New York had several anonymous sources speak out to The Athletic detailing the dysfunction of the team over the last few years. Whether it was an overbearing owner, a general manager struggling to bring in the right players, or a quarterback demanding things be done his way, there were a lot of issues Saleh had to deal with.

Saleh, the former Jets coach, is scheduled to interview with the Jaguars and Raiders for their head coaching vacancies. He met with the 49ers on Thursday for their defensive coordinator position. Saleh held that job for four years before the Jets hired him as head coach in 2021.

The San Francisco 49ers began their search for a new defensive coordinator by interviewing Robert Saleh for a second stint at the job and Detroit Lions assistant Deshea Townsend.
