I am so damn excited for Saleh. He is a leader. Unbelievable man and coach. Can’t wait to watch him turn around the Jets organization!

Credit to Joe Douglas for an open mind in both the search and HC hiring process.

Douglas had never met Saleh before Saleh’s Zoom interview Friday.
Didn’t matter. Past relationships & resume crossovers didn’t matter.
A meritocracy. Best candidate—not buddy—won. @gmfb @nyjets
The #Jets chose Robert Saleh as their new head coach in part because of his leadership abilities. Running one of the NFL’s best defenses doesn’t hurt, either. He went into the process believing the Jets had one of the top openings. And he landed it.

Knowing Robert Saleh, he will be steady, prepared and have his staff’s and players’ allegiance. Epitome of a leader.

Text from @49ers GM John Lynch on Robert Saleh: "Robert's earned this opportunity. He's smart, a tremendously gifted leader and ready for this challenge. We'll miss him dearly but he's left us better and we'll be proud of all that he'll accomplish. The @Jets are very fortunate."

Why were the #Jets so impressed with Robert Saleh during his two interviews?
— Kimberley A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) January 15, 2021
Several reasons, but mainly: Saleh showed clear leadership ability and verbalized a clear plan for a new direction for the franchise.
Let’s do this😈 @nyjets https://t.co/LPsCUg8Bvr

The Jets & Robert Saleh agree to a 5-year deal for him to become their next head coach.

The 49ers defense ranked in the Top 10 in yards per game, 3rd down pct, and defensive efficiency since Saleh became the 49ers defensive coordinator in 2017. pic.twitter.com/EFhs53GG4F
