When the Cowboys welcome the Jets to AT&T Stadium on Sunday, it will be a reunion of familiar faces for quite a few members of each team, even with Aaron Rodgers out for the year with a torn Achilles. We already talked about Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett’s longstanding ties to Mike McCarthy, but the head coach for Gang Green is also plenty familiar with Dan Quinn.
Robert Saleh, in his third season as the Jets head coach, comes from the same Legion of Boom coaching tree as Quinn. After getting his start as a coach in the college ranks, Saleh jumped to the NFL with the Texans before later joining the Seahawks as part of Pete Carroll’s inaugural staff.
