Robert Saleh could find his way back to New York.<\/p>\n

With the Giants\u2019 head coaching job<\/a> among those currently open, the ex-Jets coach is likely to garner some interest \u2014 at least according to one NFL insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Saleh is at least going to elicit interest, and may well land a job,\u201d Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer wrote in his mailbag<\/a> this week. \u201cHe\u2019ll interview well, he\u2019s very close with a lot of the (Kyle) Shanahan-(Sean) McVay tree offensive coaches (so finding a good OC won\u2019t be a chore), and he\u2019ll be able to energize a franchise that\u2019s fallen on hard times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see the Titans or the Giants taking a long look at him, paired potentially with a Mike McDaniel (if he doesn\u2019t make it in Miami<\/a>) or Mike LaFleur to run the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saleh was famously fired by Jets owner Woody Johnson following a loss to the Vikings in London that dropped the 2024 squad to 2-3.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s reinvigorated his career in a return to the 49ers as their defensive coordinator, fielding a defense that\u2019s helped keep the injury-ravaged team competitive.<\/p>\n

The scars of his time with Gang Green, during which he posted a 20-36 record, are still healing, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said it wasn\u2019t difficult,\u201d Saleh told The Post\u2019s Mark Cannizzaro<\/a> ahead of San Francisco\u2019s Week 9 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium. \u201cOf course it was difficult because you always want a chance to compete to the very end. But you\u2019ve got to pick up and get yourself off the grass as quickly as possible and move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have confidence in myself and the people I\u2019m surrounded by. I don\u2019t feel like I have to prove anything. I\u2019m just going to go out and do the best I can, and hopefully the results are good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants fired Brian Dabolll after a 2-8 start to the season<\/a>, while the Titans canned Brian Callahan in October.<\/p>\n

Those franchises could offer Saleh what the Jets never could is a potential franchise quarterback, something Tennessee hopes it has in No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward and Big Blue is seeing emerge in Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n

Dart, the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, certainly caught the former head coach\u2019s eye<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, they hit the jackpot on this kid. The jackpot,\u201d Saleh told The Post. \u201cHe just has a Mahomes-esque quality. I\u2019m just telling you, he is freaking good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Good enough to lure him back to town? Time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Saleh could find his way back to New York.
