Robert Saleh has emerged as a finalist for the Jets head coaching job.
The NFL Network reported that the Jets are flying in Saleh for a second interview on Tuesday. Jets general manager Joe Douglas and other team officials met with Saleh virtually last Friday.
The 49ers defensive coordinator is the first reported candidate that the Jets will speak to for a second time. There are expected to be more.
The Jets have conducted nine known interviews to this point in their search for Adam Gase’s replacement.
