As the head coach for the New York Jets, Robert Saleh brings a wealth of experience during his decades-long career. Beginning as an assistant coach with the Houston Texans, Saleh has worked for iconic franchises in the league, including the San Francisco 49ers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Seattle Seahawks. Winning a Super Bowl as an assistant coach with the Seahawks in 2014, he’s experienced a successful run supporting the strategies and plans of the best coaches in the league. As defensive coordinator for San Francisco from 2017-2020, he left the 49ers to join the Jets as head coach after the 2020 season.
Inspired to follow his passion for coaching, he left a lucrative finance career to begin a job as an assistant football coach at Michigan following the September 11 attacks. His brother David was one of the workers in the South Tower when the initial plane hit the North Tower. Despite intercom calls for workers to return to offices, his brother continued to the lobby and escaped. Viewing this experience as a wake-up call, Saleh quit his job and began the long journey from intern to assistant coach to defensive coordinator to head coach in the National Football League.
He now shares his journey with audiences to inspire listeners to follow their dreams.
