Saleh has been one of the NFL’s hottest names this season, and rightfully so. The 49ers’ defense has been one of the best in the league and played a large role in getting the team to Super Bowl LIV, where they ultimately fell to Kansas City.
According to NFL Network’s Peter Schrager, Saleh is also slated to interview with the Lions later in the week.
As reported on @NFLonFOX , the Lions are simultaneously interviewing HC's and GM's. Marvin Lewis has already interviewed for HC job.
Expectation is Darrell Bevell, Eric Bieniemy, and Robert Saleh all will interview for the HC job this week.
