Briefly

Robert Saleh returns to the San Francisco 49ers as their defensive coordinator, expressing gratitude to the organization for their support during his previous tenure from 2017 to 2018. He acknowledges the challenges faced during those early years and the recent struggles of the team, particularly regarding their defense.

He remains optimistic about the roster's potential and the opportunity to build on their past success, including their Super Bowl run in 2019.
