NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets have reached an agreement in principle with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh (SAH’-luh) to hire him as their head coach. Saleh replaces Adam Gase who was fired on Jan. 3 after going 9-23 in two seasons. The 41-year-old Saleh is recognized as an energetic leader who is well liked by his players and had been the 49ers’ defensive coordinator under Kyle Shanahan since 2017.

Salah was an assistant coach on the Seahawks staff when they won Super Bowl 48. He was most recently the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.
