It didn’t take long for former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh to land on his feet after being unceremoniously fired by the team two weeks ago.
The former defensive coordinator turned head honcho turned unemployed coach was seen at Green Bay Packers practice Wednesday afternoon watching over the offense go through work.
Saleh’s sight, after previously stating he would be looking to take time off after being fired by Woody Johnson on October 8th, showed that the coach never intended on being away from the game for very long.
And that was by design according to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.
“I think that’s always a good deal to have the perspective, that defensive perspective on that side of the ball,” LaFleur said Wednesday. “So, (he’s) just taking a look at some of the things we’re doing.
“It’s a good opportunity for him to learn and also for him to help us and give us perspective on how teams might see us, how they might defend us.”
It’s not uncommon for teams to look for new ways to judge their offense.
