"A source added he also wanted to bring 49ers linebackers coach DeMeco Ryans along as his defensive coordinator, but Ryans might replace Saleh in San Francisco instead."

I respect Saleh shooting his shot before he leaves town. https://t.co/gxrSVktuzC

I am nervous about elite players becoming coaches. Let's hope he does a better job than Mike Singletary.

I'm thinking Singletary was too old style to be a coach. I wasn't in the locker room but if I had a guess, he really couldn't connect with the players on their level.
Demeco isn't too far removed from playing, so he can probably relate more to the game these guys are playing nowadays.
Just my hot take. No facts to back that up.

Don't let one bad experience sour you on the whole deal, plenty of great players have made good coaches. Even then he is getting a shot at DC a franchise with strong leadership, NOT a head coach gig which is where the wheel fell off on Sing.

Happy for him. Happier it'll most likely be the same system and position coaches. Good luck to Saleh.
Most important thing now:

Where does Kris Kocurek land? Do the 49ers convince him to stay or do they lose him to Saleh?

Yeah, it will be interesting who Demeco picks as his linebacker coach.

Ryans knows the system and is popular with the players. That's 2 big check marks in his favor. Let's see if he adds any wrinkles of his own.

Singletary was made coach over a decade after having been a player. Ryans is a few years removed from his playing days so his experience is far more likely to be relevant with the current NFL and the way offenses are playing. Mike Vrabel is a good recent example of a guy who went from a heady, high IQ player to a successful coach.

It's very evident how good of a leader and communicator DeMeco Ryans is from this clip. Now it's all about how he can tweak and improve the defensive schemes/play-calling this season. pic.twitter.com/f5KA0GCGrB

This is what I'm most curious about.
