The Las Vegas Raiders are setting their sights on the future following a lackluster 4-13 season in 2024. After parting ways with head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco, the Raiders are focused on finding a leader who can establish a strong culture and bring consistency to the franchise.

Former Jets head coach Robert Saleh has another interview date set. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Saleh will meet with the Raiders next Thursday, Jan. 16. Saleh, who compiled a 20-36 record as Jets head coach from 2021-2024, is one of several known candidates for the Raiders job after Antonio Pierce was fired earlier this week.

The San Francisco 49ers are targeting Robert Saleh as their defensive coordinator, and they seem to be taking a big risk in doing so. In an appearance on the “49ers +/-” podcast, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reported that the Niners have pledged to make Saleh the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL if he accepts the job.
