The Dallas Cowboys interviewed former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh in their search for a Mike McCarthy replacement. He never gained any more traction than that in Dallas as far as the head coach position went, and it was assumed by almost everyone he was headed back to the San Francisco 49ers to be their defensive coordinator once again.
That never became official, and now word is the Cowboys are interested in bringing him to Dallas to be the defensive coordinator.
Robert Saleh is a lead candidate for the DC role in Dallas, but the #Cowboys have to contend with that team in Santa Clara for his services — he and the 49ers having a pre-existing relationship as well.

We all know Patrik Walker is very plugged-in to the happenings at the Star so this isn’t just another crazy rumor, the must be some fire behind the smoke. But, it feels difficult to believe that Saleh would turn down a return to the 49ers to take on the somewhat messy situation currently evolving in the Cowboys coaching search.
We’re not privy to what is going on behind the closed doors, so maybe Jerry Jones and company are doing the right things to tempt him. Securing the services of a defensive coordinator as qualified as Saleh would be a nice get for a team that needs a rebound.
We’ll file this one in the “we’ll believe it when we see it” category.
There have been whispers circulating within the NFL coaching community that the Dallas Cowboys are eyeing San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a potential candidate to fill their vacant defensive coordinator position.
Saleh, who has been lauded for his defensive acumen and ability to develop young talent, has been a key architect of the 49ers’ dominant defense over the past few seasons. Under his leadership, the 49ers defense has consistently ranked among the top units in the league and played a crucial role in the team’s journey to Super Bowl LIV.
With the Cowboys looking to revamp their defense after a disappointing 2020 season, Saleh could prove to be the perfect fit to bring a new energy and strategic approach to the team. His aggressive and innovative defensive schemes could help revitalize a Cowboys defense that struggled to find consistency last season.
While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, the possibility of Saleh joining the Cowboys coaching staff has generated a buzz among fans and analysts alike. It remains to be seen whether Saleh will ultimately make the move to Dallas, but the potential addition of a coach of his caliber could be a game-changer for the Cowboys defense in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing coaching rumor.
