Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch praise Robert Saleh upon Jets hire

There’s a new leader of the New York Jets coaching staff, and it’s someone who’s expected to bring a high level of energy and intensity to Florham Park. On Thursday, the organization announced the hire of Robert Saleh, who was previously the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator.

The move, which is to create new beginnings for an organization that hasn’t reached the postseason since the 2010 campaign, was met with much praise, including from two of Saleh’s former co-workers in San Fran.

Both 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch spoke on the matter.
