The NY Jets have a new leading man as late Thursday night the team announced that Robert Saleh would take over as their next head coach.

Saleh comes in from the San Francisco 49ers organization where he served as the defensive coordinator from 2017 through the end of the 2020 season.

After the disaster that was the Adam Gase era, the team needed to find the right guy — and they did. The Jets needed a leader, someone who could come in from day one and change the losing culture into a winning one.
