The San Francisco 49ers have brought back Robert Saleh to once again be the team’s defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.
This news, as first reported by Mike Silver of the Athletic, comes amid a bit of a farce surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars’ hunt for a new head coach. The Jags had targeted Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen, but he was offered a three-year, $4.5 million deal to remain in the NFC South on Wednesday morning. Saleh was scheduled to fly to Jacksonville on Thursday for a Friday interview with the Jaguars, but then on Wednesday afternoon, Jacksonville fired their general manager Trevor Baalke, whom Niners fans might be familiar with.
