Browns Will Reportedly Fly to Santa Clara to Interview 49ers DC Robert Saleh

It seems like only a matter of time until San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh gets his shot as a head coach. Will the Cleveland Browns end up providing such an opportunity?

As it stands, the organization is quite interested in making that happen. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Browns will interview Saleh for their head coach opening this weekend.

Let's be real, Cleveland execs wouldn't be flying all the way to California unless they were serious about Saleh's potential future with the team. He's made SF's defense among the best in the league.

Plus, if you're looking for a coach with fire and passion, look no further than the 40-year-old DC. The man's love for the game can't be measured.
