According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles have requested to interview 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh for their vacant Head Coaching role.
This does come as a slight surprise given that the Eagles typically favor offensive-minded Head Coaches, but it’s a pleasant one.
Saleh may well be one of the brightest Head Coaching candidates on the market and is preparing for a second interview with the New York Jets. Widely renowned for his fiery personality and ability to get the best out of his players, Saleh somehow guided a Niners defense that was ravaged by injuries all year long to a truly dominant year.
