No, Robert Saleh is not coming to the 49ers

Stop asking for it, the 49ers are not going to make a change at defensive coordinator to accomidate Robert Saleh after the latter was fired from the New York Jets. They aren’t bringing him in as a consultant either. No matter how bad the defense may be, with any losses in the future, blown leads, or what have you, the 49ers will ride Nick Sorensen and Brandon Staley until season’s end at the very least, perhaps longer.

Had the San Francisco 49ers managed to let the 20-point lead they had against the Seattle Seahawks slip away completely, you’d probably find some fans spending this weekend calling for Kyle Shanahan to do the above scenario; remove Sorensen as defensive coordinator or at least bring in Saleh.
