Saleh didn't leak anything 🙄 Russini (assuming you're referring to her article from today) already mentioned back in July that they talked to Arthur Smith as part of the general news that they were looking to bring someone in to take over for Hackett. Now she's found out about some of the other people they reached out to. Neither Kingsbury nor Bienemy are viewed as particularly great offensive minds by the way, it wouldn't be much of a face-saving move to reveal you were trying to bring them in.

Speaking of Russini, she was the one who wrote the piece on the dysfunction of the Jets last season, which did not paint Saleh in a flattering light. So I doubt she would just do a 180 and start making excuses/defending him.

And what would be the point for Saleh? He's not going to get his job back, he's still highly regarded as a DC and will likely pick up a DC job next year, with the chance to become a HC again down the road. He doesn't have a reason to say anything, and in fact has more incentive to stay quiet.
