After a disappointing start to the season from the SF 49ers’ defense, it is time to fire defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.
SF 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has come under fire for the team’s abysmal defensive showing against quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins in Week 5.
The Niners lost 43-17 to a team that, until recently, was the laughingstock of the NFL.
Some of Saleh’s criticism came from NBC Sports Bay Area analyst Donte Whitner, a former Niners defensive back, who criticized Saleh specifically for his use of Brian Allen in Allen’s first NFL start while appearing on KNBR 680 shortly after the game:
CB Brian Allen gave up game-changing plays vs Miami, but Donte Whitner blames #49ers DC Robert Saleh for putting him in those positions to begin with.
