On Monday, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch confirmed that three teams have officially requested to interview defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. They are the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Jacksonville Jaguars. While the first two were already known, the last was not. However, the Jaguars' interest isn't unexpected.
"I think Saleh will kill these interviews," Shanahan told reporters via Zoom during a Monday press conference. "I think he'll do a great job."
Saleh has spent the past four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. His injury-ravaged defense was still good enough to rank No. 4 in passing yards allowed, No. 5 in total yards allowed, and No. 7 in rushing yards allowed this season.
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh addressed reporters following the team's final practice of mandatory minicamp. Here's everything he had to say.
