Mere moments after news broke that Brian Shottenheimer was going to become the Dallas Cowboys’ new head coach, Tom Pelissero broke the news on social media that Robert Saleh was removing himself from the interview process to return to San Francisco as the 49ers’ new defensive coordinator in 2025. “Reunion: After interviewing for three head […]

Robert Saleh might be returning to the San Francisco 49ers as their defensive coordinator, a position he absolutely nailed from 2017 to 2020.

In many ways the NFL is like poker. If you’re competing against 31 other franchises and you don’t know who the sucker is… you’re the sucker. The Jacksonville Jaguars found that out the hard way when their decision to retain Trent Baalke as GM hindered the team’s ability to land one of the top head […]

Although Robert Saleh was fired midway through the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars see all the potential with the former head coach. While his head coaching tenure didn’t go as planned, he’s proven to be an effective leader and has his players’ best interest. The franchise thought Doug Pederson would be that guy, but that wasn’t […]

The New York Jets are no longer in the playoff hunt. Frankly, they’ve been out of the hunt for weeks, and they’ve potentially been out of it since early October when owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh. The idea was that point that having a four-time MVP quarterback like Aaron Rodgers on the […]

The New York Jets are back to square one with the state of the franchise. Following another hugely disappointing campaign, one where they had Aaron Rodgers under center for each of their matchups, it’s time to take a step back and build once again. Before the 2024-25 season, there were very few that could’ve predicted […]

Happy birthday to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He’s now 41 years old and still playing NFL football, which is certainly something to be in awe of.

When Aaron Rodgers was acquired by the New York Jets back in April 2023, the expectation around the league was that four-time MVP was just the guy to drag the Jets out of the NFL’s basement and bring one of the two teams playing in the Big Apple to relevancy. While the Jets have been relevant over […]

Aaron Rodgers has always been known as a “spiteful” quarterback, and that’s served him well throughout his career. That chip on his shoulder fueled him to four MVPs while he was with the Green Bay Packers. In a recent example, he was very clear that quickly making a comeback from the torn Achilles that stole […]

For the first time since firing Robert Saleh, the New York Jets got back into the winning column with a 21-13 nod over the Houston Texans.
