Surprise, Surprise.. Robert Saleh is heading to...

[Deleted]

New York Jets for 2nd interview.

Let's see.... Top Organizations in line at the Saleh Bar...

1. Philadelphia  This team is made for a guy like Saleh...Plenty of Talent
2. Los Angeles Chargers (Great Weather) Disneyland, Hollywood and a team ready to step up
3. New Your Jets    Ching
4. Atlanta
5. Houston ... As long as DeShaun approves
6. Detroit ... Home Sweet Home but the cupboards are bare...

[Blaming Brad]

The "headline" would have been better if you said, "Surprise, Surprise.. Robert Saleh is heading to the Jets..."

...for a second interview.

Also not sure about how attractive Philly is. They have some talent, but a lot of it is aging and expensive. Add into that Wentz and the cap he’ll they’re in...that’s a tough spot.

Good, I hope they pass on Saleh.

Or he passes on them.  Depending on your level of organizational bashing.

Why?

[Honolulublue]

Monitoring Jets Twitter, he still hasn't left Jets facility and feeling is he's gonna take the job. Damn we can't have nice things here.

Wise

His family may be in danger that lives here if he is not successful. In all seriousness, I can see why someone thats family is from here would not want the pressure of coaching here.

Not a lot of expectations ..lol

That rumor about not a good interview may have been true.

Still think it’s interesting Dodds seems on board as Saleh seems to be going another direction.

Saleh interview done left NY without a contract.

Get him Lions!  Blank check

update Interviewing with Philly now

Why?

Because he is all hype.  And the fact that almost the entire Lions fanbase want him tells me how overhyped he is.  Time will tell.  He may be a good coach, but it will only depend who he gets as his assistants and if they can draft probowl linemen.



Any way it is moot now.


Saleh hired by the Jets.

I liked the idea of a Shanahan tree coordinator like McDaniel or Lafleur more than Saleh really, but I did like Saleh.

I do appreciate in a way that leadership didn’t just fall into public pressure and hire him even if they felt he wasn’t their top guy.

I agree...Pick the guy or gal you want because you like their style and you feel comfortable, not someone that checks some box.

Looks like we dodged a bullet on this one...man, Wilson's fault or not, theyve completely mis-managed him

When you posted that Eagles fans wanted Roseman's head on a platter.

I know. It really was messy at the time. I remember when Lions took Alim and it was clear one of his ops guys wanted him and looked visibly pissed at him.

Did a hell of a job flipping it back around.

Eagles fans will be calling for his head again within 3 years.

It's eerie how similar the Lions and Eagles stats are this season. Only difference is they pulled out an OT win while the Lions never had a chance.
