"SANTA CLARA - Robert Saleh has been through this before so he knows what's coming. And while the natural inclination would be to begin casting an eye on which NFL coaching vacancy would be the best opportunity, for now he'll leave that up to the Wasserman Group. The agency, which includes Bay Area native Doug Hendrickson as vice president, posted on the social media platform X that it is representing Saleh during the upcoming round of coaching musical chairs."
"Saleh figures to be choosy about which jobs to pursue. He already worked more than three seasons for the New York Jets. The dysfunction of the franchise from ownership down is so ingrained that Saleh's 20-36 record from 2021 and into 2024 isn't likely to be held against him. The Miami Dolphins dismissed McDaniel Thursday. The other seven openings and the coaches who were relieved are Baltimore (John Harbaugh), Cleveland (Kevin Stefanski), the New York Giants (Brian Daboll),"
Robert Saleh is represented by the Wasserman Group and cannot speak to other teams until next week. Interviews, whether remote or in person, are limited to three hours under the league's process. Saleh said the structure allows coaches to focus on their current jobs and that he is completely focused on the Philadelphia game. The 49ers (12-5) visit the Eagles (11-6) in an NFC wild-card matchup. Saleh is expected to be selective after three-plus seasons with the New York Jets, where a 20-36 record reflected deep franchise dysfunction. Multiple head-coaching vacancies exist around the league.
