There was a large contingent of\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0fans who celebrated when Robert Saleh was fired five games into the 2024 regular season.<\/p>\n

There are a large contingent of\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0fans who like the fact that he’s intervewing with Jerry Jones’ team on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Since Saleh’s departure from the Jets after a dismal 20-36 mark over three-and-a-half years with the club, the defensive-minded coach has taken multiple head coaching interviews around the league.<\/p>\n
