Robert Saleh is set to return to the NFL head coaching ranks after being hired by the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports. The former Jets coach and current 49ers defensive coordinator was a top finalist for the vacant head coaching position in Music City, and his hiring brings an end to another coaching search.
The move gives Saleh a second chance at leading an NFL team, having previously spent three-plus seasons as the Jets' head coach with a record of just 20-36. His tenure in New York was marked by controversy and upheaval, but he will now have the opportunity to re-establish himself in front of a new fan base.
As part of his deal with the Titans, Saleh is expected to remain involved on defense, a role that brought him significant success during his time as 49ers defensive coordinator. However, there were reports that he had expressed regret over not being able to call more plays during his previous stint in New York.
Saleh's hiring also marks a notable development for the Titans, who have the No. 1 overall pick and are projected to have $100 million in cap space. The team's search for a new head coach was widely seen as a priority, and they appear to have found a candidate who can bring stability and leadership to their organization.
While details of Saleh's contract remain unclear, reports suggest that he and the Titans were able to come to an agreement after a productive meeting between the two parties. The deal gives Saleh another chance to prove himself in the NFL and will likely be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
