The NY Jets officially announced the hiring of new head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday, five days after it was originally reported.
The news originally broke Thursday night that the Jets had struck a deal with the now-former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator to be the team’s next head coach, the 20th in franchise history.
The deal, a five-year one, became official on Tuesday when Saleh flew out to Florham Park to meet with the Jets’ brass and sign his contract.
