ScarletKnight89 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I don't know if this makes him the front runner. His team is out of it, so he has no restrictions on what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SAR I Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 3 minutes ago, Wonderboy said: Don’t know much this guy. Can you guys add some key points please. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Saleh’s brother David was on his second day of training for a new job on the 61st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the South Tower. When terrorists flew a plane into the North Tower, David scrambled down the staircase. He escaped only after a second plane hit the South Tower. The day shook Saleh and made him question what he wanted. He had a comfortable job at Comerica in Detroit as a credit analyst, but he couldn’t stop thinking about football, which had always held a firm grip on him. His father was a star at Fordson, and numerous Saleh brothers and cousins moved through the school as it became a local powerhouse. He played tight end in college at Northern Michigan, becoming an all-conference player at the Division II school. As he began a professional career, he realized he could not leave the sport behind. “That 9/11 incident caused a lot of us to reevaluate our lives and what we want to do with them,” Stergalas said. “I think that’s what hit Robert. He realized he wanted to follow his passion. 9/11 forced that decision for Robert, I believe.” When Vollmar added Saleh to Michigan State’s staff, Saleh’s salary dropped from about $50,000, with the chance to make six figures quickly if he stayed on track, to $750 a month. “It didn’t matter,” Saleh said. “At that point, it wasn’t about money. It was about waking up and being happy.” Saleh determined he was not going back to Comerica, but he still developed a mental escape hatch: If he hadn’t established himself by 30, he could return to banking and chase the money. In 2005, when he was 25, then-Houston Texans coach Dom Capers called and hired Saleh as an intern. It was then, before stops as an assistant in Seattle and Jacksonville en route to being hired as San Francisco’s coordinator in 2017, that he knew he would stay in coaching for the rest of his life. Saleh still approaches coaching with the fervor of someone willing to leave a life behind to pursue it. When he watches one of his players execute a play exactly how he had coached it all week, after coaches and players had invested so much time and mental energy in one another, he feels like he watched one of his children — he is a father of six — master a new task. His outward intensity, though, is confined to moments when his players succeed. Saleh rejects many tactics embedded in football culture. He does not embarrass players or motivate through fear. He does not tolerate mistakes, but rather than screaming at players, he explains how to avoid them. “That’s what you appreciate about his coaching style,” Sherman said. “There’s never a negative, like, ‘Man, you suck! You made a mistake!’ It’s like, ‘Hey, I need you to be better than you were.’ He talks to you in a reasonable way that still holds you accountable […] to the team but doesn’t demean you.” “When you look at these guys, they’re all men, and they all want to be treated with respect,” Saleh said. “ … You expect them to treat you with respect as a coach. Well, you should be able to reciprocate that to the player. They deserve it. They earned it.” Saleh has earned his way here, taking his American story to the biggest stage in American sports. Saleh will focus on his defense Sunday, screaming and shoving players when they succeed, correcting them when they don’t. But he realizes he has a larger role to play, too. “I get lost in my own world, so I never get a chance to think about it,” Saleh said. “I know it’s a big deal. If it can change one life, then that’s awesome. Just to get people thinking outside the box of what they’re actually capable of, because the people of Dearborn are capable of great things.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/01/31/robert-salehs-rise-super-bowl-began-muslim-community-where-football-is-king/ SAR I 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it too, but it doesn’t necessarily make him the front runner. Remember, teams can’t bring coaches for in person interviews yet, if their team is still in the playoffs.

ganggreen305 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 This would be great, especially with Kafka coming on board too. Man, I am tired of getting my hopes up with this team only to be deflated later. Lets do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Seems like a well respected young coach. While I have no way of knowing if he would or would not make a good HC, I would be happy with this hire. And, if it did not work out, he was a tight end in college, guy looks like he could still suit up, and given the state of our TE depth chart.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Johnson's tend to go for opposites to try to flip the culture quickly. Saleh is the anti-Gase from a personality standpoint. Energetic and animated vs. quiet and pensive. If we're not going to get an experienced head coach and must choose a coordinator, this is the guy I'd prefer. SAR I 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be_a_Jet Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Saleh bringing one of those Shanahan disciples on the Offensive side is the key.
