh needs to return to what he did very well, being a DC. I'd take him in a second over Zimmer in that role.
