Robert Saleh will be a head coach in the NFL next season, just not for his hometown team.
The New York Jets announced late Thursday night that they have reached agreement with Saleh to be their next head coach.
Saleh, a Dearborn native, is one of six people the Detroit Lions have interviewed for their vacant head coaching job, but was not believed to be a leading candidate for the position.
The Lions hired Brad Holmes as general manager on Thursday and are in the process of whittling down their list of head coaching candidates.
