Robert Saleh will reportedly be the San Francisco 49ers' fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.
Adam Caplan of ESPN cited a source on Monday and reported the 49ers were expected to make the hire. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network confirmed the report.
Zac Jackson of Pro Football Talk noted there was previous talk of Saleh sharing duties with Atlanta Falcons assistant Jerome Henderson, but Caplan clarified there wouldn't be a co-defensive coordinator situation.
Saleh was the Jacksonville Jaguars linebackers coach for the past three seasons.
