The NY Jets honed in on their target, Robert Saleh, most recently the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, and signed the Lebanese leader of men to a five-year contract to become the head coach and leader of the Jets franchise.
This coaching hire is out of the ordinary for many reasons, the most glaring one being the decisions were actually made by the Jets front office.
Led by general manager Joe Douglas, president Hymie Elhai, and owner Chris Johnson, this time, the Jets did not hire an outside consulting to recommend a coaching staff.
