The Jacksonville Jaguars have made significant progress in their head coach search by completing interviews with five candidates, including former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh. This marks Saleh's return to the coaching circuit after a disappointing tenure with the Jets, where he amassed a record of 20–36 before being let go in 2024. His previous experience includes a stint as the Jaguars' linebackers coach during the Shad Khan era, which adds to his appeal for the role.
In addition to Saleh, other candidates interviewed include Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Steve Spagnuolo, and Patrick Graham. The Jaguars continue to seek a replacement for Doug Pederson, who was recently fired. General manager Trent Baalke is assisting Khan in this process, reflecting a consistent approach from previous searches.
