Robert Saleh returned to the San Francisco 49ers as defensive coordinator after a period of uncertainty in his career. Saleh expressed gratitude towards the 49ers for their support during his earlier struggles in 2017-2018 and emphasized his loyalty to the organization. This reunion with the team and Coach Kyle Shanahan marks an important opportunity for Saleh to continue his coaching journey where he began, following his unsuccessful bid for the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching position.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for this organization. If you think about those first two years as the coordinator in '17 and '18, it wasn't easy... I'm indebted to this organization, to those men for the rest of my life.
When Saleh didn't land the Jacksonville Jaguars head job, he came back to the 49ers on Jan. 25, reuniting with coach Kyle Shanahan and the franchise that gave him his first coordinator opportunity.
