49ers Robert Saleh hired as Titans' head coach

After his impressive second act with the San Francisco 49ers, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh will get a second chance to be an NFL head coach.

Saleh, 46, has agreed to a five-year deal to become the Titans’ head coach after he interviewed with Tennessee earlier in the day, a league source said. The Titans went 3-14 this season, but they have a promising young quarterback in Cam Ward, last year’s No. 1 pick, and lead the NFL in salary cap space.

Everyone in the league knows if you coach the Jets it’s not your fault if they are horrible and deserve a second chance to be a head coach.

However it’s not uncommon for successful. Defensive coordinator is to struggle as a head coach in today’s NFL.
