Before he was named the Jets’ head coach last year, Robert Saleh had never held the position at any level. If there was one thing that surprised him in his first season, it was how often he needed to do things that had nothing to do with game-planning — from meetings to press conferences to public-facing events required of the face of the franchise.
“The administrative part is probably the biggest thing in terms of making the adjustment with a constant to-do list that you’ve got instead of being able to watch tape,” he said last week, where he was coaching the Senior Bowl. “But it’s a blessing. It’s one of 32, so I’m one of those guys, I count my blessings every day. I’m very fortunate.”
