During the 2021 coaching cycle, Robert Saleh was a hot name before becoming the New York Jets head coach. During the 2025 coaching cycle, Saleh is once again a hot commodity.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport shared on social media that the Dallas Cowboys “have interest in and are expected to interview former Jets coach Robert Saleh for the vacant head coach position, source said. Would be their first known request.”
This will be Saleh’s third head coaching interview this cycle along with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Not a Great Indictment of The Jets
Following Week 5 of the 2024 season, the Jets fired Saleh as the head coach of the team.
He finished with a 20-36 overall record. That is the third-worst winning percentage (.357) of any head coach in Jets franchise history that coached in at least 32 games.
Despite that record and the criticisms that Saleh has previously received for clock management and mistakes during his media availability that hasn’t affected his perception in NFL circles.
It isn’t typical for fired coaches to immediately garner this much attention from other NFL teams. That is other teams saying the Jets are a dysfunctional mess and Saleh was simply a victim that couldn’t overcome it.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
