Popular Post KRL Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/01/18/mmqb-divisional-round-chad-henne-chiefs-bills-packers-buccaneers The Jets really did want a wide-open process. And as such, owner Christopher Johnson, president Hymie Elhai and GM Joe Douglas did their best coming out of a season-ending loss in Foxboro to wipe the slate clean completely—and look under every rock (offense, defense, special teams and college) while really starting anew on Monday, Jan. 4. That meant making calls on a lengthy list of candidates, and the feedback on 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was remarkably simple. It was, You just gotta talk to him. And it didn’t take long for the ultra-energetic Saleh to make his presence felt, even if it was virtual. But that much the Jets expected. All you need is a TV to know how Saleh can bring it. But what Johnson, Douglas and Elhai were struck by was how poised and thoughtful Saleh was, even with all that energy, in detailing his plan. And that showed up with a technical mishap on their Zoom interview. Saleh’s internet was spotty early on, then dropped out altogether. He and his wife have six kids, and when Saleh got back on he joked that all the virtual learning happening in his house was sapping the internet away from him—then easily went back into explaining how he’d help to get the Jets off the ground. (Part of that plan, by the way, laid out a roadmap for offensive stability past expected OC Mike LaFleur, should LaFleur get plucked away.) It was a small moment, but another sign to the Jets’ brass that there was a lot more to Saleh than the intensity they’d seen on Fox on Sundays the last couple years. They felt strongly enough coming out of the first interview (and they liked Arthur Smith too), that it was tough to let Saleh leave Jersey after the second interview to go talk to the Eagles in Florida, and then the Chargers in California. But they went through with it and wound up getting their man soon thereafter. And the cool thing here, to me, is because of the way the Jets set up the process, Saleh really did have to win the job, which obviously now he has. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I actually thought about the Zoom interview process and how a poor internet connection could lead to a disastrous interview for a candidate. Glad to see Saleh bounced back and made the best of it. In a normal year, is there typically a phone call or FaceTime type thing before an in person interview?

I think that's what we're seeing with the setup being OC and then both a Run Game Coordinator (Benton) and Passing Game Coordinator (Calabrese) below Lafleur - the hope is that if Lafleur leaves, one of the two will be ready to step into his shoes to keep continuity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustiniak Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 the main takeaway for me was that he had a plan for the offense, so he already has a qb preference presumably. and right after they hired saleh they started pumping up darnold. so they're definitely trading him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Read about how Saleh won the miners DC job. He comes prepared in these interviews with a concrete multi-year plan down to practice details about how to turn the team around... This is a guy that understands contingency planning and scenario analysis, and is detail-oriented. Kind of like a Bill Belichick on adderal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also worked his way up from defensive intern and just outproduced everyone else from an output and efficiency standpoint with new tech (at the time). That's the name of the game with shortened practices with this CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the name of the game with shortened practices with this CBA. Yeah, I remember reading that too — about tech. When he got his start, the older generation of coaches were not tech literate and he used this to his advantage. Saleh screams brilliant. This league is all about adapting. We’ll see how well he adapts and how well he adapts to those that have adapted to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
