Titans to hire 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as head coach: report

SANTA CLARA – Robert Saleh is again leaving as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator for an NFL head-coaching post, this time with the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports Monday night.

Five years ago, Saleh split for the New York Jets, for whom he went 20-36 before being fired five games into the 2024 season.

Saleh interviewed in person with the Titans earlier Monday, and, afterward, the Titans promptly declared him a finalist with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
