How successful has Robert Saleh been in his head coaching career?

The New York Jets' head coach is in the 20th year of his NFL coaching career, spanning back to his initial hiring in 2005 as a defensive intern with the Houston Texans.

Between that job as a defensive intern and his current role as New York's head coach, Saleh rose up the coaching ranks as a member of three other team's staffs. He was a defensive quality control coach for the Seattle Seahawks, a linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars and a defensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers.
